Trump swipes at ‘selfish’ New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu on his turf
By Josh Christenson

Former President Donald Trump took aim Tuesday at another popular Republican governor during a political rally in New Hampshire on Tuesday, calling Chris Sununu a “selfish, selfish guy” who “never helped” him.
Trump slammed Sununu after a rally attendee referred to the governor as “corrupt” for not having built a full-service Veterans Affairs hospital in the Granite State.
“No longer will New Hampshire be the only state in America without a full-service VA facility. You’ll have it, and you’ll have it done quickly,” the 77-year-old said in a speech announcing his Veterans for Trump coalition in Windham, near the Massachusetts border.
“You’re going to have a brand new VA hospital,” Trump said. “Beautiful. State of the art. Top of the line. The only state that doesn’t have one.”
“Because of our corrupt governor,” an audience member shouted.
“I was waiting for that,” Trump responded with a chuckle. “You know, I was going to say that, but then I thought I’d be politically correct.”

Maj. Bill Martin:
Apparently, neither Trump nor his MAGA-inspired shoutout from the audience understand that the VA is a federal operation over which the governor of a state has zero control or authority.
Which begs the question of why Trump didn't have a hospital built during his first 4-year term.
Wingnut:
The world would be a better place if Fred Trump had worn a condom.

And because he didn’t feel like explaining this stuff to Trump fanatics, he passed on a senate bid.

I've voted for the GOP nominee in every presidential election since I turned 18. Win or lose, I've always felt a good sense of satisfaction after casting my vote.
If Trump is the GOP nominee, I expect to have the same sense of satisfaction coming out of the voting booth having left the selection for President blank. May even feel a little better than usual.
