President Trump, as the White House will often remind us, is a counterpuncher. You hit him; he hits back twice as hard. You bring a knife; he brings a bazooka.
But while the White House thinks Trump's counterpunching is only fair, this is not a two-way street. And yet again Monday, the White House made the case that it is simply not okay to criticize the president in the manner he goes after others.
After Trump attacked Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) over some veiled criticisms last week, Corker tweeted Sunday that the White House was an adult day-care center and later suggested Trump's threats to foreign countries could lead to World War III. Appearing on Fox and Friends on Monday morning, White House counselor Kellyanne Conway said that this was not okay.
Host Brian Kilmeade teed it up nicely, saying, What a demeaning tweet at the president.
Well it is, and world leaders see that, Conway responded. Weve all worked with Senator Corker over the years. We thank him for his service, but I find tweets like this to be incredibly irresponsible.

And because Donald Trump fight back, we elected him.
Otherwise known as, pugnatis electamus.
OhNoWoPoGoHoMo
Gee I remember a certain President “Cough Cough” Barack Obama..who criticized Fox News REPEATEDLY and the Commie media LOVED that
(You THINK this isn't him)
Or, slightly more accurately but still grammatically incorrect,, pugnas ergo te electamus.
Sounds like they miss President Bush.
And Obama didn’t? LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!
There was nothing veiled about them.
Aaron Blake the snowflake?
(Sounds like they miss President Bush.)
Well said. Luckily Trump learned from President Bush what NOT to do! I bet he says to himself “what would George W do?” and then does the opposite! No wonder he’s doing well against the Democrat media.
I think I see the problem, Pajama Boy.
Why are you punching in the first place?
When Obama was in there he had the entire MSM to act as a critic of anyone who complai9ned about him.
Trump is “A Man Alone” and as such has to YELL HIMSELF instead of having his non-paid butt kissing lackeys in the MSM defend him like Obama did.
IMHO the attitude of the White House toward unfair criticism is not authoritative enough.
Yeah he really is doing a great job.
