There’s Sleepy Joe, He’s Moving Kinda Slow…
Interviewed on Meet The Press this past Sunday, Trump ensured that he wouldn’t be Sleepy Joe deprived. He hammered away at Joe Biden with his favorite nickname for the current 2020 Democratic front runner in the race.

Trying to Get Under Warren’s Skin
Trump first referred to Elizabeth Warren as Pocahontas all the way back in 2014. It was his poor attempt at humor as he mocked Warren for claiming her DNA included Native American heritage.
If Elizabeth Warren, often referred to by me as Pocahontas, did this commercial from Bighorn or Wounded Knee instead of her kitchen, with her husband dressed in full Indian garb, it would have been a smash! pic.twitter.com/D5KWr8EPan

He continued the assault once he took up residence in the White House.
He’s tweeted a Pocahontas reference about Warren 19 times and four times since she declared her candidacy for the Presidency in January.
Pick: Yes (-200)

What? Pete Worry?
Trump’s attempt to mock Democratic candidate Pete Buttigieg famously backfired on him. Upset that Buttigieg was moving in on his turf – doing an interview with Trump lapdogs Fox News – Trump attempted to compare Mayor Pete to Alfred E. Neuman, the cover boy for Mad Magazine. But he fumbled the insult, spelling it “Alfed E Newman” by mistake.
….who got them there. Chris Wallace said, “I actually think, whether you like his opinions or not, that Mayor Pete has a lot of substance…fascinating biography.” Gee, he never speaks well of me – I like Mike Wallace better…and Alfred E. Newman will never be President!

Buttigieg, 37, pointed out that he wasn’t old enough to know who the fictional character famous for the catchphrase “What? Me worry?” in fact was.

Buttigieg claimed he had to Google it to find out.
It turns out that Alfred E. Neuman is in fact a Democrat. His likeness first appeared on political ads in the early 1930’s, accompanied by the slogan, “Sure I’m for Roosevelt.”
Pick: No (-200)
Which Candidate Will Trump Tweet About First During the First Night of Debates?
| Which Candidate Will Trump Tweet About First? | Odds |
|---|---|
| Elizabeth Warren | -150 |
| Beto O’Rourke | +400 |
| Amy Klobuchar | +500 |
| Bill DiBlasio | +700 |
| Jay Inslee | +800 |
| Cory Booker | +1000 |
| Tulsi Gabbard | +1000 |
| Julian Castro | +1200 |
| Tim Ryan | +1200 |
| John Delaney | +1400 |
Who Will First Draw Trump’s Ire?
Trump has never tweeted about Jay Inslee, Tim Ryan, Julian Castro, or John Delaney. He probably doesn’t know who they are.
Warren looks to be the most dangerous threat to Trump’s empire. But there’s someone else that be holds a personal vendetta against.
Can you believe the worst Mayor in the U.S., & probably the worst Mayor in the history of #NYC, @BilldeBlasio, just called me a blow hard!

Trump despises New York mayor Bill De Blasio. He frequently rage tweets about him.
Take the price and put some bills down on Bill.
Pick: Bill DeBlasio (+700)
