WASHINGTON -- President Donald Trump is apparently taking notice of the small field of fellow Republicans challenging -- or contemplating challenging -- him for the GOP nomination in 2020.
In a pair of tweets Tuesday, the president referred to having "Three Stooges running against me."
"One is 'Mr. Appalachian Trail' who was actually in Argentina for bad reasons," Trump continued.
A second tweet reads: "....Another is a one-time BAD Congressman from Illinois who lost in his second term by a landslide, then failed in radio. The third is a man who couldnt stand up straight while receiving an award. I should be able to take them!"
