Trump bashes GOP primary challengers including Joe Walsh, Bill Weld

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 couldn’t stand up straight while receiving an award. I should be able to take them!"

What the dotard doesn't realize is that it's rare for an incumbent president to be primaried.

the fact that there are challengers at all shows he's weak. Historically, an incumbent president who's been primaried is defeated in the general.

them shows that they are getting in his head. He's afraid they may show that he is weaker this time around.
