It's really not President Trump's job to check even the most important special government employee.

Mr. Trump fired that ethics cop. We don't know why, by the way.

But the kind of, just, dopey slurs coming from this dim-witted vice president — this charmless oaf — you can have him.

I'm skeptical because I don't think he gives a rip snort about those blue collar guys who voted for him.
