November Surprises
President Trump questioned the intelligence of former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz in a tweet after Schultz hinted at an “independent” presidential bid in 2020.
Said Trump: “Howard Schultz doesn’t have the ‘guts’ to run for President! Watched him on 60 Minutes last night and I agree with him that he is not the ‘smartest person.’ Besides, America already has that! I only hope that Starbucks is still paying me their rent in Trump Tower!”
