The Trump-Jeffries Social-Media War Is Heating Up 

Wall Street Journal: “The House Democratic leader from New York has become a steady recipient of Trump’s social-media trolling in recent weeks, complete with derogatory nicknames such as ‘High Tax Hakeem’ and ‘Low IQ,’ a tried and tested approach by a president known for labeling his political foils.”

“The focus on Jeffries is part of Trump’s battle plan for November’s midterm elections in less than six months. Republicans will be defending their narrow majority in the House, attempting to insulate Trump from investigations and impeachment battles during the president’s final two years in office.”

“The social-media push aims to make Jeffries the face of House Democrats and a symbol of what Republicans view as advocates for higher spending, unchecked borders and liberal policies out-of-step with Americans, White House officials have said.”
