Renowned constitutional scholar Laurence Tribe suggested President Donald Trump is “compromised by foreign dictators” during a Twitter broadside on Wednesday.
Tribe has taught at Harvard Law School for a half a century and has argued 35 cases before the United States Supreme Court.
Responding to an online meme discussing what did not exist 15 years ago, Tribe offered his contribution:
Add one more: a president who’s a fuc@;ing idiot with no moral compass or respect for law who’s compromised by foreign dictators and may have committed felonies to win office ⬇️ https://t.co/Q4pbqXTslQ

Prof. Tribe has offered stinging commentary on Trump from his Twitter account. In the past week, Tribe has called Trump a “pathetic coward,” a “pathetic schmuck,” a “shallow jerk,” said he seems, “batsh*t crazy,” mocked his “little hands,” suggested he is a “crime boss,” and called him a “f*cking idiot” — twice.
Trump’s dangerous abandonment of our troops in Syria, coupled with Trump’s lifting of sanctions on Oleg Deripaska’s companies, mark a turning point: Trump is now clearly betraying his country — our country — in favor of Putin, who has him by the whatever. Sheer treachery.

The sails and propellers are coming off the ship of state. We’re in full meltdown mode. There are no lifeboats. It’s time for the captain to find some face-saving way to turn the controls over to others before the remaining crew resigns and the surviving passengers drown.
