'Fools and stupid people': Trump erupts after op-ed warns of his 'verbal incontinence'

Former President Donald Trump issued a third Father's Day Truth Social rant that excluded any serious reference to family — but had lots of hateful words for one of his many perceived foes.

Trump had his mind Sunday night on the Washington Post — which had just published a scathing investigation about its incoming editor Robert Winnett’s ties to a self-described thief.

The former President used this as an excuse to unleash an attack on the newspaper and specifically the columnist Eugene Robinson, whose name does not appear in the byline or the copy of the report.

However, Robinson's name does appear on a recent opinion piece about the presumptive Republican nominee's mental faculties called "Is Donald Trump okay?" that makes the argument he is not.

"His story about hypothetically being electrocuted is another glimpse into a mind that is unwell," wrote Robinson. "His tangents raise serious questions about his mental fitness."

One week later, Trump connected Robinson to a story about Winnett, slated to become the Washington Post's editor in November.

"The Washington Post is absolutely blowing up with Fake Stories!" Trump railed. "They ought to clean up their act - Start writing the TRUTH, and maybe they’d get some of their Readers back, considering that they’ve lost over 50% in just a short period of time. They have fools and stupid people, like Eugene Robinson, who are in no way qualified to be doing what they are doing."

Trump frequently accuses the media outlet that has won Pulitzers for its coverage of his problematic 2016 presidential campaign and attempts to overturn election results as "fake news."

Trump declared Sunday there is no reason the Washington Post should exist.

"The Washington Post is on its last leg, there’s no reason for them anymore," he wrote. "They’re very untruthful, and you get your News from many other far more reliable sources, including those found on the Internet. You would think [Washington Post owner Jeff] Bezos, who is losing more than $100 Million a year on that 'RAG,' would want to at least see REAL Journalism, not Fake Stories that do nothing but hurt and demean our Country.
