Ted Lieu is out-tweeting Trump, and it’s making him a political star
Since the inauguration of Donald Trump, Lieu has become a tweeting demon, famous as the man, as the Los Angeles Times put it, “trolling the Tweeter in Chief.”
.. “He’s a very serious man. Very polite, very cordial. He doesn’t say any bad words,” says Betty Lieu, his wife of 15 years. “He was raised to be an obedient, dutiful Chinese immigrant son. He does what he’s supposed to do. He is very clean-cut with the perfect record, the perfect résumé. When he’s angry, he’s usually controlled. But Ted said there was no better way to say this.”
.. Lieu’s official website includes a “Cloud of Illegitimacy Clock,” tracking how long he believes Trump has been in violation of the Constitution’s emoluments clause, which prohibits government officials from accepting payments from foreign governments.
