Not only do you get my @newrepublic piece on the (yawn) GOP Convention so far, but as an added exclusive I have somehow wangled a brief interview with biographer @MerylGordon on what Melania Trump has done to Bunny Mellon's White House Rose Garden. https://t.co/ymSgwoLetl — PolitiTweet.org

@CJSprigman @newrepublic @MerylGordon Thanks. I went with what Merriam-Webster Unabridged calls the obsolete definition: "A brawling boisterous turbulent person." The shorter Oxford Dictionary, which puts a lesser emphasis on gender, adds to the definition in ways that perfectly fit Trump: "a blusterer, a bully." — PolitiTweet.org
