Citing his own high approval ratings, President Trump dismissed his potential opposition in the Republican Party primary race, labeling them on Twitter on Aug. 28 as “Three Stooges,” saying, “I should be able to take them!”

“Can you believe it?” Trump wrote. “I’m at 94 percent approval in the Republican Party, and have Three Stooges running against me.”
