While struggling during his red-meat Green Bay buffet Saturday night with Glenn Grothman's identity, Trump went out of his way to praise GOP Sen. Ron Johnson who had been graced with a special presidential perk: a ride back home from DC - - photo, here - - on Air Force One.
Grace notes - - along with statesmanship, sanity and civility - - were in short supply the rest of the night.
Given all the favors and props thrown his way - - speech transcript, video clips, here - - a truly 'tough,' principled and informed Ron Johnson
- - apparently now Trump's official Senate immigration tough-guy - - would have immediately disassociated himself from Trump when he demeaned Johnson colleagues and embraced the demagogue's persona by telling attendees repeatedly they were victims 'betrayed' by unnamed greedy people and corrupt forces:

By the way, Saturday night, is there any place that's more fun than a Trump rally? Can you imagine Sleepy Joe, Crazy Bernie, you look at the candidates, right? I think Pocahontas, she's finished, she's out, she's gone.
So we're delighted to be joined tonight by many incredible Wisconsin Republican leaders. A really great friend of mine, a man who is really the focus of what's going on in so much of Washington.
A very tough guy, very strong guy. I call him Wisconsin tough and I don't even know if you know it and I don't know if you appreciate it, but I'm telling you he's really good. Ron Johnson. Thank you, Ron, a great job. He's doing a big job now, I can tell you that he's working on some things that are very important....
Nothing is more dangerous than the Democrats, crazy immigration agenda...
Ron, you got to get that deal done. You'll get it done. Got to get it done...Ron Johnson's going to do it, Ron, congratulations. Stand up, Ron. Will you get that done for me, please. No get it done for Wisconsin, OK. He'll do it. He'll do it...
...as citizens, as patriots and as Americans, you joined our movement, the greatest movement in the history of our country because you rejected the failures and the betrayals of the past, you were betrayed.
You were betrayed by dishonest people. You were betrayed by stupid people. You served down a corrupt system that enriched itself at your expense. You protected your family, you defended your dignity, you recaptured your destiny, and you took back your country with that great election two and a half years ago.Of course, Johnson the next morning on NBC was 'right-back-atcha, POTUS,' praising Trump's rally speech and using all of Trump's hollow and false, post-Muller report self-exoneration:
I understand the president's frustration. And I also understand the president's supporters' frustration of the media just continuing, continuing this witch hunt. It's ridiculous.
