Trump's deeply disturbing, self-pitying 3 AM tweet RE: "blaming me for the current spate of Bombs"

Donald J. Trump

Verified account

@realDonaldTrump

Funny how lowly rated CNN, and others, can criticize me at will, even blaming me for the current spate of Bombs and ridiculously comparing this to September 11th and the Oklahoma City bombing, yet when I criticize them they go wild and scream, “it’s just not Presidential!”

Lies! It's all lies! You are being lied to. Only *I* know the truth.

Don't listen to your friends or family they are just lying to you. They always have. I know the truth so ignore everything and everyone else. Only listen to me.

THAT is the basis of talk radio and then Fox News. Pure cult tactic number 1.

not to mention a pathological liar, and he's losing what infinitesimal grip he has had with reality possibly compounded by an early stage dementia.

He truly should be a resident in a 'big house' psych ward, not the White House oval office.

There were more semi sane old style Republicans that would work WITH Dems once in a blue moon.

since then the GOP has allowed the extremists to get too big a place at their table, they have a president as greedy, obnoxious and pluckin' nuts as they are and the gloves are off.

It's the fact that tRump doesn't think he has to include anyone else in anything he does as president. This is what you get when a "businessman" is voted in for POTUS.

The only people who pretend not to notice are the ones using him as a shield for their misdeeds. The gop have their perfect president. One who will "sign anything put before him" The man/baby has been demented for a long time, but protected. Too bad the gop does not have any really intelligent members who could run for the WH. THIS ass was the cream of the crop. The gop attracts the lowest forms of humanity. Look at their "leaders"

I'd expand on that to say, character flaws/closeted corruption are GOP-required attributes to making the cut for national office. That ensures obedience to the GOP agenda, regardless of the damage it may do to the vast majority of Americans. Of course it helps that the voter base is a low-IQ, hate/fear driven collection of anti-socialists. They make sure the worst are selected in their primaries. The entire Republican caucus is motivated by personal greed and obedience to whatever anti-democratic agenda the GOP demands.

I.m so old I remember when there were liberals/moderates/conservatives of principle in the Republican Party. That Party has morphed into an Organized Crime Party of ideological group thinkers.

Trump probably watched Don Lemon last night. Don was very emotional, he talked about being a journalist for 25 years, and only in the last 2 years has he gotten death threats, only in the last 2 years has he had to have security. He then stated that there is only one thing different in the last 2 years, Donald Trump.

It's " CNN, and others, can criticize me at will".

This isn't a complaint, it's an action plan. He wants to destroy the free press. He absolutely doesn't believe the press should be able to criticize him at will.

He has said this before, with calls to narrow the first amendment and change libel laws. Now he has kavanaugh and a way to do it. This is all pretext. After the mid terms, thyey will strike, and it won't matter who controls the house.

To do your targeted violence for you there are consequences for it. When you act like a terrorist, talk like a terrorist, and all your leaders you're really close to are terrorist, its obvious what you are. Now openly admitting your a white nationalist only verifies your intentions. Whining now to again claim you're the victim is just more of the same . We are the victims of your actions now, and that's why you will not win. Attacking the media , people, women, people that's been victims and re-victimizing them, should be enough for anyone to realize you are the criminal, the enemy, the one who commits treason against this country then claims the opposite. The voters will turn out to prove who's right, and justice will prove who the criminals are, and who they believe, and its not you.

When you stay up till 3 am feeling sorry for yourself, it is no wonder you are not out of bed till 11.45 (the time I heard somewhere that he shows up in the am) you cannot show leadership so early in the am (if ever) we must understand that he has to have his hair carefully fixed and his orange make up applied before the old fart shows his face.
