Trump rage tweets at New York Times for reporting on FBI's secret investigation into his Russia ties

12 JAN 2019 AT 07:16 ET

As was expected, Donald Trump started off early Saturday morning by attacking the New York Times for publishing a report revealing a secret FBI investigation into his ties to Russia after he fired former FBI Director James Comey.

On Twitter, the president wrote: “Wow, just learned in the Failing New York Times that the corrupt former leaders of the FBI, almost all fired or forced to leave the agency for some very bad reasons, opened up an investigation on me, for no reason & with no proof, after I fired Lyin’ James Comey, a total sleaze!”

That was the summer of that, "The Godfather" (with the horse's head in fully glory on a huge outdoor screen) and "Ben".

Congress may finally have to declare the punishment for treason committed when there are no hostilities governed by the rules of war.

Which certainly seems true here. (The unmistakable projection is a bit of a giveaway too.)

And embarrassing? Definitely! This crap wouldn't fly if he were on the borough council of 8,000 person township.

Clearly this is the stupidest thing Trump has ever believed.

Your tweets have turned so dire and dark! Lighten up, Donny! Look at the positive side of the expose! You're still the darling of the media! You're on ALL of the front pages! You said yourself that any media attention is better than no attention at all, and you were right.

So you're basking in the full light of both print and electronic media, and you're complaining? My God. So what if you're accused of being Putin's butt boy. You're the king! You're on top, where you know you're supposed to be!

I say you should enjoy the glory of your high achievements and have as many photo ops with Vlad as you can possibly muster. Vanity Fair can do a photo spread of you and Vlad, dining on fish eggs, borscht, and a jumbo order of fries. What could be better?

He is so flustered and upset he can not even make up new nicknames. I'm sure the next tweet will be about Crooked Comey or Low Energy Comey...

It's bad! It's bad! Why offer conclusive proof of an allegation when a simplistic blanket tweet using a 3rd grade vocabulary works just fine. After all, the "base" needs to be reassured that this is all "fake news".

corrupt intelligence agencies. What is completely eye opening is how easily he moved his base to having a paranoid view of all US intelligence agencies. It is scary that they may trust no one but him. That is more like a cult leader or dictator.
