New Yorkers show Trump the hate, and he delivers crazed closed-door tirade

[Demovictory9]

President Trump loves to talk tough, but it just may be that residents of his own hometown got under his skin Thursday.

He went off on a maniacal rant while addressing U.S. diplomats at a Midtown hotel, one of several stops punctuated by outraged New Yorkers with protest signs calling for the president’s impeachment and middle fingers directed at the notoriously thin-skinned commander-in-chief.

His morning started with a motorcade ride from Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue and 57th Street to the InterContinental New York Barclay just six blocks away, to meet with members of the U.S. Mission to the United Nations as the U.N. General Assembly continued.

Trump immediately went into a tirade against the whistleblower, calling him “almost a spy” and fumed that he wants him exposed.

“I want to know who’s the person, who’s the person who gave the whistleblower the information? Because that’s close to a spy,” he reportedly said during the closed-door session. “You know what we used to do in the old days when we were smart? Right? The spies and treason, we used to handle it a little differently than we do now.”


He also threw in some digs at one of his favorite targets, the news reporters, who he called “scum” and “crooked.”


Trump was speaking to about 50 diplomats and their families, according to the New York Times, which noted some of them laughed at the president’s off-the-rails remarks.


The polemic continued a pattern of Trump outlandishly — and baselessly — calling perceived opponents “traitors.” He used the term to smear ex-FBI Director James Comey and former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, among others.

After blowing off a lot of steam in front of U.S. diplomats, the president made for ritzy Cipriani for a “Trump Victory” fundraiser. Along the way, a handful of protesters held up signs with slogans like “Impeach” and “Trump lies, democracy dies,” according to a White House pool report.

1. Always a good read when Trump's

discomfort is the topic.

2. Ya know what we used to do when some traitor sold out...

... our country for personal gain? It was called treason, and the death penalty was the result.

3. "Scum" and "crooked"

I don't think he has a single insult in his arsenal that isn't some form of projection. Deep down, he knows he's shit.

4. An overwhelming majority of New Yorkers hate Trump and always have.

Now, more than ever. They hated him even before he became a republican so it's not even political.

It's his repulsive, odious personality that they despise. Trump is the antithesis of "cool" and New Yorkers can sense it. He is an embarrassment to the city and it's people. They resent the fact that their city is even associated with him.

10. Real New Yorkers have never forgotten (nor forgiven him) for his Bonwit-Teller scam.

There were 2 magnificent Art Deco friezes on the walls of the building, and it also had an ornate metal gate. The Metropolitan Museum of Art was preparing to conserve this artwork. tRump sent in his goons with jackhammers in and destroyed the friezes rather than delay the demolition of the building by 2 weeks so he could build his execrable Tower to Gaudy Opulence.

The gates mysteriously disappeared and have never been located.

He showed everyone just how much of a slob asshole he was.

5. keep talking, asshole

it's kinda fun seeing how CORNERED you are now

[BootinUp]

6. This guy is just gonna take himself down.

In the end it will seem easier than it all has been.

8. I had the same thought, too: He is impeaching himself.

And I wish him all success in that endeavor.

7. He'll always have to be behind closed doors. He's not fit for out of doors public consumption.

[NCLefty]

9. I think he will probably sell the tower and just live at Mar-a-Lago after this.

He won't want to be in NYC.
