Trump's making the "ALL WORK & NO PLAY MAKES JACK A DULL BOY" scene in The Shining look like Mister Rogers.

Trump ranted, “The story was knowingly FAKE and, in a certain way, you can say that those Media Outlets that generated it should be brought up on Charges for TREASON for the dissemination of false information!”

Under U.S. law, anyone owing allegiance to America and levies war against them or aids and comforts their enemies within the United States or elsewhere is guilty of treason and can be subject to the death penalty or imprisoned for a minimum of five years.

*****

In his Sunday post, Trump said he was “thrilled” to see Carr’s threats to what he called “Corrupt and Highly Unpatriotic ‘News’ Organizations.”

“They get Billions of Dollars of FREE American Airwaves, and use it to perpetuate LIES, both in News and almost all of their Shows, including the Late Night Morons, who get gigantic Salaries for horrible Ratings, and never get, as I used to say in The Apprentice, ‘FIRED,’ the president wrote.

If it were, Trump would be first in the gallows.

Giving aid and comfort to Russia, who considers itself as at war with the United States, is much closer. Trump just reduced sanctions on them for no apparent reason.

Hiring unqualified hacks to sabotage our health is also close to an act of war against Americans. So is stealing our money, destroying our historical monuments, and terrorizing our citizens. Taken together, these start to look like a coordinated attack against our country. Are you sure you want to go down this road, Donald?

He is a malignant narcissistic sociopath for starters.

What's wrong with those who support him?

Most probably share some of the same characteristics.

Add to all that a good measure of bigotry, misogamy, religious zealotry, irrationality, criminality and greed....

He is nucking futz and he stays up watching shows like Jimmy Kimmel or Steve Colbert’s and
then rage tweets about what they have said as his world is melting down around him. Which
is fine by me but he taking the whole world down with him.

“They get Billions of Dollars of FREE American Airwaves, and use it to perpetuate LIES, both in News and almost all of their Shows, including the Late Night Morons, who get gigantic Salaries for horrible Ratings*, never get, as I used to say in The Apprentice, ‘FIRED,’ the president wrote.

* And Donny Trump is one of those rating points.
