He is doing his normal distraction routine. This mornings rant was bait and switch for the real

[kydo]

Stories he doesn't want us to talk about.

Like the huge conflicts of interest stories, either NY Times or Washington Post or both are running.

Oh and yeah, I am sure it pisses him off that Hillary won the popular vote and by such a big margin. He probably is hoping the people he paid to rig the election covered their tracks.

I am sure he was positive Hillary won't seek a recount after his "It's rigged" rant and her going on the record as everyone should accept the results. He either forgot about other candidates or thought they would not seek a recount.

So in a way yesterdays and today's rants on twitter are probably partially about him being not happy about recounts and most certainly he is not happy about Hillary's sizable popular vote win.

But the true motive is bait and switch, divert and deceive.

It's a distraction ploy.

Don't be fooled.

1. And everyone falls for it

No one is asking about his taxes, for example.

[kydo]

2. Or demanding he hold a press conference, as another example

19 days and counting.....

[WhiteTara]

3. K&R

It's important to be aware every time he throws out one of these tweet distractions, something real is going on somewhere in the background of his showmanship.

[VOX]

16. THIS

Absolutely true!

[cwydro]

4. Yep.

The press are fools.

[world wide wally]

7. They are just following the script

[Salviati]

5. If you're tweeting about the same thing trump is,

You're the mark at the table. The sooner people learn that, the better.

[octoberlib]

6. I'm never fooled by this asshole con man.

He projects and deflects. Kelly anne Conway was on CNN today threatening to prosecute Clinton again.

[kentuck]

8. He is very good at distraction.

From one day to the next, he maneuvers to get a new position.

9. Four years is a long time to keep switching

my prediction is that he will eventually devolve into attacking Native Americans because

a) Their casinos hurt his/Adelsons biz

b) There are over 500 tribes so it is target rich.

c) The great American interior doesn't give a crap about NA.

10. bait and switch

Yup...he did this all through the year and the media let him get away with it..Democrats are painfully weak! Not one surrogate on Sunday morning aggressively defending the recount. That would not be the republicans...They would have been in court SCREAMING FRAUD in unison if ALL the exit polls had Trump ahead and he mysteriously loss. Now they are all flooding the news cycle trashing the recount while the Dems fearfully surrender to giving a disgraceful misogynistic man endorsed by KKK "a chance." Weak. Weak. Weak.
The media is also to blame for Trumps rise. They should be boycotted..especially Morning Joe.

But you better believe the Clinton campaign knows this was rigged.

11. i keep thinking, the visits to podunk-

were probably really about probing the locals, seeing who was bribable, hell, who would swing things w/o a bribe, just to ingratiate themselves.

big fish visiting the little ponds, and gobbling up the big fishies in them.
so easy to pick off a puppet or 2 at each stop. no wonder he made 5 a day.

[keithbvadu2]

12. Trump claimed mightily that the election was rigged but he does not want to find the truth now.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

13. It's not either or. Analyzing his every word might gaslight those listening and following on Twitter

But let's put the Internet in perspective. It's used to manipulate and effectively hurts everyone in more ways than it benefits.

[KewlKat]

14. that has always been his mantra and the media let him get away with it. I'm so sick to death of

him and his mouth and hate and all the lies he tells. Dark days are ahead for our country but we must keep pushing back.

[DownriverDem]

15. Trump threatening Hillary Now

I just saw where Trump said that if Hillary joins the re-count, he will pursue her. He's crazy.

[robbedvoter]

17. "Distraction" used to be a thing during W too - before twitter

people deciding which bad news should take precedent. There's no distraction. Just bad news all over.
The conflict of interest were covered, timely, by Kurt Eichenwald. Rest of media was chasing Comey's bait at the time. So who's distracted? What am I supposed to do about the conflicts pf interest today? How can we ignore 🍊's own words, revealing his madness?
