Trump tweets create new outrage

President Trump has reignited feuds with the mayor of London, the media, Democrats and his own Justice Department with a new series of tweets on Monday that begins a critical week for his administration.
 
Days before testimony to the Senate Intelligence Committee by former FBI Director James Comey, the president for the second day in a row lashed out at London Mayor Sadiq Khan, saying he had to “think fast” to excuse comments that people in his city need not be alarmed after Saturday’s terror attack.
 
It was one in a series of tweets from the president, who also targeted the media for trying to give cover to Khan, saying they were “working hard” to sell his argument.
 
Even more unusually, Trump said his own Justice Department should have stuck to an original White House executive action that blocks people from seven predominantly Muslim nations from entering the United States.

The city just had a terrorist attack killing people, and the first thing he does is criticize the mayors words. Sociopaths learn to fake it ,but it is situations like this that they slip up, not realizing how it looks.

To paraphrase a quote from George Carlin, "Ever notice that James Comey had an operation on his asshole, and Trump had an operation on his middle finger? What are these two trying to tell us?".

He knows by prattling on with this nonsense, the media will be focused on his theatrics and will keep the story off Russia. It's going to get a lot worse in the coming days... you watch.
