Trump blasts CNN in 3 a.m. tweet for 'blaming me' for bombs

Source: The Washington Post



By Timothy Bella October 26 at 5:16 AM

At the end of a week in which 10 suspected pipe bombs were sent to prominent liberal leaders over a 72-hour period, President Trump took to Twitter past 3 a.m. Friday to criticize CNN, another recipient of a suspicious package, for coverage that he said compared this week’s news to 9/11 and the Oklahoma City bombing.

The 3:14 a.m. tweet, which was posted after an incomplete version of the tweet was published about 30 minutes prior and then deleted, comes in the same week that the president both condemned the pipe bombs and again targeted the media for the coverage of his administration.

“The media also has a responsibility to set a civil tone and to stop the endless hostility and constant negative — and oftentimes, false — attacks and stories,” Trump said at a Wednesday night rally in Wisconsin.

In the hours that followed the discovery of a live explosive device at CNN’s New York headquarters on Wednesday, Jeff Zucker, the company’s president, denounced Trump and his administration for not grasping the consequences that come from their attacks against the media.

He is doubling down on the immigration caravan and ignores the national emergency of the bombs going around!
Bad twisted up priorities in the name of the elections.

...besides being constipated.

With the news that the pipe bombs could have been mailed from south Florida, he was scrambling to make sure that all his mar-a-lago buddies -- including his butler -- had good alibis and disposed of any remaining evidence.

you'd run away. Disappear and hide until the siege was over.

If he were your neighbor, you know your house would never sell, so you'd be stuck with it.

If all the lies you've told are coming back to haunt you . I'd be up too if I had done things that could put me in prison , and many are outside the door ready to come in and slap handcuffs on me. All the crimes committed , and the truth is coming out, all of it, and that's why you hate the press, the truth is your biggest enemy. I still think this guy is hiding some serious health issues, he doesn't look well at all. Excuses is all he's got left, except violence.

How the fuck did he allow his pea sized mind to equivocate this? You know, when people say trump is dumb, I correct them and say "no, he is very cunning and one of the best salespersons I've ever seen". But folks this is just plain stupidity. CNN doesn't have to be presidential! Of course, neither does trump considering the FACT that he is NOT the president, but rather an illegal occupant, and a stooge placed in that office by Putin. Nevertheless, this is one of the most stupid equivocations I've seen from this moron yet.

Not inbound missiles or ISIS terror attack, but an unflattering report on CNN? Get a real job Donald.
