'Me me me!': Internet groans as 'pathetic man-child' Trump makes Roseanne's firing about himself

NOOR AL-SIBAI

After a day of Roseanne Barr’s racist comments about a former Obama aide dominating the news cycle, President Donald Trump managed to make the star’s firing about himself — and Twitter isn’t soon to let him off the hook.

In a mid-day tweet, Trump suggested Disney CEO Bob Iger exhibited a double standard when he apologized to Obama aide Valerie Jarrett for Barr’s racist tweet comparing her to an ape but never extended the same courtesy to the president for making a “HORRIBLE” statement about him.




While that statement remains unknown, the Wall Street Journal‘s Tim Hanrahan noted that Iger “quit Trump’s business advisory council back in June 2017” after he decided to leave the Paris climate accords, and later called the president’s cancellation of DACA “cruel and misguided.”




Maggie Haberman, a New York Times journalist who has herself been in the president’s crosshairs, succinctly summed it up when she suggested Trump is like a child whining “mememememe.”

I find it odd, though, that Maggie Haberman is joining in the dog pile of Trump. Isn't she afraid she might lose access to the Trump White House? Usually, she's the doting mommy rushing to correct whatever deficiency is causing her little precious's tantrum.

getting off potshots at him. In the same vein, I don't get McCAIN and family not defending all out while only attacking in puny little bursts.

He also knows interviews with them are a way to get his words in front of an audience that wouldn't normally listen to him.

She doesn't take those hard shots at him. She is a poser.
