Pierce: Donald Trump Picked the Wrong News Editor to Fuck With

Holy hell, even I didn't know that He, Trump was dumb enough to cancel the credentials of The Washington Post.

But Tiger Beat On The Potomac was all over it.


"Based on the incredibly inaccurate coverage and reporting of the record setting Trump campaign, we are hereby revoking the press credentials of the phony and dishonest Washington Post," Trump posted on Facebook. Trump had posted to Facebook nearly 20 minutes earlier "to show you how dishonest the phony Washington Post is." "I am no fan of President Obama, but to show you how dishonest the phony Washington Post is, they wrote, 'Donald Trump suggests President Obama was involved with Orlando shooting' as their headline," Trump said. "Sad!"


In case you missed it, here's what the Vulgar Talking Yam was going on about. He went on the electric teevee machine this morning and said,


"Look, we're led by a man that either is not tough, not smart, or he's got something else in mind. And the something else in mind — you know, people can't believe it," the Post quoted Trump as saying on Fox News Monday morning. "People cannot, they cannot believe that President Obama is acting the way he acts and can't even mention the words 'radical Islamic terrorism.' There's something going on. It's inconceivable. There's something going on."

During Watergate, John Mitchell famously remarked that "Kate" risked getting her tit caught in the rollers of the WP.

I wonder if he also invented the meme "Princess Dumbass of the North Woods" re Sarah Palin.
