Can you imagine what goes on in private.

Most new admins would be taking care of security and other important matters.

But their big thing is keeping the insecure ego satisfied.

and saying many of the things he said in that press room statement. they were probably just trying to get him to calm down or move on.

but then he made him go out there and tell the media and others the "truth".

Me? Or your lying eyes. Just TRY to tell me his crowd size was bigger. If they do, theyhaven't heard the last of the blow back. Have they seen the people in DC, NYC and dozens of other places? They are not going away, Duffus.

Trump: The media is dishonest, make it seem like I had a feud with the intel community.


Despite the fact that the press merely reported his Tweets and statements verbatim.

It's all raising a lot of eyebrows in the Twittersphere.
