By JULIE HIRSCHFELD DAVIS and MATTHEW ROSENBERG JAN. 21, 2017
WASHINGTON President Trump used his first full day in office on Saturday to unleash a remarkably bitter attack on the news media, falsely accusing journalists of both inventing a rift between him and intelligence agencies and deliberately understating the size of his inauguration crowd.
In a visit to the Central Intelligence Agency designed to showcase his support for the intelligence community, Mr. Trump ignored his own repeated public statements criticizing the intelligence community, a group he compared to Nazis just over a week ago.
He also called journalists among the most dishonest human beings on earth, and he said that up to 1.5 million people had attended his inauguration, a claim that photographs disproved.
Later, at the White House, he dispatched Sean Spicer, the press secretary, to the briefing room in the West Wing, where he delivered a scolding to reporters and made a series of false statements. ... Mr. Spicer said news organizations had deliberately misstated the size of the crowd at Mr. Trumps inauguration on Friday in an attempt to sow divisions at a time when Mr. Trump was trying to unify the country, warning that the new administration would hold them to account.

(90,758 posts)Fuck him.
I hope he cries into his gem encrusted, gold flecked pillow each night.
Fuck the hateful little boy who has never grown up.
His daddy didn't love him and no one else does either.
I'd wager his own kids are just waiting on that will to be read. Kissing his ass and feeding his delusions until that one day they're really looking forward to.
Loser. Sad.
LMAO
Fuck Trump.

(901 posts)Hoping the GOP truly do consider him a fool and remove him from office as Robert Reich reported. tRump is obviously, clearly mentally unfit and probably some sort of psychopath/malignant narcissist. He sure falls in line with the signs listed on this site:
