You have to wonder if he believes this. I'd feel better if he knew it wasn't true but thought the dips that voted for him would believe it.

I can't wait for his fake trial to lead to a fake prison sentence that he carries out in a fake cell for 10 fake years to fake life. Eat fake prison food, take fake craps in your fake toilet and watch your fake hair fall out in clumps you traitor.

That's his goal - to get people repeating his words. You're playing into his hands.

See George Lakoff - check out his CNN video with Stelter. I can find it and link it if you like.

US Journalists believe that news reporting means repeating what people say.

Absolutely not. Journalism means reporting the truth. If his words are lies, the news is the LIE, not the WORDS.

UK journalists have known this for decades.
Some US journalists are figuring it out.

David Corn has a great video clip on how modern journalism can't just be reporting what people say. I can't find it. Anyone can help?

Most days away from D.C. at self owned resorts playing golf
Most nights away from the First Lady?
Most Tweets
Most ego stroking campaign rallies for FUTURE term
Most talks of past campaign race
Most presidential duties delegated to relatives
Most hours watching Fox News
Least hours keeping up with world events
Greater than average "flip-flopping"
Greater than average number of threats to allies
Much greater than average narcissism

is that not a double negative donny boy?

Congratulations on learning that new word "archaic" that effort must have exhausted your brain cell.

You are archaic.

Now fuck off and die.

Trying to restart the Korean War is not an "accomplishment."

Neither is expending $150 million worth of missiles without even destroying the damn target, attempting to erase the Obama legacy and failing, naming your son-in-law as your closest advisor, having to fire half your Cabinet for being commie stooges, or being such a fuckwit your wife doesn't want to live with you.

Such blatant behavior can not be accepted. The media needs to be at the forefront attacking his lies. The media can not let even one tiny lie from Trump's mouth go unchecked.

An approval rating of under 40% just 6 months after winning a presidential election is not a marker of optimism.

So, if anything is fake, it's this silly tweet.
