NYTimes: Trump Goes on Attack as Russia Revelations Appear to Take Toll



BEDMINSTER, N.J. — President Trump unleashed a new fusillade of tweets on Sunday morning, defending his son Donald Trump Jr., slashing the news media and tarring his long-vanquished opponent, Hillary Clinton.

After a leisurely Saturday afternoon spent at a women’s golf tournament at his club here, where he waved to the crowd from a glassed-in viewing stand, Mr. Trump awoke with a familiar list of grievances.

“HillaryClinton can illegally get the questions to the Debate & delete 33,000 emails but my son Don is being scorned by the Fake News media?” he tweeted shortly before 7 a.m. Forty minutes later, he posted, “With all of its phony unnamed sources & highly slanted & even fraudulent reporting, #Fake News is DISTORTING DEMOCRACY in our country.”

In between those posts, Mr. Trump thanked people who had turned out to cheer him at the United States Women’s Open, which is being played at Trump National Golf Club despite calls from women’s groups for it to be moved because of his record of degrading behavior toward women.

imagine in the summer of 2009 if obama was still talking about John McCain. Republicans didnt like that he always blamed bush as they put it. Trump is always blaming obama and then for good measure tweets about hillary once a week or so.

Fer crissakes, the debate was being held in Flint, Michigan; a question about municipal water was guaranteed to be asked. It would have been political malpractice not to be ready for that question.

Wotta dumbass.
