Source: Mediate

On Tuesday, President Donald Trump took a break from his recent trend of tweeting out Fox News clips in order to take a swing at his favorite enemy: the political press.




Trump has been even more active on Twitter than usual lately, throwing barbs and personal insults toward his political enemies throughout the last few days. These targets include John McCain, Robert Mueller, a Saturday Night Live re-run, and many others.

Oh yeah, and check out Trump’s absolute latest target:

Trump Opens Fire on Kellyanne Conway's Husband: 'A Total Loser'


by Colby Hall | Mar 19th, 2019, 8:43 am

President Donald Trump is firing back at George Conway, husband to White House Special Counselor Kellyanne Conway on Twitter Tuesday morning.

In a retweet of Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale that dismissed the frequent and vocal critic of President Trump, the commander in chief added on “A total loser!”:




George Conway is a D.C.-based attorney, and recently warned in a series of tweets and retweets, that Trump’s erratic and voluminous social media activity on Sunday is a sign his mental “condition is getting worse.”

His wife, who frequently defends her boss on regular cable news appearances was asked of her husband’s criticism of the president and dismissed it out of hand.

White House got wind of people talking about the conways working in coordination as a distraction, and that dipshit never attacks male Conway. So, this morning...

a "total loser"?
(While I still hold out a slight suspicion that KA and George may be conning us as quite a few "never Trumpers" claim, this frankly only underscores the absolute lack of self-respect this couple manifests)

and the present administration.

Read that Conway responded where he appears more sane. Anywho, the WH has a difficult time in advocating facts and truths.

During Stalin's reign of terror in the USSR people used to be charged with being
"an Enemy of the People" before they were shot or sent to Siberia.

in the third person, let alone claiming that not knowing someone make his statements somehow disappear?

Nut job who is getting much worse with each passing day.

He is going way over the top -even by his sleazy standards.

This is very dangerous rhetoric.

"The Fake News Media has never been more Dishonest or Corrupt than it is right now" and actual fake news truly is the enemy of the people.

He is also right, "There has never been a time like this in American History."

It is bizarre how right he can be without realizing it!


So now we are on day three of Trump's Twitter Tourette's Syndrome. Surely there is some medication available for the disorder.

As to been never more dishonest or corrupt? He clearly has no clue about newspapers in the mid to early 1800s. Most of them were aligned with a political party, machine or whatever, and they lied, distorted and so on constantly
Kind of like how faux spews is now

He uses Twitter to spread lies, attack people and organizations all the time. If you read Twitter's policies he regularly violates them but gets away with it because twitter is afraid of him.

I have had my account suspended several times for posting links to articles that are critical of him. Then a MAGAt complains and I have to prove I am a real person etc.

I am sick of it so today I reported his account. More people need to do so as an act of protest for allowing him to use heir platform to attack and demean people.
