CNN counterterrorism analyst Philip Mudd had some pretty harsh words for President Trump in response to his feud with the press.

“This is a guy who looks in the mirror and he wants to see Adonis and we see Shrek,” Mudd said. “I mean, it’s not that complicated.”

You can tell the guy who can’t take a punch by the fact that he’s the one whining about it. Right, Mr. Mudd?

“Taking a punch” is leftist media speak for being an uncomplaining professional punching bag, like GWB was. It appears they can’t deal with an adversary who fights back, which is entirely in keeping with the left’s “cut and run” ethos, which the leftist media has modified to “cut and hurl epithets while running.” It’s behavior entirely typical of cowards.

‘It is We The People’s feud.’

It really, really is. Decades of biased leftist reporting has gone largely unanswered. The frustration that created for many conservatives is indescribable. Finally we’ve got a POTUS smacking these yapping chihuahuas around. This is LONG overdue.

Mirror mirror on the wall, is the press the biggest bunch of babies of them all?

Maybe President Trump can put mirrors on the walls at the Mar a Lago “basement” with black garbage bag covered windows.

When Mudd looks in the mirror, does he see someone who can take a punch? Because this hit punch suggests that he cannot.

We have a president who knows what he wants to do and is willing to fight back when he, his plan and his people are attacked. The lame stream press is NOT use to that. They are the “ones” who can NOT take a punch.

It is punching back. This is what the Republicans won’t do. It is how you fight the smears and Fake News.

Correction: We HAD a narcissist President who couldn’t take a punch.

President Trump is most assuredly not a narcissist. He has a very obvious capacity for empathy.

If you look at the DSM V, you’ll see that Narcissistic Personality Disorder is a perfect fit for Obama.

Sure, Trump has a high opinion of himself. He has to. Not everyone wakes up one day thinking: “Hey, I should be the leader of the Free World”.

And he has to withstand terrible abuse.

But a narcissist? No. That diagnosis does not fit.
