President Trump on Friday bemoaned the amount of media coverage devoted to supporters at his Wednesday night rally chanting "send her back" about Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) as he dug in on his attacks against the first-term congresswomen and three of her colleagues. Trump fired off a trio of tweets in which he shifted blame for the uproar over the chants onto the media one day after he sought to distance himself from the refrain. He again accused Omar of hating the country and blasted "vile and disgusting statements" made by progressive lawmakers he has attacked for six consecutive days. "It is amazing how the Fake News Media became 'crazed' over the chant 'send her back' by a packed Arena (a record) crowd in the Great State of North Carolina, but is totally calm & accepting of the most vile and disgusting statements made by the three Radical Left Congresswomen," Trump tweeted.

What if I wasn’t being sarcastic?

Oh, did you think I meant you?

We do have a fundamental communication problem, I think.

We must overcome it, otherwise how do you expect to learn?

You are no longer arguing with the old woman.

You are now in the presence of greatness. Act accordingly.

I was stating my honest opinion of you.

True, the threads got mixed.

As for fear vs love, the outcome is universally understood.

Think of it this way: which produces the more desired fruit?

And which is ontologically primary?

I see. You meant you were being sarcastic.

No, I didn’t catch your sarcasm. Now I understand.

If you can teach me something, please do. But make it substantive so we can review the content of what you were able to teach me.
