President Trump tweeted out a video compilation on Sunday apparently aimed at critics who said he would never be president.
“They just didn’t get it, but they do now!” Trump tweeted.
The video begins with footage from “The Simpsons” television show that replicates his escalator ride down Trump Tower to announce his presidential campaign in 2015.
The video, produced by YouTube user Elouai, consists of over 2-minutes of pundits, celebrities and politicians projecting that his opponent, Democrat Hillary Clinton, will win the 2016 presidential election.
It also features CNN coverage of election night, showcasing the states Trump won to secure 270 electoral votes.
Trump, who has been in office for well over 500 days, still brings up his presidential election often.
This week he repeated his inaccurate claim that former President Reagan didn’t win the state of Wisconsin during his presidential race.
“Take Wisconsin, I just left Wisconsin,” Trump said at a campaign rally in Montana.
“Reagan had his big win. He won every state except one, the great state of Wisconsin,” Trump said. “I won Wisconsin, first time since Dwight Eisenhower in 1952."
We only have to put up with Trump’s embarrassing tweets for six more years. Then Eric or Donald Jr.can take over. I’m sure they will act somewhat more refined than their dad.
We had plenty of “dignity” with McCain and Romney. How’d that work out for us?
There should be a language alert so kids don’t hear all the vile language.
Or it should be bleeped.
Last thing I want to do is play something full of F bombs and inadvertently have kids hear it.

This is like red-pilling the American public though. They get reminded over and over again how classless and base the Left is.
It takes Trump all of a full minute to fire off a 5:00am tweet that consumes the media all day long. He probably does it while taking a dump. Then he goes about the daily biz of executing his agenda.
What more efficient use of time could there be?
And rely on the likes of CNN and the New York Times to deliver Trump's message?
Since midway through the 2016 election cycle, I've had Trump's tweets programmed to send text messages to my phone. So several times a day on average, sometimes more, my phone lights up with a Trump Tweet. I know I'm just one of 53 million followers but it feels good getting those tweets from the President directly to my phone. Very rarely does a Trump Tweet not have a purpose. Even this one seems to be reminding us not to trust the media and hints that something big might be brewing.
I never considered mccain or romney, dignified. Trump is the first since Reagan who tells us the truth... I voted for Trump for a man who intended to work fast and fight for this side of the equation. A man who fights like Trump does, can do it by using a more dignified way of using words. A man can insult and give the liberals what they deserve, by being a level ahead and a level up, from where they live.
Stay on top of the dems’ tricks and answer them.. explain to the people and treat the dems as children.. they would be busy trying to rebuke that attitude toward them... and the attacks would be less.. put them on the defensive and stay poised for attack... but do it with class. it would bring a lot of the never Trumpers, over to his side.
You FReepes who don’t see anything wrong with being rude and crude, are younger than I am and you grew up in a culture with that being the norm. so you don’t see anything wrong with it... it’s distatesful and a smart fighting attitude would reduce the hatred at him...
You can be as rude as Trump is toward his attackers... but to do it on here to another freeper.. it’s not called for. I know what it used to be in our culture/society... and today, behind a computer.. then in public... it’s just rudeness gone amuck!
There are people I know who won’t look at Trump for what he’s accomplished.. they can’t get past his ways.. his talk, whatever. I was on his train the first time I saw him as a candidate. For those who are stuck on who they thnk he is... it’s a shame.. for he is doing a good job and keeping his promises.. the country is benefiting.. but they can’t get past first impressions.
I have a son who is an attorney in NJ.. he can’t talk about who he voted for, and take the chance of losing his job. Trnasgenders are already in with the upper level.. being a Trump supporter is not allowed. It’s not safe to have a Trump sticker on the car or wear a hat... Even tough you can say it doesn’t matter... it does matter if you have a family and a good job.. just the people are lefties... amd no sense. But every time Trump insults in his language, he makes it worse for the supporters who are in the public eye and out there to be attacked.
If you are not in a vulnerable position, then it won’t matter... but to some, it does.
“Roosevelt used radio, Kennedy and Reagan used television, Obama used Facebook and Trump uses Twitter.”
It wasn’t until later, that the effectiveness was realized.
* I believe our president has help writing some of the tweets, which is fine with me.
Keep on lovin’ the winning!!!!
I love SMG. In fact I think I’m going to watch a Buffy right now. :-)
His Tweets steer around the fake news media who would NEVER report what he is doing without spinning it. He is the President because he tweets.

You just explained why you can’t “Do Nice” with Leftists. History goes through cycles of civility and incivility. These people care not a whit if you are well-spoken and reasonable. How many of these “transgender” civil servants that you mention are gonna be satisfied with anything less than an advocate (like Obama) back in the White House? They [The Left] look for an excuse to fire, harass, fine, or imprison any political foe they can identify. They are vermin, who deserve to have it thrown right back at them.
Also...I’m not that young. I’ll be 48 in two days. I’ve lived long enough to discern the magnitude of the conflict were are in JUST TO HAVE a nation with borders, privileged citizenship, a unifying language and culture. The other side doesn’t give a rats a@@ about having any of those things. They are not our friends nor do they have any desire to be...so the feeling is mutual. I truly don’t care what happens to any of them, which is the same sentiment they have towards me.
It’s time to stop pretending we can all just get along. The struggle for the sovereignty and culture of this country is a zero-sum game given the political views of both sides. Everything that Trump has achieved can be undone if these scum manage to achieve power again. I’m not saying it’s worth maintaining power AT ALL COSTS to our humanity. There are certainly moral lines we should not cross. But we are gonna have to be prepared to get a whole lot nastier as a group than many seem to want to do. Trump fights....for God’s sake let the man fight. I don’t care if he smokes out every RINO globalist and Leftist kook in the country and drives them into a frothing rage. At least we’ll know who these people clearly are (and we can target them right back.)
You hit the ten ring!
Them and dozens of other players who’ve made very lucrative careers looting the tax payers and subverting our country in every direction.
Its great that he does... it works.
I love that he is a Man that does exactly what he wants to do. I also love the fact that I don’t get his words filtered through the criminal nattering nabobs.
I’m not grumbling and I know the divide in our country is not going to be fixed for a very long time.
I lived through obama’s 8 long miserable years, knowing if we didn’t find someone who would turn it around, my grandchildren would live in a world far different than I wished for them.
NO ONE could do what Trump has done. I can’t think of another person who could withstand what Trump has .. daily and hard hitting attacks... he keeps going! I wanted someone like Trump, and I voted for him ... for his fighting attitude... which the GOP did not have and failed to stand for anything.. while the left ran circles around them.
You are not old enough! You are of the geneartion that let rude be okay in all conditions. You can’t imagine what you have not experienced.. not really. Things changed in the 60’s ... society turned ... and it’s gotten more public and more accepted since then... to say anything to anyone. I am a stickler for respect and there is none any more... I have grandchildren who are being taught to be polite.. I tell them to realize they will always be different than most.. just accept it and do what is right. never mind what others do. But kids in our society do not know what is right any more.. Common sense is missing.
I don’t intend to argue with anyone.. I stated my opinion and I think it would be better if Pres Trump used a way that is respectable to tear down the opposition. It doesnt matter to me what he was and I’m tired of the likes of mueller and the media who hate him for nothing more than he messed up their world.. obama messed up mine for a long time.. so they have it coming.
For those who were raised to not swear/cuss.. to show respect, to be honest and trustworthy... to do what is right and to stand for all the good in our country.. rude is not necessary. There are ways to destroy the enemy without using the left’s play book.
Trump’s tweets don’t bother me... I don’t live on Twitter or facebook or whatever else is out there... I grew up when computers were not the way to communicate... but there are some who are turned off by rude and obnoxious behavior.. just because someone can, doesn’t mean someone should.
It’s your world... do with it as you choose. My generation knows what I speak of.. it’s a changed world ... and we know civility was a better way.
well obama got to be the Won so now it is trump’s turn.
it now seems inevitable, in 20/20 hindsight, that we would get a trump.
the loss of a sense of God means that things have to get rougher now to get the message across: this thing has gone way way way out of balance. about to slide over the left side of the cliff.
donald trump is not an uber rightist by historical standards. he is about on a par with jfk but without overt racism.
the manners of politeness (which are superficial) might be less important than the consideration and love, even if it entails a cuss word or two.
Agreed. I'm always chagrined when I see how Trump tweets something as innocuous as "I don't like Brussel Sprouts," and it becomes "Trump goes on bloody Twitter rant! Threatens EU capital!" once the drive-bys get ahold of it.
