He was at it again.
At 3:14 a.m. on Friday, President Trump was awake and tweeting.
“Funny how lowly rated CNN, and others, can criticize me at will, even blaming me for the current spate of Bombs and ridiculously comparing this to September 11th and the Oklahoma City bombing,” he wrote, “yet when I criticize them they go wild and scream, ‘it’s just not Presidential!’”
He tapped that one out as federal authorities were investigating the 12 pipe bombs mailed to the billionaire George Soros, Democratic politicians, Robert De Niro and CNN. Hours later, Mr. Trump’s tweet was national news.
“President Blames Media For Attempted Bombs,” read the onscreen chyron on “Good Morning America” as an ABC News correspondent, Jonathan Karl, briefed the anchor George Stephanopoulos on the president’s latest digital sortie from the still-dark White House lawn.
So began Day 645 of a presidency that has made denigrating the news media one of its identifying features.
After mocking and insulting penned-in reporters on the campaign trail, Mr. Trump continued going after journalists the day after he was sworn in, over the size of his Inauguration Day crowd. Then came the “fake news,” “enemy of the people” negative branding campaign against those who would hold him to account.
Shortly before federal authorities arrested Cesar Sayoc Jr. — a registered Republican with a criminal record whose social media accounts were filled with right-wing conspiracy memes — the president was back on Twitter....

You ARE NOT supposed to notice things like that, prole!
Is it me (and I hope it is) or does Trump seem ‘’off his game’’ a bit recently?

Vive la difference.
Excerpt from within the article: “Now and then journalists will resort to the L-word, “lie,” as The New York Times has done on occasion. Other frequent targets of the president’s disdain, CNN and MSNBC, have debunked his claims with onscreen headlines and endless panel discussions.”
Now THAT’s some SERIOUS debunking isn’t it. WOW! THAT’s serious.
He’s 72 years old. How many people that age do you know that perform 100% all the time?
Words have meanings. Words spoken by Trump were not attacks. What muzzies did on 9/11 were attacks. The nyt should know something about the English language, but apparently it manipulates language for its ulterior purposes.
Re: NY Times. As Confucius said: For someone to humiliate you, you have to first humiliate yourself.
I guess it’s not Presidential to fight back.
Just be a figurehead like the others.
FUNYT
Sucks to be on the other end of a punch, doesn’t it Sleepy Chuck...
“...I guess it’s not Presidential to fight back....”
Those days are over.
This is war. And we finally have a President who knows it.
Thank God for that!
I’m an even worse 58 with one leg. I couldn’t keep up with him for an hour on a slow day.
Indeed.
And thank Trump for having the giant pair of iron ones that he has and kicking them in the ass.
Sorry to hear. But I wish I was fifty-eight again.
"Those who would hold him to account" are overpaid moronic inbreds who marry each other in the Swamp, but keep their original names to fool the proles in fly-over country...
It’s rather amazing how a single man can dismantle an entire industry and, in this case, a joy to behold.
