Wow, Trump can even trigger super-white anodyne guys like Scully into misbehavior. It’s his one talent.

ETTTD.
Tweet wasn’t even a big deal, he was attacked and legitimately and professionally had the right to query to see if he should respond officially to the shit the orange monkey and his followers threw at him.
Dude deserves a Medal Of Freedom though for the years of having some of the craziest mofos call into the show and be able to sit there with a straight poker-face. He was bound to crack.

Yeah, but he lied. If he hadn’t lied, he’d be fine.

Is “My Twitter account was hacked” the new “The dog ate my homework”?" I’m sure I’m far from the only person whose reaction to Twitter hacking claims is an eye roll.
Scully keeps having this hacking problem:

I question the judgement of anyone who’d rely on someone like The 'Mooch for advice. Even though Mooch has calculated that his current earning potential is maximized as a public Trump scold, I have a feeling his principles haven’t quite caught up.

Trump sucks so bad that a journalist tweeting to one of Trumps former Aides asking for advice on dealing with the POTUS is a bad thing.
Usually former aides And staff members are some of your biggest supporters and surrogates. But In Trump world, there is just as much a chance that the former Trump team member hates Trump now.

I am still very confused over why he felt the need to lie about that incredibly innocuous tweet, or why people were even humoring the idea that that tweet somehow proved he was horribly biased.

There have been questions about him since his brother worked for w Bush and was a Bush hack. Trump is so corrosiveand I just don’t know why anyone but his users have anything to do with him.
When my pup takes a dump it really stinks… Really.
It’s Chanel No. 5 compared to Trump. Why is he still around? Why is he a thing? This is all Robin Leach’s fault.
