“I know it is not at all ‘Presidential’ to hit back at the Corrupt Media, or people who work for the Corrupt Media, "

That’s not admission or self-awareness! He’s still attacking the strawman. He’s using “presidential” the same way he uses “political correctness”: something he doesn’t give a shit about.

Convoluted, contradictory, unapologetic bull shit.

Because, of course, news is a branch of show business. Got it.

If there was even a scintilla of “self-awareness” there, I missed it.

An Ass said something asinine about being an Ass. Nothing to see here folks, it’s a day that ends in “y”.

Trump tweeted. “Problem is, if you don’t hit back, people believe the Fake News is true.”

No Donnie, your problem is that most people continue to believe most of what the Media reports, at those who are educated and aware. You, Donnie, are truly “fake news” and a fake “president.”

I know it’s not “Presidential” to conspire with enemy nations, but I’m going to do it anyway.

I know it’s not “Presidential” to openly enrich myself using the powers of my office, but I can, so I will.

What he tweeted isn’t self-awareness, an apology, or anything close to contrition. It’s self-serving bullshit masquerading as insight. A version of “I’m sorry if you’re offended.”

Whenever Donnie speaks, no one should be offended. Rather, we should all be profoundly embarrassed for our country that we have such an ignorant, blowhard ass as our “president.”

“Little @DonnyDeutsch, whose show, like his previous shoebiz tries, is a disaster, has been saying that I had been a friend of his,” Trump tweeted. “This is false.”

In all fairness, Trump has never been a friend to anyone.

He wouldn’t even know how.

yeah, he doesn’t know donnie deutsch. That would explain why he spent his saturday night watching Deutsch’s show. I mean, isn’t that what every important person does on Saturday night at 8 PM?

He doesn’t care about being presidential. He thinks that is boring. He has a whole schtick he was doing for his rally crowds about that.

From the start, the “entertainment” part of what we now call “news” has been HIS.

To get some perspective, I’ve looked at some real journalists of years past to confirm this.

In his same breath he foments hatred and attacks the media, but listen to him squeal like a poked fat orange pig when he thinks his or his ilk’s 1st Amendment rights are threatened.

Imagine closing his Twitter account. Twitter is not the news media. Unless I am wrong they do not have to give him a platform.

This will never happen, and while the world is perversely entertained by his daily bullsh*t, wouldn’t it be fun to watch him in distress if it happened for just one day?

Trumpet would be muted.

His Twitter Feed as a matter of Presidential Record is going to show how hollow and corrupt intent he is, in his own words. No help needed.

It was like the called third strike fastball that Sandy Koufax threw by Mickey Mantle in the 1963 World Series. He told the Ump “That sounded kind of outside.”
