The Boston Globe, which was sold to the the Failing New York Times for 1.3 BILLION DOLLARS (plus 800 million dollars in losses & investment), or 2.1 BILLION DOLLARS, was then sold by the Times for 1 DOLLAR. Now the Globe is in COLLUSION with other papers on free press. PROVE IT!

Does he not see that "Prove it!" means he is asking that his own claim be proved?

They should outline his blatant obstruction of justice, all of his ties to Russia, and his overt racism. It's proven.

That's some Trump logic for you, right there.
Besides, I thought collusion wasn't a crime. More Trump logic.
Oh, and by the way, cool story bro. I wonder if any parts of it are true.

It sounds like he's telling himself to PROVE IT! but I doubt if that's what he meant. It's jibberish, as usual.

Going off the deep end. Hard to say he is losing it because he never had it, but the pressure is getting to the orange idiot.

The Boston Globe is printing editorials from 300 media outlets around the country condemning Trump for calling them the enemy of the people. So what does Trump do? He attacks the Boston Globe. You don't need to be paying much attention to see how insecure and petty Trump is.

(43,049 posts)16. From wikipedia's Boston Globe entry...
The Boston Globe (sometimes abbreviated as The Globe) is an American daily newspaper founded and based in Boston, Massachusetts, since its creation by Charles H. Taylor in 1872. The newspaper has won a total of 26 Pulitzer Prizes as of 2016, and with a total paid circulation of 245,824 from September 2015 to August 2016,[3] it is the 25th most read newspaper in the United States. The Boston Globe is the oldest and largest daily newspaper in Boston.[4]
Founded in the later 19th century, the paper was mainly controlled by Irish Catholic interests before being sold to Charles H. Taylor and his family. After being privately held until 1973, it was sold to The New York Times in 1993 for $1.1 billion, making it one of the most expensive print purchases in U.S. history.[5] Historically, the newspaper has been noted as "one of the nations most prestigious papers,"[5] and was purchased in 2013 by Boston Red Sox and Liverpool F.C. owner John W. Henry for $70 million from The New York Times Company.

So, the Tangerine Bawbag is a little less wrong with this twit than usual, but he's still full of shit.
A particularly nasty shit it is, too.
