Donald Trump Is Very Upset That The Media And American People Are Mocking Him

Donald Trump’s incoming White House press secretary Sean Spicer is whining that Trump is not getting the respect that he deserves. It is clear that the president-elect and his team are very upset about a perceived lack of respect from the media and the American people.
In an interview with The Hill, Spicer moaned about Trump not getting the respect that he deserves from the press, “There’s some positive aspects here and there, but largely it still continues to not treat him with the respect that he deserves. I think for a lot of folks inside the beltway, and inside pundit-world, they don’t fully appreciate the understanding that he has of where the American people are.

They continue to mock him in ways, when it frankly just shows the lack of understanding of that they have of where the American people are and what they think.”

Spicer’s latest comments come one week after he complained to ABC’s This Week about Trump being mocked, “Everything he does right now, he gets — he speaks for the head of Sprint, gets 5,000 jobs moved from abroad. And everyone starts to mock him. Oh, those jobs were already announced. They weren’t. The sales jobs have been a previous announce. These jobs were coming from abroad to America. And instead of trying to mock him or undermine him, it’s time that people started to give him credit for actually getting things done.”

There has been very little mocking of Trump in the media. In terms of television, the bulk of the coverage has been soft on the president-elect. When Trump gets mocked, it is for his vain, petty, and thin-skinned habit of lying about things big and small.

And it has to be earned anew every day. Authoritarians of all stripes have problems dealing with this simple reality - that's why you often hear them whining that the masses should "respect the office".

So, yeah, we're giving Trump the respect he deserves.

Maybe "mock" isn't as good a word for him as "blame."

This is a tiny person with tiny hands who has no understanding of what he just stepped in!

Respect is earned not given.

Asinine tweets, disregard for established protocols, racism, misogyny, on and on and on.....

He shows no respect for us, why the discharge from an elephants anus should we respect him?

to fucking bad again HE WILL NEVER BE MY PRESIDENT.

He has some deep mental issues and needs help. SICK SICK MAN.

WHAT DOESN"T HE GET IT. HE JUST THINKS ABOUT DONALD. Just go back to the tower please.

The American people were conned and played big time.
And if he ever thinks about taking any revenge on us...think twice.................
Why is he moaning about the media they are on their knees for him right they aren't telling the truth to the American people. He is taking away free speech and he's a fucking liar.

No, I guess they didn't.

Trump came to fame with his birther nonsense and expects to be treated with respect.

They're gonna be disappointed a lot in the months to follow.

It's going to be a bumpy 4 years.

We should lead by his example and show him the same amount of respect and deference he showed President Obama.

Maybe somebody could explain how his insistence on how Obama wasn't born in the US was much the same.

Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental disorder in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for admiration and a lack of empathy for others. But behind this mask of ultraconfidence lies a fragile self-esteem that's vulnerable to the slightest criticism.

he's chosen a crazy profession for someone who's strangely behaved, thin-skinned, and low-intelligence. I could list other attributes that he has that are also counter-indicative of said profession.
