OMG, the Orange Don is tweeting about the Emmys

Threats of war with NK, a devastating earthquake in Mexico City, a Cat. 5 hurricane barreling toward Puerto Rico endangering the lives of 3.5 million U.S. citizens, and he's "saddened" by tv ratings?? Btw, the show was 2 nights ago, you moron!

@realDonaldTrump
I was saddened to see how bad the ratings were on the Emmys last night - the worst ever. Smartest people of them all are the "DEPLORABLES."

Deplorables (the smartest) would never be suckered by a con artist (trust me deplorables, please don't abandon me, illegal wiretapps ...).

Okie Dokie.

Colbert Wins Again: Trump Tries (and Fails) to Slam Emmys Ratings

The biggest Trump burns from the 2017 Emmy Awards (with clips)

With so many other truly important and heartbreaking issues that he could address and look 'presidential', he tweets yet another one of his, very UNpresidential tantrumps.

Damn but I miss Obama and having true class represent our country.

The difference is, the hummingbird knows what it's doing.
