(5 posts)Notice that Trump only said that in relation to his wife's plagiarism flap. She must have been enraged, and frankly, I'm surprised that he even tried to smooth it over with her, because it had to do with someone other than himself.

(4,451 posts)It was not about him when he said that. Smh, he's gross.

Got a pic you find acceptable?

(6,017 posts)Wait...was that one aimed at me? :-p
Words matter - something Trump doesn't seem to realize, but you do. Seriously, thank you.
SunSeeker
(51,734 posts)I totally agree. Language shapes thought. That is why it is mightier than the sword.
Siwsan
(26,298 posts)If he is, I have to wonder if they are anything more than the daily headlines. Somehow I doubt he bothers to read any that don't contain his name.

(2,322 posts)(Exodus 3:14). Trump does confuse himself with god. The vengeful jealous one who likes to create commandments about worshiping him and only him.

Native
(5,943 posts)Since Trump essentially declared war on the media last night, I'm hoping this stays in the headlines and keeps growing, but my cynical side is convinced it will all blow over in a day or two.

(43,340 posts)when he is not on top, the greatest, the best, first, winning, etc.
Constant paranoia and cynical rants that blame others are evidence
of chronic defense mechanisms
It prevents him from changing anything.

SDJay
(1,089 posts)Media outlets that are criticizing this clown are failing, then why by the Yammering Yam's own words are they influencing the polls so much?
He really is a man-baby. His shit fits don't even make sense.

(270 posts)How long before we have Trump Media.
Once this human tire fire burns out I'm sure he will form his own Media company.
Could this be an endgame?
Food for thought....

colsohlibgal
(5,275 posts)He often comes across as someone from a psychiatric ward....and the crazy right are a large part of his support.
After he loses badly he may really go off the deep end.
Native
(5,943 posts)in some of the articles I've read where they've actually interviewed some of his supporters, this doesn't seem to be a concern for them, and it's because they think it's no biggee since we'd obviously win any nuclear war Donald started. CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS IS WHAT THEY ACTUALLY THINK?

Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump
The failing @nytimes talks about anonymous sources and meetings that never happened. Their reporting is fiction. The media protects Hillary!
