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.

Wait...was that one aimed at me? :-p

Words matter - something Trump doesn't seem to realize, but you do. Seriously, thank you.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

32. TRUMP Media: The endgame

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....

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.

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?

OMG he actually tweeted that!

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