I know it wasn’t presidential, but what did you think?
According to the New York Post, that’s what Donald Trump asked White House staffers after lambasting Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough earlier this week in a truly absurd two-tweet tantrum that triggered a furious backlash from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle.
“He wanted to get people’s reactions and sense what the fallout might be,” a source close to Trump told the Post, which goes on to note that while some staffers praised the tweets, “others kept their heads down.”
Well, bright and early on Saturday morning, Trump served notice that he is by no means considering abstaining from social media, branding Brzezinski “dumb as a rock” and effectively accusing multiple states of conspiring against him by “hiding” evidence of massive voter fraud (note: either i) it still doesn’t occur to him that he won the election, ii) he can’t let the fact that he lost the popular vote go, or more likely, iii) he’s laying the groundwork to rig the next election).
As it turns out, Trump wasn’t done. America, he decided, needed another dose of “covfefe” on Saturday.
Mr. President, preach:
So a couple of things there. First, he’s added “fraudulent” to “fake” when describing the media which takes us one more step down the road towards authoritarian rule as this is just another attempt to perpetuate the notion that the free press is the “enemy of the people.”
Second, note that because everyone (including, and especially, Republicans) seems to be in agreement that nothing about his use of Twitter can be described as even remotely “presidential,” he’s decided to redefine what the term “presidential” means. Everyone is right, Trump now says. He’s not “presidential.” He’s “modern day presidential.”
Trump, one might say, is “grabbing modernity by the pussy.” And squeezing. Hard. “When you’re President they let you do it.”
And just to prove how “modern” a President he truly is, he wants you to know that he knows how to use the “pinned tweet” feature…
What else is there to say?…
someone needs to LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP!

Not only is this maniac dangerous he is absolutely without a doubt, nuts. His delusion is real and almost everyone with any sense knows it including wimps like Ryan, Mcconnell, and most of the republican hierarchy. The final story when written will show the republicans to be the unethical hypocrites that they have been for the last 25-30 years. History will not be kind as this party of so many good and great citizens from our past that have stood tall for our country, will be shamed now and forever. All for a few more dollars taken from people needing their help and compassion not their disdain and contempt. How proud they must be as they betray the same voters who have helped their power grabs only to be kicked to the side as the “real death panels” of profit take their lives. There will be “no RAPTURE for you”, (said like ‘no soup for you’) because the “baby jesus will smite your evil a**”. Amen………..
We can say the Whitehouse is being remodeled into a big locker room.
