Have y’all seen it? Trump tweeted a video of him bashing CNN and it is his second most popular tweet of all time. Here is the video he tweeted.
The Fake News Media is outraged! How dare Trump fight back against their unrelenting attacks on him. CNN has been spouting lies over and over again and packaging them as news.
Meanwhile as CNN is crying about this, their parent company supported a Trump assassination play.
Remember Harry Truman threatening to punch a reporter in the nose for writing a column criticizing his daughter’s singing? Or BJ Clinton threatening to punch a reporter in the nose? Howza ’bout Obungler telling his minions to “punch back twice as hard”? That’s OK. They’re Dimocrats. Republicans are supposed to sit there and take it.
Many Republicans (losers) are telling Trump to quit tweeting. Screw them! Keep it up Donald. You are getting under the Fake News Media’s skin. It’s a beautiful sight watching a Republican actually fight. It happens so seldom.
Looking at this from a kinda nonstandard perspective, an oblique rather than head-on, left-right, right-wrong thing, you get a different insight.
First, consider that most of the talking heads in the MSM are not journalists but entertainers. And the people who decide how much time and how many words are given to what topic are just the writers and directors of that show.
O.K. That given, for the first time since Reagan, we have a guy in the Oval Office who knows the game because he’s been part of it. He fully and masterfully sees how to set them up to trip over their own hypocrisy.
All he has done is take their slobbering defense of his Shakespeare-in-the-Park symbolic assassination and hurl it back in their faces. The “journalists” want us to completely overlook the Griffin/Colbert/Scarborough/Name-Your-Own-Late-Night-Pundit exhortations to violence which led up to a leftist spraying a GOP baseball practice with small-arms fire. But in the same breath, they want us to excoriate one of their own who has outdone them at their own game (fake news in a fake milieu) because their lives are now in danger from rifle-totin Bible-quotin pickup-drivin rednecks.
Forget the “Pigs in a blanket, Fry like bacon” chants of the BLM and Antifa crowd, which the mainstream media consider no more dangerous to good order and discipline than Elmer Fudd’s stalking of Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck.
The left simply, and fervently, wants DJT out of the Oval Office and are willing to stir up mob violence to achieve that end. Trump knows that, so what he’s doing is exposing their insidious duplicity and manipulating them into hysterical hyperbole. He’s out-Heroding Herod, and I think it’s a masterful stroke.
He’s forced them into making it all about THEM as victims, and frankly I doubt they’ll get as much sympathy from the snowflakes as Trump will from his loyal base. He’s already plowed and disced and nourished the field, and now it’s just a matter of tossing out succulent little bits and pieces now and then to take root and grow like mushrooms in a basement filled with manure.
Now . . . having said all that, I think the time has come for DJT to hire someone, say Goot Ningritch or Mike Huckabee or even Dana Perino to sit as consigliere and edit his blurbs for maximum effect in the halls of power. He already has his base’s support, and he’ll never get the left’s, but he could score some points with moderates if he starts boxing instead of street fighting.
bocopro:
Right on!!
CNN is often called “Clinton News Network”. But, given its penchant for airing fake stories, we can start calling it “Crappy News(?) Network.”
I’m not sure this is a good thing, but I’m actually getting into the spirit of Trump’s satiric baiting of the media jackasses. I hope he keeps it up until we’re all either laughing together or killing each other, preferably (and I say this sincerely and prayerfully) the former.
Someone succinctly summarized that Trump’s supporters take him seriously but not literally, and his detractors take him literally but not seriously.
Humorist Scott Adams (of Dilbert fame) observed, “I have confirmed that 30% of the public can’t identify a joke without the help of a service animal.”
From what I am seeing and hearing, Trump has no intention of quitting any time soon. so i guess we will be hearing more of his Tweeting in the near future. So be it. The mainstream media has developed a very thin skin all of the sudden.
This has the left shifting double-edge razor blades. I LOVE it!
It’s tactical and the children step right in it every time. He works all day accomplishing one positive thing after another then takes a 2 minute Twitter break that hurls the MSM into a veritable tail spin of hysterics and calamity that exposes what they’ve been reduced to. Every Liberal now from Congressmen to your ditzy coworker are limited to bashing other people only.
It is indeed refreshing to see the smug smarmy liberal media elites off balance and robbed of the initiative. They’ve had it so easy for so long that they don’t know what to do, and they keep making it worse for themselves. And their self-important Hollywood comrades’ lame reactions reveal them for the know-nothing wimptards that they are too.
They can’t get over the fact – they lost! A few days ago I ran into a neighbor who was hysterical. She waved her hands in frustration and said “he has to be forced out of office!” I replied “so you’d prefer President Pence?” She looked at me with a bewildered stare and said “President Pence?” Who did she think would be president if Trump left office? We need to reinstate Civics classes.
Happy Fourth Y’all!
Yep! There are a lot of dumb libs who actually think that if Trump is forced out Crooked Cankles would become president. Yes, they are that dumb.
Denny, your right. There are many here in Illinois who want Trump out right now thinking Hillary will automatically step in and become president. They have forgotten how our government works, they are so blinded by hatred and anger of Trump. Unreal.

My new comeback: Is that true or did you hear it on CNN?
