> [@ThelmaLou](#): > > This isn’t an actual photograph, surely! I figure someone took a picture of a guy in a recliner and photoshopped Trump’s face on it. I’m not at my computer and can’t research at the moment. A friend of mine just called and said he was sure it was a real photograph of Trump in those circumstances. I say it’s the equivalent of a political cartoon, right? Yeah. I think you need to have a talk with your friend. Anyone who can look at that Newsweek cover and think it’s a real photo is easy pickin’s for the next Nigerian prince that comes a callin’. ---

He’s back! This morning he claimed that his base is bigger than ever. Maybe he’s talking about his immense ass. [QUOTE=The asshole in chief] The failing @nytimes, which has made every wrong prediction about me including my big election win (apologized), is totally inept! The Trump base is far bigger & stronger than ever before (despite some phony Fake News polling). Look at rallies in Penn, Iowa, Ohio……. …and West Virginia. The fact is the Fake News Russian collusion story, record Stock Market, border security, military strength, jobs…… … Supreme Court pick, economic enthusiasm, deregulation & so much more have driven the Trump base even closer together. Will never change! [/QUOTE] ---

> [@Crotalus](#): > > He’s back! This morning he claimed that his base is bigger than ever. Maybe he’s talking about his immense ass. …followed by a spittle-flecked Tweetstorm concerning Sen. Richard Blumenthal’s service record. An excerpt: [Quote=@realDonaldTrump] Never in U.S.history has anyone lied or defrauded voters like Senator Richard Blumenthal. He told stories about his Vietnam battles and… …conquests, how brave he was, and it was all a lie. He cried like a baby and begged for forgiveness like a child. Now he judges collusion? [/Quote] I was dimly aware that Blumenthal had been called out in the past for speeches in which people came away with the impression that he had served in Viet Nam (he hadn’t), but “told stories about his Vietnam battles”? “Cried like a baby” begging for forgiveness? Anyone got a factual backup for these accusations? ---

Anyone got a factual backup for these accusations? Blumenthal had several deferments. Eventually he went into the Reserves and **stayed stateside**. He did NOT go to Viet Nam, **but he claimed he did**. Trump benefited from four student deferments in college and one medical deferment (Trump later said that was for bone spurs in his heels), before being classified 4-F, unfit to serve. Trump **played baseball, tennis and squash during his college years**. The bottom line? They are both liars and fakes, and they deserve each other. ---

> [@Crotalus](#): > > He’s back! This morning he claimed that his base is bigger than ever. Maybe he’s talking about his immense ass. This distinction will be lost on Trump and his supporters, but the pedant in me feels it necessary to point out that analysis and predictions based on polls can be wrong (and many were, in the 2016 presidential election) a poll itself is neither right nor wrong. It just is. If Gallup calls 400 people and 62% say Trump is doing a terrible job, that’s just a statement of fact. It can’t be wrong. But Trump is mangling the two…the polls were wrong in 2016 and they’re wrong now. ---

> [@@realDonaldTrump](#): > > The Fake News Media will not talk about the importance of the United Nations Security Council’s 15-0 vote in favor of sanctions on N. Korea! To quote a much-beloved poster, Hahahahahahaha. In two minutes of Googling, I was able to turn up major articles on this subject from the New York Times, Washington Post, LA Times, Chicago Tribune, Baltimore Sun, CBS, NPR and the Atlantic, among others. Didn’t see anything from Fox News, however, which may be why Mr. Trump thinks no one is covering it. ---
