The latest flare-up of Buffoon Butthurt – [Trump whines](http://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-tweets-about-intelligence-and-wikileaks-julian-assange/) that it’s somehow “dishonest” to report his agreement with Julian Assange as if it implies agreement with Julian Assange. 😕 :dubious: ---

Is there is going to be an aide with the full time job of Trumpsplaining the Orange One’s tweets? “Uh, what Mr. Trump meant when he tweeted that he was going to “make a deal” with US bond-holders and offer them 10 cents on the dollar, was that of course, everyone can always count on the United States to fulfill all financial obligations to bond-holders.” ---

President Elect shares his thoughts on Twitter. Liberal outrage. Presidents shouldn’t be this open, they shouldn’t be telling the public what they think, or at least only on scripted TV chat shows. The public should not know these things. At least Trump is honest about his feelings. ---

Very, very honest. So honest we’ll be sick of honesting. He should be encouraged to share every single thought that runs through his brain. ---

I’m not American and most definitely lean conservative on many issues, and I think your president is a goddamn moron who demeans your entire country by acting like a snotty child while he is supposed to be in a serious position.

Somehow his tweets in the last 8 years managed not to sound like a megalomanic 3rd-grader. Because Barack Obama is an educated legal scholar and teacher who has spent virtually his entire professional life in public service. I’ve taken issue with some of his policy decisions and expansion of executive authority, but I don’t think there is any question that his motivation had been consistently to do what he believed was best for the nation. Trump, on the other hand, is essentially a Bond villian (megalomaniac ambitions, deep seated insecurities driving an obsessive need to “win” even if it requires baldly lying, and crafts stupidly unworkable plans that would likely achieve the opposite of his desired result. I bet he’d even cheat at bridge it he could be bothered to learn to play. Trump will do exactly what benefits Trump, period. Stranger ---
