As you knew he would, [Trump had an opinion about Roseanne Barr.](http://money.cnn.com/2018/05/30/media/president-trump-roseanne-barr-bob-iger/index.html)

And to the surprise of absolutely no one, he (a) had nothing about to say about the racist content of Barr’s tweets; but (b) somehow twisted the story to make himself out to be the co-aggrieved party.

Well, of course. He can find three personal grievances, two proofs of “Democrat” conspiracy, and evidence of “liberal hypocrisy” in a dial tone.

I’m sorry he’s the president of the US, does that count as an apology?

Trump wants equal treatment. Okay, the next time he says something stupid and offensive, he gets fired.

Somebody tell Pence to start warming up.

I hope when the iDJiT finally fires the AG, Sessions will say something like, “Look, you dumb fuck, I didn’t _plan_ on recusing. Them damn Democrat senators got a whiff of what I did for you with Kislyak _AFTER I WAS SWORN IN._”

There’s so much conflicting information out there - largely due to him and his cronies - that it is nearly impossible to keep up.

After a large number of Philadelphia Eagles declines to show up to his party, Donald cancelled it to avoid being publicly embarrassed:

**Fox News apologizes for implying Eagles players were kneeling in protest. They were praying.**

Just making sure it’s bolded and a headline.

“Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz called out Fox News for using photos of players kneeling in pregame prayer during a segment about the team’s canceled Super Bowl visit to the White House, calling it “propaganda.” The network later apologized for showing the footage, which was unrelated to the NFL’s national anthem demonstrations, during its report on the rescinded visit.”

But not the Trumpistan; doubling down:

“The White House, meanwhile, issued a statement further explaining how and why the visit was called off. The statement said that “the great majority of [Eagles] players” were not planning to attend the scheduled White House celebration and that “ **the vast majority of the Eagles team decided to abandon their fans**.””

Bold and underline mine.
