> [@John\_Mace](#): > > Is there any reasonable possibility that the Trump/Sessions twitter war is being staged? I don’t really follow all these tweets that closely, but it just seems really odd that they would go at each other like that. You give Loser Donald too much credit. He’s mad because he thinks the AG’s job is to be his personal fixer, and Sessions just wants him to shut up about his petty vendettas and let him bring back Jim Crow in peace. ---

So, no twitter rant yet about what a horrible (and horribly disloyal) person John McCain was? Color me shocked that he’s been able to hold his [del]tongue[/del] thumbs this long. ---

He’s tweeted a heartfelt, boilerplate, completely generic and milquetoast note of sympathy, complete with an exclamation at the end, as any good sympathy note reads: “My deepest sympathies and respect go out to the family of Senator John McCain. Our hearts and prayers are with you!” But the kicker is his Instagram account where he posted the same sentiment but, of course, with a photo … of himself: [link](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dlf_XF5UcAAckLt.jpg:large) ---

I don’t believe for a minute that Trump actually wrote that. But I do believe he would insert a picture of himself. ---

Trump’s use of twitter just feeds into his narcissism. It allows him to see how many likes and retweets he gets. And the people on the receiving end are none too bright. I remember from shortly after the election the BBC was doing a series of interviews with his supporters in Pennsylvania, one dumb as a rock supporter said that she awoke each morning looking forward to his tweets “because he was talking directly to me.” > [@](#): > > [Narcissistic Personality Disorder: Symptoms, Causes, Help](https://www.helpguide.org/articles/mental-disorders/narcissistic-personality-disorder.htm) > Signs and symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder > > ``` > Grandiose sense of self-importance. ... > Lives in a fantasy world that supports their delusions of grandeur. ... > Needs constant praise and admiration. ... > Sense of entitlement. ... > Exploits others without guilt or shame. ... > Frequently demeans, intimidates, bullies, or belittles others. > > ``` ---

> [@Shoeless](#): > > I don’t believe for a minute that Trump actually wrote that. But I do believe he would insert a picture of himself. Whitehouse flunkie: “Mr. President, here’s the tweet we posted for you about McCain’s death.” Trump: “Hmm… It feels like it’s missing something.” flunkie: “We could add something in praise of the senator’s military service, or his years of public service in government.” Trump: “No, nothing like that… It needs more… me.” ---

Our very normal and emotionally healthy president is up at 5:30 this morning, Googling himself and getting mad at the results. > [@](#): > > Google search results for “Trump News” shows only the viewing/reporting of Fake New Media. In other words, they have it RIGGED, for me & others, so that almost all stories & news is BAD. Fake CNN is prominent. Republican/Conservative & Fair Media is shut out. Illegal? 96% of results on “Trump News” are from National Left-Wing Media, very dangerous. Google & others are suppressing voices of Conservatives and hiding information and news that is good. They are controlling what we can & cannot see. This is a very serious situation-will be addressed! ---

Maybe he should be mad at his staff for only telling him the good news about him. Of course, he should wonder why it only takes them 4 seconds to do that each morning. ---
