That’s a good point. He hates rich people, because they know he is a fake.
If I point out his lack of business acumen, it can be easily pointed out that I do not have a multibillion dollar empire, which for some reason means that I have no room to judge.
If someone who is a fiscal peer to him makes criticisms, they can not be so easily dismissed.
Remember when addled old farts watched Fox News and started ranting on Facebook or in their local bar? They were so easily ignored. Ah, the good ol’ days. Thanks Obama.
And the barber shop.
One of the reasons I sport long hair these days is because the barber that I have gone to since I was a kid is very conservative. Didn’t bother me all that much when I was a republican, and during the bush years, even he didn’t have all that much to say, but I stopped going during the Obama years, as he felt having a captive audience was a great time to talk about all the evils of that kenyan.
I thought barber shops were just fronts for selling drugs. 
That would explain some things.
It means the post office doesn’t charge enough. Which is true, at least for things like First Class mail, but has nothing to do with that the post office charges Amazon (since Amazon is not shipping letters to people).
Well, I can break down individual words and fragments of the sentence in that tweet. Just as a whole, it seems like gibberish. 
Worse, by (at best) hemming him in or (at worst) removing him from office, the investigation threatens to undercut his usefulness to his Kremlin-connected creditors (I suspect he’s already heard some warnings about his failure to get sanctions lifted), leading to possible consequences up to and including a closer personal encounter with the upper end of the periodic table.
Hey, credit where credit is due, this is a measured and well thought out statement on Iran:
“Many reports of peaceful protests by Iranian citizens fed up with regime’s corruption & its squandering of the nation’s wealth to fund terrorism abroad. Iranian govt should respect their people’s rights, including right to express themselves. The world is watching!”
Sounds familiar though.
“Reports of peaceful protests by Iranian citizens fed up with the regime’s corruption and its squandering of the nation’s wealth to fund terrorism abroad. The Iranian government should respect their people’s rights including their right to express themselves. The world is watching”
Now if only he believed that for American citizens…
There are many fine ayatollahs on both sides…
I don’t think Trump hates billionaires so much as he wants to be billionaire Jesus. If somebody else makes billions without his blessing, he gets all jealous and cries about how unfair it is.
Again, how did somebody so ignorant and so thin-skinned make his own billions? To paraphrase Carla from Cheers, he attracts people like flies, he treats people like flies, and his brain is in his fly.
The old fashioned way. Inheritance.
From this morning’s Twitblather:
No, you use social media because it allows you to post patent bullshit without challenge.
Actually, there is another way to fight what you claim, without foundation, is a dishonest “press”: with factual rebuttal. You should try it sometime. Also, what’s up with the random “quotation marks”?
Name any three widely reported stories of the past year that were “pure fiction”, and for which the fictional claims are still being reported as fact by a majority of media outlets.
I think his feud with Bezos stems from the Bezos ownership of the Washington Post. I wouldn’t be surprised if he continues to tweet crap designed to try to hurt Amazons stock price - then one of Trumps henchmen will call Bezos and promise to stop if Bezos will tell WaPo to lay off the Russia story.
Because that’s the kind of strong arm tactic that worked for him in business.
I have said all along that even if, and it’s a BIG if, there’s nothing to the Russia story that trump can not afford someone with subpoena power looking into his business.
I get the impression that his negotiating style is based on his being used to dealing with people who are just as committed to ethical behavior and fair dealing as he is — i.e., not at all.
Trump started out the New Year by twittertacking Pakistan:
“The United States has foolishly given Pakistan more than 33 billion dollars in aid over the last 15 years, and they have given us nothing but lies & deceit, thinking of our leaders as fools. They give safe haven to the terrorists we hunt in Afghanistan, with little help. No more!”
The Pakistan Defence Ministry responded:
“Pak as anti-terror ally has given free to US: land & air communication, military bases & intel cooperation that decimated Al-Qaeda over last 16yrs, but they have given us nothing but invective & mistrust. They overlook cross-border safe havens of terrorists who murder Pakistanis.”

Clearly, Pakistan should build a wall and get Afghanistan to pay for it.
Can they build it around DC? And make it a dome? An impenetrable dome?
