This comment is pretty funny:
mister president sir! someone’s posted a video that’s been altered to make it look like you’re an erratic and thin-skinned buffoon who can’t help but make a goldarned fool of himself. oh wait, the video hasn’t been altered. oh wait, you posted it yourself
Trump: “Waaaa! Reporters are being mean to me!”
What a childish snowflake.
Trump says two Washington Post reporters shouldn’t be allowed at the White House
President Donald Trump on Saturday took aim at two Washington Post reporters, saying they “shouldn’t even be allowed” at the White House following a story critical of the administration’s record.
“The Washington Post’s @PhilipRucker (Mr. Off the Record) & @AshleyRParker , two nasty lightweight reporters, shouldn’t even be allowed on the grounds of the White House because their reporting is so DISGUSTING & FAKE,” the president tweeted at 7:09 a.m.
The tweet linked to an op-ed by White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham and Deputy Press Secretary Hogan Gidley rebutting a Washington Post story published earlier this week that highlighted the president’s missteps amid the administration’s policy stumbles over the summer. But the White House op-ed inaccurately claimed the Washington Post didn’t report stories that it actually did cover.
…
Trump this week has continued to level attacks on the media over the economy, climate and the presidential primary coverage amid the ongoing imbroglio over the president’s hurricane comment.
“DISGUSTING & FAKE”? More psychological projection from an incompetent Trump–a disgusting person and fake business success.
The Washington Post story:
Trump’s lost summer: Aides claim victory, but others see incompetence and intolerance
What followed was what some Trump advisers and allies characterize as a lost summer defined by self-inflicted controversies and squandered opportunities. Trump leveled racist attacks against four congresswomen of color dubbed “the Squad.” He derided the majority-black city of Baltimore as “rat and rodent infested.” His anti-immigrant rhetoric was echoed in a missive that authorities believe a mass shooting suspect posted. His visits to Dayton, Ohio, and El Paso after the gun massacres in those cities served to divide rather than heal.
Trump’s economy also began to falter, with the markets ping-ponging based on the president’s erratic behavior. His trade war with China grew more acrimonious. His whipsaw diplomacy at the Group of Seven summit left allies uncertain about American leadership. The president returned from his visit to France in a sour mood, frustrated by what he felt was unfairly negative news coverage of his trip.
And this story was before the hurricane and the narrow escape of Alabama.
The truth hurts and Trump can’t face it, so he invents this alternative reality where he’s always right and successful.
Most of this Rick Wilson article is behind a paywall, but the opening paragraphs are an instant classic:
KIM JONG DON
Donald Trump Enters the Eccentric Dictator Phase of His Presidency Laws? Elections? In the Dear Leader universe, these are mere echoes of the weak, corrupt past. And the facts are whatever he says they are.
As we enter Day Six of Sharpiegate, it’s tempting to dismiss it as just another week of our shitty, Trumpian New Normal. “Alabama would have been washed into the sea without my psychic intervention! CNN is evil! Fox is full of apostates! Debra Messing bad! Wall good!”
Sure, that bellowing you hear from the Oval Office may sound like the rantings of a kooky slowcoach accidental president of limited cognitive abilities. You could ascribe it to his obsessions and twitching, reflexive rages over even the slightest correction or disagreement as an act. We could blame it all on whatever slurry of toupee worms, mental illness, creeping dementia, tertiary syphilis, scurvy, and windmill cancer occupies his wee noggin, but it’s so much more, and it’s so much worse.
“Toupee worms”, “wee noggin”. Haha! I’m stealing.
I’ve looked all over the net. How are the hurricane victims of Alabama doing?
They’re gonna make it. They’re getting tons of support from people in Bowling Green. I understand the government of Nambia is sending an aid package.

The devastation is so bad for the rescue crews that the closer they get, the further they fall. Some get pushed over the edge, in no time at all.

Of course, it’s crap. Consider the source. The only question is from which fuck up he’s trying to steer the “fake media” away. Maybe he’s tired of hearing about Alabama.
He probably should stop bringing it up.

There are some rather…odd comments from the magats/trumpeters/fucking deluded jackasses there about why it’s such a great thing. And there are some mighty fine comements from people acquainted with reality. My favorite is this one:
My immediate thought on reading that was:

Yes, total crap. Everyone knows they had a non-refundable reservation at the Trump International Hotel in D.C.
I wish the media was reporting Fake News. It would make all those reports that refer to Donald Trump as the President a lot easier to take.
The Taliban at Camp Fucking David??
