I guess now that he is the Prez-Elect no one can stop him [del]but himself[/del]. Personally, I don’t think non-vetted mind vomiting is something a person in his sensitive position should be doing. Most recent tweet? “Just had a very open and successful presidential election. Now professional protesters, incited by the media, are protesting. Very unfair!” Leaving aside the vexing question as to why one would have to “incite” professional protesters, there is the another problem with this tweet, and that would be a previous tweet from the 6th of November, 2012 concerning Obama’s reelection: “We can’t let this happen. We should march on Washington and stop this travesty. Our nation is totally divided!” The certainly sounds to me like Trump was trying to incite protesters. ---

Remember, there are three central precepts upon which Trump’s campaign, and indeed his entire sense of self-worth, are based; 1. Donald Trump is very rich 2. Donald Trump is very smart 3. Everybody loves Donald Trump It is therefore impossible for him to conceive of the idea that people would be protesting his election out of genuine dislike for him, because that would render #3 false. Therefore, he has to believe that the only reason anyone would protest him is because they’re being _paid_ to do so by the Haters and Losers, and they’d otherwise be throwing rose petals at his feet. Even in triumph, he has to feel like the victim to explain to himself why everyone isn’t as happy about him winning as he is. ---

Well, which Trump should I believe? I thought the whole system was rigged. But he followed the above tweet with one about loving that small groups of protestors have such great passion and we’re all going to come together. He can’t seem to make up his own mind. ---

Remember the nice tweets that followed his last outbursts that turned out to come from the management team that took his tweeting privileges away? I’m betting it just happened again-someone is apologize-posting for him. ---

I tend to believe what he blurts out reflexively. He’s saying what he means with no thought or attempt to filter. ---

Do those professional protesters have a union? Benefits? Since Trump won’t be able to bring jobs back to America, we need to put people to work. We can hire some professional protesters. Ooh! And let’s get people to work manufacturing outrage! He’s creating jobs already! ---

In Portland, apparently the protest was fairly peaceful until “Anarchists” showed up. Perhaps somebody is paying those fools to discredit all protests. Who might be doing that? Was Trump dropping a hint?
