President Donald Trump threw a hissy fit on Twitter Thursday evening because he’s not being portrayed as a hero for starting a trade war with China.
While watching Fox Business, he saw host Charles Payne interview Michael Pillsbury, who complained about Trump’s critics and claimed that they should be regarding Trump as a “hero” for starting a trade war with China that has been disastrous to American farmers, especially soybean farmers.
Well, that praise caught Trump’s attention, so he immediately repeated it on Twitter and made sure to put the word “hero” in all caps.
Michael Pillsbury interviewed by @cvpayne: “They have the motive of making the President look bad – instead of President Trump being portrayed as a HERO. The first President to take China on, it’s 20 years overdue….

….President Trump deserves a lot of credit, but again, you have the anti-Trump people who are not going to give him a lot of credit.”

Again, Trump has not done anything heroic in his entire life. He’s a coward who dodged the draft five times during the Vietnam War and his decision to start a trade war with China has caused irrevocable harm to the United States economy, especially since he also started trade wars with Canada, Mexico and the European Union at the same time.
Twitter users blasted Trump for whining about not being considered a hero.
The thing about heroes is that they don’t consider themselves heroes. #NarcissistinChief

Dude! Have you been following the stock market today? Your tremendous tarrifs are tanking our economy! My 401 doesn’t think you are a Hero!

Dude, a president who thinks he should be seen as a hero is no longer a president.

What a fragile, insecure person you are, that you have to tweet almost by the hour some sycophant’s praise. I just play online backgammon to feel better about myself.

@SenJohnMcCain was a HERO. Donald Trump is a divider who will NEVER be considered a hero or even an ok person. https://t.co/dHahh6qLJl

No one has to work to make 45 look bad. He does that all by himself. Thinking of him as a hero is absolutely laughable.

A hero draft dodger? Somewhat of a contradiction, no?

Looking bad on your own is your strong suit.

How about Vietnam Marine veteran Robert Mueller with Bronze star for combat, Purple Heart, two Navy and Marine Corps commendation medals versus a draft dodging apprentice TV show host?

Our praise, just like your wealth, are things you have not justly earned. Make no mistake, you are not the HERO of this story…You are the villain.

What’s truly infuriating is that this isn’t the first time Trump has complained about not being hailed as a hero.
On New Year’s Eve, Trump claimed that he should be considered a hero because of his decision to surrender in Syria while abandoning our allies while ISIS is still active in the region.
If anybody but Donald Trump did what I did in Syria, which was an ISIS loaded mess when I became President, they would be a national hero. ISIS is mostly gone, we’re slowly sending our troops back home to be with their families, while at the same time fighting ISIS remnants……

Seriously, Trump’s narcissism apparently knows no bounds.
