Apparently, President Donald Trump woke up in one of his moods Monday morning, attacking the news media for daring to report on the utter chaos in his administration.
Three tweets were fired off by Trump first thing this morning:
With all of the success that our Country is having, including the just released jobs numbers which are off the charts, the Fake News & totally dishonest Media concerning me and my presidency has never been worse. Many have become crazed lunatics who have given up on the TRUTH!…
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 7, 2019
…The Fake News will knowingly lie and demean in order make the tremendous success of the Trump Administration, and me, look as bad as possible. They use non-existent sources & write stories that are total fiction. Our Country is doing so well, yet this is a sad day in America!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 7, 2019
….The Fake News Media in our Country is the real Opposition Party. It is truly the Enemy of the People! We must bring honesty back to journalism and reporting!

Clearly, Trump doesn’t realize both the blatant hypocrisy and incredible irony of him daring to refer to anyone as a crazed lunatic. After all, he’s the one who tweets gibberish at two in the morning (remember “covfefe”?) and talks in half-formed sentences that wander all over the place and never arrive at any destination.
Trump’s angry ranting was met with consternation on social media, where he was reminded that his tweets only serve to make him look more unhinged than we ever suspected:
You are not permitted to use the word “truth.”

The only “crazed lunatic who’s given up on the truth” is YOU…

Well, you’re half right…every day you remain President is a sad day in America. Oh and FYI, you don’t need any help from the media to make your administration look as bad as possible. I can assure you you’re doing an amazing job on that front all on your own.

Uh oh. Attacking the media means something good is about to happen. Is caving in the wall funding or Mueller indictments?

Truth is your greatest enemy. It’s why you’re losing.

Meanwhile, nearly a million federal employees remain without their pay and the ability to pay their bills or provide for their families.
