But that's exactly why he was elected. Because he says shit like that.

@Jolly

I’m not sensitive to Trump hating the NYT in this case.

They’re down because the businesses who pay NYT for advertising can’t afford it anymore.

Maybe not something that’s appropriate to take pleasure in.

NYT aren’t the only victims of that exact same malady.

Trump knows why their business is down. And after all the battering he's taken from them, I still think he's like a dog rolling in a fresh cowpie, enjoying himself to the fullest.

which makes him a huge asshole.

[xenon]

If he knows - then I think even more poorly of him.

I think Trump would agree with you.I think he can absolutely be an asshole.

It's what the job required.

George W. Busy was a gentleman. He was constantly savaged in the MSM. Trump can give as good as he gets.

I think I shall enjoy his second term, should be win one. I know I will enjoy the judges.

Another example.

Let’s say the President hates Bob.

Let’s even say he’s justified in hating Bob.

Bob gets massacred/injured in a shooting/accident/whatever that kills multiple people.

Probably not appropriate to say “hey Bob - I see you couldn’t defend yourself there and survive.

Keep in mind that didn't happen.

You just made it up.

I would have loved to see W fight back. But he never did. He stuck to the values he grew up with that the press and their political allies had long abandoned.

Why, oh why, is President Trump wasting his time tweeting about stuff like that.

Is this really the type of person who should be having the most powerful position in the world???

(Yes, I know most politicians probably act like this in private, but doing it in public does not do him any favors or make him look better)

Well, so. LOL

I guess I just dont get it.

I am embarrassed for him when he does stuff like that. I dont know if he truly thinks people are impressed or understands that many people are laughing at him, not with him. It just does not seem appropriate for a world leader to do.

Yes, world leaders are usually above that sort of thing.

It is nice to find a world leader who knows his place.

He is not above that sort of thing.

In fact he is not above much at all.

In that way he might remind you of Mother Theresa.
