Donald Trump blasts NY Times after story about 'sputtering' campaign

[spanone]

The New York Times is painting a dire picture of the Trump campaign in a story titled "Inside the Failing Mission to Save Donald Trump From Himself."

And Trump is having none of it. The problem, he says, is ... The Times.

"The failing @nytimes has become a newspaper of fiction," he tweeted Saturday afternoon about two hours after the story went online. "Their stories about me always

quote non-existent unnamed sources. Very dishonest!"

Trump has repeatedly called The Times a "failing" paper in reference to its financial challenges. He routinely calls the media "dishonest."

1. "Sputtering" might be too kind

"Dead in the water" or "comatose" might be more to the point.

10. My sputtering is THE BEST! Itsth BEWTIFUL!!

No one sputters like me!

[grubbs]

2. Some people are saying Donald should know all about non existent unnamed sources. They are looking

Into it.

14. You forgot "Believe me folks"

Someone should make one of those magnet kits with all the words in Trump's vocabulary, about 100 at the most. I think that may be how he constructs his speeches, on a refrigerator. Actually there would have to be three or four of the same words, as he tends to repeat the same thing over and over again.

18. There's something going on.

3. Projection thy name is

Don the Con

[HipChick]

4. LOL! He will have to end up banning all media...

[malaise]

7. The media may ban him first

[spanone]

5. the smarmy-assed paul manafort is on cnn right now....it's all the media's fault

this fucker makes my skin crawl

[malaise]

6. That's partly true - they made

Don the Con. He should never have reached this far

[underpants]

9. Where is Katrina Pierson to lend her historical perspective?

Is this all Steve Guttenberg's fault for inventing moveable type?

"The Old Gray Lady"? See! Hillary runs the place.

[AllyCat]

13. He called her the old grey lady?

Isn't he older? I realize that's not the point, but seriously? From an orange guy that has had multiple hair colors?

22. I did notice in some tv coverage yesterday at the CT rally...

His hair is getting lighter and lighter. Don't know if it is from repeated bleaching or they are deliberately trying to tone down the orange...BRASSINESS....of his locks. But the color is definitely evolving. If you look at footage of him from the 90s his hair was much darker. So I am not sure why he thought going "blonde" would enhance his looks. But we do know how he loves to embellish anything he builds with lots of faux gold...aka...brass.. Maybe that was his plan but he ended up with orange?

8. Press bashing, one of the last refuges of a losing politician.

[malaise]

11. Apparently Don the Con and his kooks

believe he can make up all sorts of shit about anyone and no one must call him on it.

[PatSeg]

15. And that would be based on past experience

The media gave him a free pass for so long, while hanging on his every word. They created a monster who is now turning on them.

[malaise]

17. True - starting with that crap reality show

[PatSeg]

19. The spoiled rich kid

can throw a tantrum and get whatever he wants and then kick the "giver" in the shins and ask for more.

[GeorgeGist]

12. Many, many people are saying ...

Donald is an Idiot.

[Wounded Bear]

16. Well, it's not like the NYT has decades of background on Trump...

Obviously, they know nothing about the Real Donald Trump.

(did I really need that? )

[Avalux]

20. It's not as if Trumpsters read the Times. Words are too big.

Trumpsters believe that HE is the only one who speaks the truth (everyone else is wrong and lying) and HE is the only one who can save them. They believe it because of the authority he exudes, doesn't matter the bullshit that comes out of his mouth.

This man must be defeated and destroyed.
