Internet ridicules Trumps narcissistic Christmas tweet: No family, no warmth, just a tiny fist and a treePresident-elect Donald Trump extended Merry Christmas wishes to his Twitter followers on Sunday morning with a proper Christmas tree emoji only to have detractors notice it wasnt the warmest of greetings.
Just Trump with a raised fist standing in front of a Christmas tree. No Trump kids, not a Trump grandkid to be seen, no Melania, not even Ivanka just The Donald.
Needless to say, he received a whole lot of non-holiday wishes in return from Twitter users who were less than thrilled to still find the lump of coal that is Trump in their stocking on Christmas morning.

@realDonaldTrump only Donald would send a Christmas card reminding us of our impending doom.

(115,746 posts)None of that peace on earth, goodwill towards men silliness. See, nothing conveys the sentiments of the season like a fat old guy (and not the jolly one in the red suit) photoshopped over a Christmas tree and raising a tiny clenched fist. He's not even smiling. Ho fucking ho ho.

His smallness as a human being is really obvious.

(111,278 posts)He really is a disgusting hog and only minimally because he's so unattractive. I'm afraid that in his case, it goes right down to the bone.

http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/city-official-apologizes-tree-cut-trump-rally-44284120
The mayor's chief of staff in Mobile, Alabama, is apologizing for his role in having a large tree cut down at a city park so it could be used as a prop during President-elect Donald Trump's recent "thank you" rally.
Colby Cooper said he became "overzealous" while trying to ensure that expectations of Trump's advance team were met.
Mobile residents raised questions almost immediately after the cedar tree at Public Safety Memorial Park was felled Friday. It was taken to Ladd-Peebles Stadium, placed in front of the scoreboard and decorated with Christmas ornaments to serve as a backdrop while Trump spoke at Saturday's rally.
In his apology, Cooper said that in the future he will be "more sensitive to the spectrum of concerns regarding trees."

(115,746 posts)SCENE: TRUMP'S OFFICE IN TRUMP TOWER
DT: Kellyanne, I think I should send out a Christmas greeting on Twitter.
KC: Sir, usually presidents don't do that until they're actually, you know, the president.
DT: I don't care. They need to be reminded that I'm the president-elect. People will be doing whatever they do on Christmas and not thinking about me, and that's not OK.
KC: Well, all right; why don't you stand in front of something seasonal and I'll snap a picture. Where's your Christmas tree?
DT: Why would I have one of those?
KC: Umm... How about in your apartment?
DT: Of course not. It would make our decor look common and tacky.
KC: Didn't your son want one?
DT: I think one of his nannies might have put one up in his rooms.
KC: Couldn't we use that?
DT: No. I think he's home, and if we go to his rooms he might want to talk to me or something. Once he even wanted to play catch with me - can you imagine? No, we'll have to find one somewhere else. But I'm not going outside; you know what the wind does to my hair.
KC: (sighing) I think I saw one down in the lobby.
LATER, IN THE TRUMP TOWER LOBBY:
KC: Just stand right over there and I'll take a picture. Maybe you could smile and wave?
DT: (smirks faintly and raises his right fist)
KC: Umm, don't you think a wave would look more, I don't know, festive?
DT: No. I want to look strong. Anyhow, there are some mean people who say things about my fingers. Sad. Losers. Make it quick now; I'm expecting a call from Vlad.
KC: (sighs and snaps photo) OK, there it is. It's ... perfect. I'll take care of it. Merry Christmas, sir.
DT: Huh?

(4,950 posts)Meet Adolf, who's lived most everywhere,
And rallied up in Nuremberg Square.
But Donny just prefers the sights.
A guy can see from Trump Tower Heights --
What a crazy pair!
But they're cousins,
Identical cousins all the way.
One pair of matching bookends,
Different as night and day.
Where Adolf adores a Straussian waltz,
Wiezen brew, a Wagner Operette
Our Donny loves to rock and roll,
A hot model makes him lose control --
What a wild duet!
Still, they're cousins,
Identical cousins and you'll find,
They laugh alike, they walk alike,
At times they even talk alike --
You can lose your mind,
When cousins are two of a kind.
