He received eight percent of the vote. That is less than any major party candidate in history when his opponent was white. He can't handle inconvenient facts.

It is obviously a reaction to the NYT article saying he didn't understand the implications of placing Bannon on the NSC. What they say is true... although he attacks the Times regularly, he still craves their approval like a NY socialite looking for a picture of himself.

The WaPo helped save us from Nixon, its up to the NYT to keep exposing Trump for who he really is. Their role is significant.

He attacks the press with being fake news. He does read the Times accrding to what I have heard.

If he wasn't briefed, he is not calling the shots. If after not being briefed he still allowed Bannon in is security council he still is not calling the shots.

If he thinks he saw thousands of Musims cheering 9/11, thinks he saw 1.5 million in DC in the sparse mall and in the empty bleachers along the parade route, or believes millions of undocumented immigrants are on voter registration rolls, we must respect those pronouncements as HIS truth and not lies.

Media should have asked if that logic doesn't imply Trump is delusional

I understand that people at the WH have a hard time
getting him away from the tv.

He watches Bill O'Reilly and Joe Scarborough, and who
know what else.

Thus, the whole world for him is made up of hate and alternative
facts.
