Trump going after the NY Times this morning in nonsensical attack

[oberliner]

His tweet:

The failing @nytimes does major FAKE NEWS China story saying "Mr.Xi has not spoken to Mr. Trump since Nov.14." We spoke at length yesterday!

Incidentally, the NY Times article says that they spoke yesterday (for the first time since Nov 14).

1. I'm starting to lose confidence in Trump. What if it turns out he's an idiotic blowhard? nt

10. There, there. Just give him a chance.

[hr][font color="blue"][center]Donald Trump's scorecard:
Muslim ban = failed. Yemen raid = failed. Approval ratings = failed.
Mexican wall = failed. Economic utopia = failed. Grade point average = 0.[/center][/font][hr]

2. Well, to be fair...

Trump's reading comprehension is probably on an elementary level

[HipChick]

3. He should be addressing why Pence and Flynn lied..

[Docreed2003]

7. Every last member of his cabinet are liars...

I'd be shocked if they ever actually owned a single lie!

4. It's weird even for him

I mean the article itself is about the Thursday phone call.

5. Then he didn't read the article

he just reads headlines, and he didn't understand this one.

8. This is the first sentence of the article

President Trump told President Xi Jinping of China on Thursday evening that the United States would honor the “One China” policy, reversing his earlier expressions of doubt about the longtime diplomatic understanding and removing a major source of tension between the United States and China since shortly after he was elected.

And then here is the later sentence that he seems to be freaking out about:

The concession was clearly designed to put an end to an extended chill in the relationship between China and the United States. Mr. Xi, stung by Mr. Trump’s unorthodox telephone call with the president of Taiwan in December and his subsequent assertion that the United States might no longer abide by the One China policy, had not spoken to Mr. Trump since Nov. 14, the week after he was elected.

6. Oh I know...I was being sarcastic

9. Meltdown

This orange clown won't last 6 months

12. Praying

you are correct. As bad as Pence is, he at least presents a sane facade.

[mindfulNJ]

11. he has obvious problems

with reading comprehension...and...sanity.

14. Discrepancy in NYT editions prompts Trump rebuke

A discrepancy between versions of a New York Times story published in the print edition of the newspaper and on its website prompted President Donald Trump to once again lash out at one of his favorite media targets.

Makes a little more sense now I guess.
