"Our president is a fragile egomaniac": Philadelphia mayor slams Donald Trump after president takes back White House invitation to NFL champions

The mayor of Philadelphia has slammed Donald Trump as a 'fragile egomaniac afraid of throwing a party no-one wants to attend' after the president withdrew an invite to the NFL champions.

-snip-

"These are players who stand up for their causes they believe in and who contribute in meaningful ways to their community.

"They represent the diversity of our nation - a nation in which we are free to express our opinions.

"Disinviting them from the White House only proves that our President is not a true patriot but a fragile egomaniac obsessed with crowd size and afraid of the embarrassment of throwing a party to which no one wants to attend.

.... Everything, every event is taking on the mirror image of a White House Correspondents Dinner - where the star guest - the presi-Dunce - is too ashamed to attend - because the ridicule would bruise his fragile ego - hurt his feefees - and make him pout and cry. Butch it up snowflake... we thought you were a macho alpha male tough guy. Maybe we should call him - Princess trDump - and quit the chase of the hyper macho persona crap.

Last year he dis-invited the Golden State Warriors after most of them said that they weren't interested.

He is truly a fake President.

Hey @realDonaldTrump it’s one thing to be wrong on policy, but to take on my @Eagles is a whole new level.
You even make a championship team visiting the White House all about you. What is wrong with you? Seriously, what condition do you have?

For his teeny tiny fragile little ego. He doesn't want to be embarrassed so he cancels before the other party can! He's a sucky poo-poo head.

So they must be un-American to begin with.

But come on, inviting a sports team or not to the White House says zero about "patriotism."
