I'm pretty sure Donald Trump is just tweeting to himself at this point.

He's probably tweeting in front of a mirror a la Travis Bickle. It's just absolutely bizarre behavior. It's like he's in his room talking out loud to himself, "I'm not crazy! They're the ones who are crazy!"

Just look at today's tweets. His Twitter Tantrum today is absolutely surreal, even by his own standards:

Certain Republicans who have lost to me would rather save face by fighting me than see the U.S.Supreme Court get proper appointments. Sad!

"Stay on message" is the chant. I always do - trade, jobs, military, vets, 2nd A, repeal Ocare, borders, etc - but media misrepresents!

I have always been the same person-remain true to self.The media wants me to change but it would be very dishonest to supporters to do so!

It is not "freedom of the press" when newspapers and others are allowed to say and write whatever they want even if it is completely false!

I am not only fighting Crooked Hillary, I am fighting the dishonest and corrupt media and her government protection process. People get it!




Crooked Hillary Clinton is being protected by the media. She is not a talented person or politician. The dishonest media refuses to expose!

My rallies are not covered properly by the media. They never discuss the real message and never show crowd size or enthusiasm.

If the disgusting and corrupt media covered me honestly and didn't put false meaning into the words I say, I would be beating Hillary by 20%

The failing @nytimes, which never spoke to me, keeps saying that I am saying to advisers that I will change. False, I am who I am-never said

The failing @nytimes talks about anonymous sources and meetings that never happened. Their reporting is fiction. The media protects Hillary!

If you are feeling lonely and abandoned. You will always have your iphone. A don't worry tomorrow when you make your next appearance every one will be talking about you again. Just remember not to chase away the news media. They are the only ones who really listens and understands you.

Had I seen this post just 2 months ago I would have been certain that it was fake and somebody posted it without knowing that.

Now, this kind of irrational, paranoid delusion is hardly newsworthy. He is a sick, sad and potentially very dangerous man.
