........This doesn't even make any sense. (The Madman's latest Twiturgitation.)

"It is being reported by virtually everyone, and is a fact, that the media pile on against me is the worst in American political history!"

So, he's complaining that the media....is reporting....that it is treating him unfairly? (The media that has given him more coverage than any other presidential candidate in history, by the way.)

I don't even......

unfairly well.

take a moment to do consider what does in democrats.

we have candidates whose races, indeed, entire political careers, were destroyed because of looking silly in a tank, sighing, or screaming at a rally.

hillary has been raked over the coals for handling email exactly the same as her two predecessors at state, and having *received* a few emails that weren't even properly marked as classified.


can you imagine how the media would react if hillary had done even a tiny fraction of the crap trump has done? made fun of a reporter, never mind one with an illness? implied that entire ethnicities were largely rapists? refused to release her taxes? charged the dnc exorbitant rent on one of her own properties?

hillary's career would be over in a flash.


the media is being extraordinarily kind to trump.

Overwhelm your opponent with outrageous behavior, so they can't call you out on any single one incident or statement. They'll just grow numb after a while.

press conference where he said the press wouldn't be able to kick him around any more (after he lost the California gubernatorial race to Pat Brown).

Call a whaaambulance for the self-pitying ignoramus.

President Obama should have gone to Louisiana days ago, instead of golfing. Too little, too late!

Donald J. Trump ?@realDonaldTrump 2h2 hours ago
Hillary Clinton strongly stated that there was "absolutely no connection" between her private work and that of The State Department. LIE!
