Trump is going on Twitter rants right now

CNN, Maureen Dowd, Robert Gates, etc. Obviously not going to link it, but it is on his Twitter.

I would say he is still extremely unhappy about yesterday's coverage.

From his Twitter, no links:

.@CNN just doesn't get it, and that's why their ratings are so low - and getting worse. Boring anti-Trump panelists, mostly losers in life!

I never met former Defense Secretary Robert Gates. He knows nothing about me. But look at the results under his guidance - a total disaster!

Crazy Maureen Dowd, the wacky columnist for the failing @nytimes, pretends she knows me well--wrong!

Wacky @NYTimesDowd, who hardly knows me, makes up things that I never said for her boring interviews and column. A neurotic dope!

Crooked Hillary wants to take your 2nd Amendment rights away. Will guns be taken from her heavily armed Secret Service detail? Maybe not!

when he's the one who won't allow guns at his rallies. No one was allowed to bring guns into the Republican National Convention, either. Who's the hypocrite?!

And your analysis of Dowd is spot on. She's a female media member who just seems to be, for whatever incomprehensible reason, insanely jealous of Hillary Clinton. See also Mrs. Greenspan.

yesterday - http://www.cnn.com/videos/tv/2016/09/16/maureen-dowd-new-york-times-columnist-politics-trump-clinton-the-lead.cnn

I had to look up what the heck she did to set him off. The last time she wrote a column in the NYT was on August 27th so that wasn't it. All her tweets were of her various appearances hawking her book so since he was whining about CNN, I checked that appearance out (from the above link).

And given her penchant for false equivalencies, apparently her book is entirely that.... meaning that he isn't glorified in the manner that he would want.

31. Dowd on Trump rally violence & former Dowd assistant ...

Sep 2016

This morning in interview, M Dowd was quoted as saying Trump told her that violence at rallies added excitement. Also, a former assistant to Dowd, Alex Thompson (now at Vice News), was arrested outside trump rally (while awaiting feedback on his press access request) in Houston early afternoon today. Don't know for a fact that the latter is related, but timing is interesting, at least.

He does it in a very particular way. Weak, neurotic, nervous, ugly...he never met a disgusting stereotype he didn't play to the hilt.

Trump hates criticism and the appearance of criticism. He hates it and he becomes irrational. He's too vain to contain himself. If the media has taken a turn and is now less naive, Trump will go mad. And he needs to go mad NOW rather than later.

Personal attacks on every single person who points out any of Trump's multitude of issues.

His supporters don't care about the issues. Character assassination is as deep as they want to get.

Could twitter users bombard him with "Liar, Liar, pants on fire" every time he sends out a tweet? Would that break the internet?
