Is he serious with this? I know he's a perpetual word salad. Why is the toughest guy in the room such a pussy about criticism

*dammit how do you embed tweets*

We should get a national leader version of Family Feud with Trump and Kim facing off. Who would host such a show? I vote for Stephen Colbert.:D

First I am guilty of this as well and as appalling as they are we and the media need stop over reacting to his tweets and blurbs. We need to watch what he and his admin does not says. CNN for example spent most of the day debating what he meant about a absurd remark he made in the WH. Meanwhile he and his admin are turning back environment regulations, personal freedoms, killing the middle class, destroying public education and leading us to war all with smiles on their faces.

Of course he's serious about it -- this is the same guy who wanted to collect personal information for everyone who visited an anti-Trump site, expand libel laws to punish anyone who criticizes him, and strip citizenship rights from people who burn the flag. He only supports free speech as long as it's his speech.

Thankfully, this is just him foaming at the mouth like he usually does; the Constitution will prevent him from forcing the media to give him equal time.

And what does he mean by equal time. They talk about him constantly. Does he think they should be fluffing him half the time?

Yeah that was rhetorical. It was more to highlight the underlying premise which is chilling if you think about it.
Oh I know. It's really crazy, literally. Dude quite obviously has a legitimate personality disorder. I truly does not "understand" his criticism. He honestly believes he is always right. That's why it's tough to really call him a liar. He clearly is lying, but he, honestly, doesn't believe he's lying.

I saw a remark somewhere that speculated he'd change his mind real quick after seeing what equal times does to his favorite shows (Fox & Friends, Hannity, etc.).

The guy knows how to distract. He's got it down to a fine art.

We both know the real thing he wants is 100% positive coverage 100% of the time.
