Donald Trump tweets about ‘fake, loser’ CNN as the GOP works to gut Obamacare

Donald Trump speaks at US Air Force Base Yokota

Donald Trump hasn’t tweeted about Roy Moore this week. I think by now, we all know how Trump likes to take his time to respond to anything involving white dudes being violent, or white dudes being sexual predators. If Roy Moore was a Democrat, or not white, or Muslim, then Trump’s Twitter feed would be full of at least 20 tweets about Moore. But really, what can Trump even say about Moore? Trump has the same questionable and awful history of harassing and assaulting women, it’s just that most of Trump’s victims were older than 18 (but not all of his victims, mind you). Anyway, here are some of this week’s Trump tweets. First, he and his crack team of budget video editors put together this video of his Asian tour. This is awful and tacky.

Yesterday, Trump also tweeted this just hours after another mass shooting in California which left four people dead and a dozen injured. Trump got confused and he tweeted about the Texas shooting two weekends ago, because who can keep up with all the mass shootings, amirite?

During one of his press briefings in Asia, Trump told some lies about how he rarely watches TV and that he gets most of his information from written reports. Nevermind the fact that he constantly tweets sh-t he saw on Fox News. Nevermind this tweet this morning:

LOSER! This is the president of the United States. Please don’t ever lose sight of how awful all of this is. Never lose sight of how Trump is a belligerent toddler flinging his poop at the wall and getting everyone to pay attention to him while Congress is probably going to vote for a “tax bill” that would increase taxes on the middle class, give huge tax cuts to billionaires and OH RIGHT completely defund the Obamacare individual mandate.

And finally, if you’ve watched Fox News at any point in the past month, you probably noticed that they’re obsessed with Hillary Clinton and her “misdeeds.” They’ve been trying to make “Uranium One” the new “but her emails.” Guess what Fox News anchor Shep Smith did yesterday? He dared to tell the truth:

    I don’t know, does he want a cookie or something? For telling the truth, finally, after years?

    He still works there, takes money from liars.

    • Juls says:

      No cookie for him. You’re right, he’s still a right wing, faux news lackey. That being said, I would love to see the looks on Faux news viewers’ faces when they saw this. I picture them with their slack jaws on the floor, throwing things at the TV and screaming in a fit of rage. Wonder if Fox will reprimand Shep Smith?

    • happyoften says:

      Every now and then I think he wakes up and goes to work believing he works for msnbc.

      Then he gets the memo from his boss, saying “Knock it OFF!”

    • jwoolman says:

      He’s been doing quite a bit of truth telling for quite a while.

      Some people just choose to work within the belly of the beast, hoping to be a good influence in a bad situation. I’m glad he’s there. He reaches people who would not otherwise be reached.

    • Whatever says:

      I’m no fan of this embarrassing excuse for a president, but I sure will be happy if the individual mandate goes away. For the first time in my and my husband’s lives, we will not have health insurance starting January 1st. We are self-employed and must purchase on the exchange. But we are finally priced out. We don’t have more than $1,000 a month for premiums. On top of that, we would have almost $15,000 in deductibles between the two of us. We simply cannot afford it. Our income is slightly too high for subsidies , and very much too low to actually afford this. And for being unable to afford it, we will be fined for not buying it? That is not the America I know. We fall into a horrible Obamacare loophole. We are a family of four. But we don’t buy the health insurance for my two step kids. So we are counted as a family of two, even though we have the expenses (and a hefty child support duty) of a family of four. This is why we can’t afford it anymore. It. Is. Devastating. We both have master’s degrees, work hard everyday, and…oh, the irony…own a physical therapy practice.

    Trump will tweet that Shep is a fake news loser in 3….2…1….

  3. mia girl says:

    It disgusts me that that this man is our president. It’s a f**king tragedy.

    • Mermaid says:

      The Dotard got triggered BIGLY when Kim called him old. This is so beyond embarrassing.

    • Bev says:

      My thoughts exactly. My dream is to see him and all of his cronies perp walked outmf the whitehouse in handcuffs for all thr world to see the evil criminal he, his evil spawn and the rest are.

  4. Beth says:

    How can a 71 year old be forced to watch this? Did they strap him into a high chair and put him in front of the TV?

    • swak says:

      And tape his eyes open (or toothpick them open) so he can’t close his eyes or fall asleep.

    • Megan says:

      He means there is no international Fox channel and he can’t understand the accents on BBC World so he had to watch CNN International. Hearing real news must have been very disorienting.

  5. swak says:

    Can someone explain how dropping the insurance mandate is going to save this country money? I’ve tried to get it into my thick head and it doesn’t compute. The penalty they take out is taken directly from the amount you get back (or I assume that it is added to the amount owed) if I read it correctly. So that would be money not coming into the gov’t but taken away from the gov’t. Or is there more to this than meets the eye? Also, has he even made a statement about the massive earthquake in Iraq & Iran?

    • Lightpurple says:

      No statement on Iran earthquake. No statement on Moore. No statement on CA shooting rampage.

      The attack on the ACA makes no sense other than just another attempt to erase Obama & bankrupt & kill as many middle class & working class & poverty level Americans as they can.

      • 5thHouse says:

        “The attack on the ACA makes no sense other than just another attempt to erase Obama & bankrupt & kill as many middle class & working class & poverty level Americans as they can. ”

        Yeah, sounds right to me.

      • Nicole says:

        Basically. The tax plan and gutting of ACA will legit kill the middle class for good.

      • Whatever says:

        Obamacare has already killed this working class family. Read my lengthy comment above.

    • vauvert says:

      No statement on the Yemen famine and massive disaster caused by the US backed Saudi blockade. This should be front page news, millions starving – but somehow Saudi $$$ aided by Trump makes it disappear. I wonder how many billion$ Kushner took in blood money on his latest unpublicized jaunt to SA? How much does a human life cost nowadays?

  6. Megan says:

    Trump also tweeted about his 46% approval rating (which is fake news since his actual approval rating is 38%). So sad that he thinks more than half of the country disapproving of his job as president is a success. Loser!

  7. Lightpurple says:

    He was FORCED to watch CNN. FORCED!!! Melania tied him to a chair, taped his eyelids open, and streamed CNN from her phone straight into his retinas. It’s her idea of foreplay.

    • jwoolman says:

      He must be watching CNN regularly. He is attracted to anything that mentions his name and also to his own image and the sound of his own voice. Not exaggerating. He is mesmerized watching his own interviews again and again.

      Anyway, he knows what is on CNN and isn’t a reader. So he’s watching.

  8. happyoften says:

    “Fake, Loser”

    First man to tweet his own epitaph.

  9. Mabs A'Mabbin says:

    The only thing in that report that impresses me is that you’re able to stomach Fox News for any amount of time. Whether you’re laughing, gleaning or rollin’ eyes, kudos.

  10. MMC says:

    Anyone else hear “Beetlejuice” 3x in their head whenever he says “Fake news?” It’s like he is expecting CNN to explode one of these days if he says it often/fast enough.

  11. robyn says:

    This lying liar, Trump, and his fake news channel Fox are trying to get rid of CNN as well as democracy and health care for all.

    Speaking of health care … there is an under reported story that states high blood pressure measurements recently changed in the US. Whereas 120 to 140 was considered normal, now anything over 120 is considered high, which is good news for the big drug companies. Did the drug companies have something to do with this change? Quietly weird changes are happening under Trump that assure some favored companies make even more money. Even in Russia, I heard Russians are now being hired as security to watch over the American embassy there. Talk about the fox guarding the hen house … just like fake Fox News looking after Trump’s propaganda machine instead of the truth.

    • swak says:

      Look for more changes like that as Trump has nominated former big Pharma guy, Alex Azar, for HHS.

    • MMC says:

      There was also a NYT story yesterday about the rapidfire approving of federal judges, many that were left unfilled during the last year or two of Obama’s term, and the decades long impact that will have. Misquoting, but the author noted that will be the most lasting impact and legacy of Trump, could be something like 50% of judges potentially, even if he gets impeached tomorrow.

    • Swordspoint says:

      The new recommendations are based on results from the SPRINT trial, which showed that intensive BP control to SBP <120 mm Hg results in significant cardiovascular benefit in high-risk patients with hypertension compared with routine BP control to <140 mm Hg.

      Will drug companies make more money with these tighter targets? Yes. Will adopting these targets save lives? Also yes.

  12. DanielleOne says:

    At this point I’m simply convinced that his was a fraud victory and he is a fake president. The election was rigged and I’m hoping the investigation will not be for show only. This con-man needs to be outed.

    • Beth says:

      All through the campaign, he kept saying the election was rigged. That’s probably the only honest thing he said that whole time, but the dumbass Trumpsters didn’t realize or care that it was rigged for him to win and not for Hillary

  13. Beth says:

    Does Trump think all of his surrogates on CNN, like Paris Dennard, Ben Ferguson,Jason Miller, and Jack Kingston who are there spinning stories and defending everything about him every day, are fake news and losers too? Maybe Trump is having his diaper changed, looking for his rattle, or eating his cake and ice cream when these morons are speaking

  14. Pandy says:

    Losers , haters. The man thinks like a teenager ffs. Gotta give Shep some credit for trying to get real.

  15. wood dragon says:

    Did you catch Maddow last night?
    She covered the no bid contract awarded to a Putin crony for security at OUR embassy in Russia. The foxes will be in control of the chicken coop.

    • Louisa says:

      Yes! And I’m shocked that isn’t getting more coverage today. I know I shouldn’t be surprised by anything this administration does anymore but I was really shocked at this. It’s like they are not even hiding their relationship with Putin anymore and testing to see how far they can get away with.

  16. Shambles says:

    “First, he and his crack team of budget video editors put together this video of his Asian tour. This is awful and tacky.“

    When I read this, I had a mental image of the kid from School of Rock who tells Jack Black “you’re tacky and I hate you.” Thanks for that, in what is otherwise a sea of endless torment and misery. I mean… to read all of this together, complied in one post… What the ever-loving, actual, g*d damned f*ck, you guys?!?! Donald Trump is the f*cking president of the United f*cking States, and it’s 100 times worse than we thought it would be. *screams* *screams* *screams*

    In the words of the great John Lovett, “I can’t believe this asshole is president.” *deep breath.* Okay. Now that that’s over, I’m going to write to Johnny Isakson and Paul Ryan and ask them when they’re going to pledge their votes to expel Roy Moore from the senate, if (Goddess forbid) he’s elected. I may also have to include the part about how I think they’re worthless trash, because they condemned Moore (AFTER all the “homosexuality should be illegal” stuff, I mean it took literal pedophelia for them to get here), but they lined up behind Trump. I may have to let them know that they’ve made it clear~ fetuses are a priority, they kinda care about underaged girls, but grown women are lying subhumans with no bodily autonomy. Trash.

    I won’t let this be the kind of world I live in. F*ck this. Impeach or the 25th. I’ll write up a protest sign that says so after Bob Mueller concludes his investigation and it becomes inescapably clear that there are traitors running our country.

  17. Angela82 says:

    I am shocked Shep Smith is still on Faux News. He is the only borderline sane one. Not sure how he manages to stay employed.

    • Kitten says:

      I think he’s just there as a token leftie so when Faux is accused of peddling fake news they can point to him and say “no we’re not, we have this dude”.

  18. why? says:

    Every time the Dotard opens his mouth, he lies. He says that he hasn’t watched CNN in months, but when he is up at 2 am or 4 am, he is tweeting about something that he could have only known had he been watching CNN. This is the state of country. How are the GOP not embarrassed by the fact that this is the man they are supporting and standing behind?

  19. IlsaLund says:

    He keeps ranting about his triiumphant Asian tour and telling lies about how Obama wasn’t even allowed to land in the Philippines while President (Obama cancelled his visit). The fool actually believes all the pomp and circumstance and the rolling out of the red carpet signified how much he was loved and adored by each country. Most analysts say that the Asian countries figured out how to stroke his ego and flatter him and basically laughed behind his back. He’s an idiotic tool who’s destroying everything he touches.

  20. Lisa says:

    Fuck off, Donald.

  21. why? says:

    The GOP and Dotard are destabilizing us. You have to wonder just how long it’s going to take to reverse the damage that they are doing. It was just reported that the head of CFPB just stepped down. The GOP have been putting a lot of pressure on the CFPB, which protects consumers from the abuses of banks, loan companies, and businesses.

  22. Betsy says:

    At the end of this mess, let’s bring back the Fairness Doctrine. That way, if Fox “News” wants to exist in their present incarnation (with some exceptions – go, Shep, go! That’s the way you inform people!), they’ll have to rebrand as the Republican Opinion Channel.

  23. Peeking in says:

    I HATE THIS MAN!!! GOOD LORD, I HATE THIS MAN!!!
    I have never in my life felt such disdain for another human being. This is coming from me, someone who survived repeated childhood sexual abuse. This is the perspective I’m coming from. Trump has got to go. Any means necessary.
