Oh fuck.. you can't make that shite up. I think trumpee doth protest too much.

As far as what the other reporters did after he called Jim Acosta "Fake News".. shame on them enabling dump's behavior and Bravo for Shep Smith who called them out later on foxscrews, no less.

"Remember his campaign twitter storms against The New York Times and the blacklisting of the likes of The Washington Post from covering his campaign events? How he had led his rally crowds in jeering at reporters, who he branded as "the lowest form of life?"

trumpee meet petard.. I don't think he's so freaking "clever"

Thank you, Tanuki
