Just when you think you’ve heard it all, he ups the ante.
Donald and CNN have a frosty relationship to say the least, and perhaps the greatest example of that is his tweet from back in July.
You know, the one where the sitting president of the United States of America pumped out a meme of him wrestling someone with a CNN logo superimposed over their face.
Wow, I feel dirty just typing that out:

Never forget.
That relationship shows no signs of thawing, because over the past week or so Donnie D has gone hard at the news network.
First there was this, which got a pretty decent clapback from CNN International:
They sure do have a point.
CNN are actually guilty of spending far too much time discussing POTUS, with panels banging on about his every move, but there has never been a president like this before.
Also, I’m sure their ratings shoot through the roof when they do and business is business.
Anyway, back to the matter at hand.
Yesterday evening our time, Donald came at CNN again. Please imagine him banging this one out, lying in bed and gorging himself, whilst wearing his bathrobe:
The mind boggles.
A fake news trophy – will it be like The Apprentice, or will it be a beauty pageant where you creep around the dressing rooms hoping to see someone in a state of undress?
I would watch a Fake News Trophy, and maybe if they made it happen Donald would spend less time antagonising other countries with serious weapons at their disposal.
Some sage words from Salon:
Overall, Trump’s Twitter account is not a Rosetta Stone for the American public many of us in the press make it out to be. It doesn’t say anything of import. It doesn’t reveal his or his administration’s inner workings.
Instead, it paints a picture of a man screaming into the void, one who has all the hallmarks of a “malignant narcissist who is also on the bipolar spectrum,” according to John Gartner. Gartner isn’t the only psychologist who seems to think that there are problems with Trump’s mental state. More and more are speaking out, and, more and more, it’s becoming important to listen to them.
Until we litigate that out, here’s a tip to keep your sanity with Trump in charge in the meantime: Pay attention to his actions, not his words.
What actions, playing golf? Here’s a fun site to take a gander at – trumpgolfcount.com:
Why run such a site? “I’m going to be working for you. I’m not going to have time to go play golf.” – Donald J. Trump, August, 2016.
