The Madman seems very concerned with his wife's health and the situation in the Middle East.

Just kidding.

He's going on a rant about fake news and how "leakers are traitors and cowards."

The so-called leaks coming out of the White House are a massive over exaggeration put out by the Fake News Media in order to make us look as bad as possible. With that being said, leakers are traitors and cowards, and we will find out who they are!

This dude cannot not fail on multiple levels.....husband, president, law abiding citizen, basic human being, etc.


ON EDIT:

Someone probably just told him it was bad form to be preoccupied with "fake news" and "leakers" while your wife is in the hospital, so he just threw out a "Oh yeah, I hope my wife whats-her-name, not Ivana or Marla, the other one, gets well soon" tweet for good measure.

2. "So-called" is used to indicate the speaker thinks something isn't what it is being called.

So, Trump is calling the leaks not leaks.

And that these leaks that are not actually leaks are a "massive exaggeration"

But he'll find out who the leakers of these leaks that aren't actually leaks are.

Alrighty then.

So, just to be clear...he's prioritizing his tweeting over his wife's health, no surprise there...but he's calling out the "Fake News" because they reported on these leaks and promises to treat leakers like traitors and cowards!!?? I'm confused, how can it be simultaneously "Fake News" and yet such a diabolical leak that it's "traitorous"??

His shit is so old...so stale...and it's so fucking draining!

Your stable genius ass hasn't been able to figure even one of them out by now? They are almost running out toward "Pebble Beach" screaming at the cameras. Didn't it dawn on any of that CRACKERjack staff of yours - The Best People- to plant a fake story inside with specific people and see if it gets out?

You have press lacked in there like Fox News and really wing nut operations, not one of them can find anything for you???

Nicole Wallace and her guests have just been discussing this on her show for the past 10 min. Perfect. And this comes right after they were discussing how Sean Hannity calls him every night and that is how the moron is able to keep his base. The guests said he "hate watches" MSNBC too. Then the moron tweets...interesting timing.

You either exaggerate or you don't.
How can you 'over' or 'under' exaggerate?

16. Wait! Is he saying his wife underwent surgery, and he wasn't at the hospital at the time?

I knew he was an ass, but geez. He can't even wait on his wife while she has a medical procedure?
