Maybe Trump will say that Jeff Bezos is manipulating content in the Washington Post against him?

President Trump, confronting perhaps the most ominous economic signs of his time in office, has unleashed what is by now a familiar response: lashing out at what he believes is a conspiracy of forces arrayed against him.

He has insisted that his own handpicked Federal Reserve chair, Jerome H. Powell, is intentionally acting against him. He has said other countries, including allies, are working to hurt American economic interests. And he has accused the news media of trying to create a recession.

“The Fake News Media is doing everything they can to crash the economy because they think that will be bad for me and my re-election,” Mr. Trump tweeted last week. “The problem they have is that the economy is way too strong and we will soon be winning big on Trade, and everyone knows that, including China!”

Mr. Trump has repeated the claims in private discussions with aides and allies, insisting that his critics are trying to take away what he sees as his calling card for re-election. Mr. Trump has been agitated in discussions of the economy, and by the news media’s reporting of warnings of a possible recession. He has said forces that do not want him to win have been overstating the damage his trade war has caused, according to people who have spoken with him. And several aides agree with him that the news media is overplaying the economic fears, adding to his feeling of being justified, people close to the president said.

as a narcissist, he can't admit that he did anything wrong. His failures are always because of that evil conspiracy against him.

11. To the bunkers!

Pretty soon, the only way Rump will be seen by his adoring millions is by TV messages broadcast from the Freedom Bunker, where Rump and his loyal cabinet and relatives have locked themselves to protect the republic from the forces of eeeeeeevil.

Meanwhile, in the outside world, hundreds of cement trucks from around the world are assembling to pour their loads in front of the access doors to ensure his safety.
