45 criticizes "Fake News outlets" for covering his "I am the chosen one" remark.

Link to tweet

When I looked up to the sky and jokingly said “I am the chosen one,” at a press conference two days ago, referring to taking on Trade with China, little did I realize that the media would claim that I had a “Messiah complex.” They knew I was kidding, being sarcastic, and just....

....having fun. I was smiling as I looked up and around. The MANY reporters with me were smiling also. They knew the TRUTH...And yet when I saw the reporting, CNN, MSNBC and other Fake News outlets covered it as serious news & me thinking of myself as the Messiah. No more trust!

1. There should be an IQ test to use Twitter, if so he would not be allowed on.

2. "jokingly" my ass ... Wasn't a bit of sarcasm or not about him

[CatMor]

3. Oh come on trump ..

I think everyone knew what you were implying by looking up in the sky and using the chosen one phrase. Every asinine thing you say is followed up the next day with "I was kidding" when you hear all the criticisms. Your stupid schtick is getting so old and boring.

4. He doesn't seem to joke and he doesn't laugh.

When he said he was "joking" about having more than two terms, I think he was floating a trial balloon. Possibly the "chosen one" was more of the same trial balloon.

5. Yes, just another "joke"

Along the line of other jokes such as background checks, a middle-class tax cut, low-cost universal health care, infrastructure, NK denuclearization , and paying off the national debt, What comes next, Armageddon jokes?

15. Don't give him any ideas

6. And...

Looking up at the sky was just part of the gag. Yeah...right.

Seeing how he is the source of "fake news" which seemed to really have its advent with his fake presidency, (note: correlation is not necessarily causation...that's my joke!) they seem to go together like tiny hands in itty-bitty gloves.

Fake news is a dick-tater's power tool in this respect all questions about the veracity of certain media and sources aside. Who does he really think he is kidding there...well, other than his base of minions?

7. MF45 wasn't even close to ironic.

[IcyPeas]

8. we thought the whole buying Greenland was a joke at first...

turns out it wasn't.

How the hell can we tell when he is joking (lying)?

[Initech]

13. That man has no sense of humor whatsoever.

I'd really question whether or not he was joking.

[Wellstone ruled]

9. Once again,Trump dug himself into a

pit and now he is trying to dig his way out. Going to have to send Dumb Donnie a care package of new Ame's Shovels.

10. When has Trump ever joked about anything?

He quoted that far right white supremacist scumbag, how are we supposed to interpret that?

[hlthe2b]

11. Too literate for him to have written. Like several of his tweets, somone did it for him.

[icymist]

16. LOL! You got a point there!

[world wide wally]

12. If that is your idea of humor, I have a set of chattering false teeth that will make you split a gut

[Haggis for Breakfast]

14. "No more trust"

Some of us have NEVER trusted you or anything that came out of your mouth.

[Sneederbunk]

17. We got it by now. We are not to believe anything you say

[elocs]

18. Yeah, Trump was being sarcastic but then he is always so subtle about how he feels

that we just couldn't tell.

I wonder, is he being sarcastic or joking when he feels the need to remind us of how great he thinks he is?

19. " So unfair! They quote what I said! Sad!"
