Donald Trump explodes on Twitter after another alleged Fox News snub

Real-estate magnate Donald Trump's feud with Fox News is apparently back on again.

The Republican presidential front-runner had two seemingly pleasant Fox News interviews on Monday.

But after "The O'Reilly Factor" aired that evening, Trump fired off a tweetstorm about how unfairly he thought the network was treating him.

Trump also said he had a hard time watching Fox News, blasted host Megyn Kelly's "terrible show" as "the worst," and asked O'Reilly why he kept bringing boring "Trump haters" on his show

Screw the whole lot of them, Trump, Fox, O'Reilly. A pox on all their houses.

I will say, though, that Trump's repeated call back on Megyn Kelly is just plain bizarre. I honestly think it's because regardless of her flaws as a journalist, Kelly's an attractive woman, and because this one particular attractive woman didn't lay down and genuflect at his feet and worship and adore him as he expected her to do so, he feels the need to bash and antagonize her at ever possible moment. It's the ultimate sour grapes type moment, much like a guy verbally attacks a woman as being ugly after she rejects him on a date.

Maybe she rejected him or they had an affair that ended badly. We all know trump is a revengeful person, scorned lovers act that way.

I know about this.I grew up with some of this.And married into it.

This particular form of male behavior emerges in 2nd grade, about age 7.
In American boys raised by mothers of Scottish descent they are often both the center of the universe
(Ronnnie Raygun) AND the target for abuse. They have Great Pressure on them growing up. They are rebellious. They grow up with Mama problems and wimmen problems. He had a German father who probably also expected success in his son. So they grow up bullied.They are mean to girls.Poor Dears. Donald would have been a GREAT Heavy Metal Musician. Although not close to Lemmy.

With a stable family and wife they sometimes outgrow it by age 60. Having said this... well we all know how that goes. Donald is always presents as a pissed off teenager.

Also at Donald's age and weight he must be very very tired and going on fumes. When old guys go on fumes they get grumpy. Nasty. They are burned out.
Then there is the unspoken past substance abuse. Which can lead to Diabetic Depression. Donald is too worn out so he is bellows.

The Donald is either a very bad hammy actor trying to give it his all, OR he is a Boob.Or both. It is painful to watch him. He emits total exhaustion. He must be in deep to someone to have to keep going.Playing the role.He working himself to death.

Bernie on the other hand is full of authentic fire. He could run circles around the Donald.

But then maybe they need a tired overweight bellower for all the tired over weight bellowers out there. I just wish he would quit and go fishing and chill. He is an exhausted actor playing a role that is getting beyond him. He looks like a heart attack waiting to happen.

Which is exactly why he projects so much at women with energy and stamina. All the bellowing in the world cannot change this. But it sure sells in the hinterlands.

trump can not be seen as an outsider if he is all cozy with fox

fox can been seen as "independent" by pretending to be objective


trump is a veteran of reality tv with his apprentice and other stuff. he knows how to create a narrative

they will soap opera it out as long as it plays well with the base

we are being played for fools
