Stories he doesn't want us to talk about.
Like the huge conflicts of interest stories, either NY Times or Washington Post or both are running.
Oh and yeah, I am sure it pisses him off that Hillary won the popular vote and by such a big margin. He probably is hoping the people he paid to rig the election covered their tracks.
I am sure he was positive Hillary won't seek a recount after his "It's rigged" rant and her going on the record as everyone should accept the results. He either forgot about other candidates or thought they would not seek a recount.
So in a way yesterdays and today's rants on twitter are probably partially about him being not happy about recounts and most certainly he is not happy about Hillary's sizable popular vote win.
But the true motive is bait and switch, divert and deceive.
It's a distraction ploy.
Don't be fooled.

It's important to be aware every time he throws out one of these tweet distractions, something real is going on somewhere in the background of his showmanship.
Absolutely true!
The press are fools.

(53,061 posts)my prediction is that he will eventually devolve into attacking Native Americans because
a) Their casinos hurt his/Adelsons biz
b) There are over 500 tribes so it is target rich.
c) The great American interior doesn't give a crap about NA.

(12 posts)Yup...he did this all through the year and the media let him get away with it..Democrats are painfully weak! Not one surrogate on Sunday morning aggressively defending the recount. That would not be the republicans...They would have been in court SCREAMING FRAUD in unison if ALL the exit polls had Trump ahead and he mysteriously loss. Now they are all flooding the news cycle trashing the recount while the Dems fearfully surrender to giving a disgraceful misogynistic man endorsed by KKK "a chance." Weak. Weak. Weak.
The media is also to blame for Trumps rise. They should be boycotted..especially Morning Joe.
But you better believe the Clinton campaign knows this was rigged.

big fish visiting the little ponds, and gobbling up the big fishies in them.

(28,290 posts)people deciding which bad news should take precedent. There's no distraction. Just bad news all over.
The conflict of interest were covered, timely, by Kurt Eichenwald. Rest of media was chasing Comey's bait at the time. So who's distracted? What am I supposed to do about the conflicts pf interest today? How can we ignore 🍊's own words, revealing his madness?
