If you're wondering about trumps outlandish tweets...

[shraby]

Trump’s latest Twitter outrage comes on the heels of the New York Times’ deep investigation into his business conflicts around the world as he prepares to take office.

A full story about his dealings, holdings and conflicts.

1. He does tend to have these twit storms when he gets nervous about bad press.

7. He is like a cornered animal

whenever the truth starts to surface.

2. now if only he would call a presser and start that snorting deal

and the press will ignore what is right in front of their $$$ faces.

3. He and those who were in league

with this stolen election, they are afraid of being found out before the electoral college votes. I hope they are found to be guilty of election fraud and put in prison, all assets seized. The twitstorm is proof enough for me that there's something to be found out and it won't be looking good for the dumpster fire... so he starts making unfounded claims and trying to deflect. He's not secure in his "victory" and so is trying to do what any guilty and spoiled seven year old would do to try and not be blamed by whatever outlandish means that might work.

4. "Big league, bigly."

13. No wonder he keeps losing his shirt in real estate

Park Place and Boardwalk SUCK to own - they're expensive as hell and they're easy to pass over so you don't collect a hell of a lot of rent. If you want to win EVERY game of Monopoly you play, buy the yellow and green monopolies and put four houses on each one. The yellows and greens are easy to land on, and putting four houses on each one absorbs three-quarters of the houses in the box.

6. As I keep saying

Dead cat... to get the conversation onto something else.

8. Sheesh

Why are we getting this story now and not a year ago? For a year the media played along and collected the ad revenue from sponsoring a circus.

Nobody is on the side of truth-in-advertising----it doesn't pay as well as bullshit.

9. Tweets are always his way of distracting us from the real issues.

He's tweeted about the recount, not because he thinks Russia didn't do a good job hiding their handiwork, but because he thinks they did and is trying to goad us down that street. Of course, I'm hoping he's just being a bitch and we can truly out the hacking and prove he stole the race or that it was stolen in his name. He doesn't want people focusing on him paying $25 million to settle a fraud case that he says he'd win, but then says the $25 million limits his damage? He doesn't want us focusing on his international conflicts with his business, because that's where he's really vulnerable if the repugs cared on bit about the law or honesty or trustworthiness or even this country. Their utter refusal to hold him accountable just shows they are treasonous too, only caring about personal power and $$ for themselves and the people paying them - the uber rich.

10. The print media has continually been reporting on his ill-begotten gains

literally for decades (notably the NY press - NYT, NY Daily News, NY Mag, New Yorker & other print/former print like Newsweek) including through the primaries and general election season, but the TV gasbags refuse to do the same. And Joe Sixpack surely isn't reading the NYT, so it becomes a sadly fruitless endeavor.

11. I think it's a mistake to attribute too much/any rationale to his behavior.

There's little 'reasonable' about what he does.

Coping with Chaos in the White House

"'A few days ago, I wrote a post for my Facebook friends about my personal experience with narcissistic personality disorder and how I view the president elect as a result. Unexpectedly, the post traveled widely, and it became clear that many people are struggling with how to understand and deal with this kind of behavior in a position of power. Although several writers, including a few professionals, have publicly offered their thoughts on a diagnosis, I am not a professional and this is not a diagnosis. My post is not intended to persuade anyone or provide a comprehensive description of NPD. I am speaking purely from decades of dealing with NPD and sharing strategies that were helpful for me in coping and predicting behavior. '>>>

12. The mistake is not seeing what his behavior is trying to accomplish, breaking up the USA

and making off with all the assets, a la Russian Mafia. Lots of real estate, oil and gas, slaves, .....

14. The investigation has been done by Eichenwald when it mattered and NYT was

busy taking the Comey bait. Why should I pay attention to anything they say now? As for Trump, someone who knows it refuses to ascribe him the geniis you guys seem to

he can't help himself. It's revealing and relevant.
Enough with the "distraction" narrative. Got tired of it during the W years, before twitter.
