Trump claims Twitter gives us the chance to see his "accurate, honorable" self.

Which is very interesting, because the man I see on Twitter comes off sounding like a rambling lunatic.

Just for example, go back to August 14th of this year and see how Trump spent literally the entire day just throwing himself a pity party and talking to himself.

Certain Republicans who have lost to me would rather save face by fighting me than see the U.S.Supreme Court get proper appointments. Sad!

"Stay on message" is the chant. I always do - trade, jobs, military, vets, 2nd A, repeal Ocare, borders, etc - but media misrepresents!

I have always been the same person-remain true to self.The media wants me to change but it would be very dishonest to supporters to do so!

It is not "freedom of the press" when newspapers and others are allowed to say and write whatever they want even if it is completely false!

I am not only fighting Crooked Hillary, I am fighting the dishonest and corrupt media and her government protection process. People get it!


Crooked Hillary Clinton is being protected by the media. She is not a talented person or politician. The dishonest media refuses to expose!

My rallies are not covered properly by the media. They never discuss the real message and never show crowd size or enthusiasm.

If the disgusting and corrupt media covered me honestly and didn't put false meaning into the words I say, I would be beating Hillary by 20%

The failing @nytimes, which never spoke to me, keeps saying that I am saying to advisers that I will change. False, I am who I am-never said

The failing @nytimes talks about anonymous sources and meetings that never happened. Their reporting is fiction. The media protects Hillary!

If the press would cover me accurately & honorably, I would have far less reason to "tweet." Sadly, I don't know if that will ever happen!


Poor Donald. He only tweets to protect his honor.

I do think he and his cronies plan to plunder the US, but I think his obsessive tweeting is just an obvious sign of his NPD.

and justify his bullshit to the public. The plundering will happen, of course, but the compulsive tweeting is unrelated. He does it because it's an easy and instant way to brag.

Notice how he works the Media to his advantage,he will say or tweet something to sway the daily News Conversation and Cycle. He made a shot at the AM cycle,and in a couple of hours,depending on reaction to his first spew,he will amp up something truly stupid about mid afternoon to capture the evening news run.
