n an unusually harsh piece in the Wall Street Journal published Tuesday night, the conservative paper equated Donald Trump’s obsession with the idea that he was wiretapped by ex-President Barack Obama to a drunk with “an empty gin bottle.”

According to the Journal, Trump is in danger of becoming a “Fake president,” due to his promotion of what turns out to be “fake news,” seriously damaging his credibility.

“If President Trump announces that North Korea launched a missile that landed within 100 miles of Hawaii, would most Americans believe him? Would the rest of the world?” the editorial begins. “We’re not sure, which speaks to the damage that Mr. Trump is doing to his Presidency with his seemingly endless stream of exaggerations, evidence-free accusations, implausible denials and other falsehoods.”

Noting the president’s failure to admit that he has no evidence of wiretapping, the Journal goes on to say that, not only is he destroying his credibility, but the credibility of his spokes people.

I'd say that destruction is already a done deal.

5. If he said the sky is blue and calm,

I'd know for sure it was black outside and storming. He tells GOP vote for this or your voters will cast you out, what he means is vote for this because I said so, and oh, your voters will kick you out afterwards. He doesn't care about the pols either, will fire bomb all American institutions before he's through.

7. When is the article about Trump's mental instability coming out?

It's obvious to any armchair psychiatrist the man "ain't right."

8. "...is in danger of becoming a "Fake president"..."

...That train has sailed, departing January 19, 2017 with forced fanfare and crowds decidedly smaller than Barrack Obama's.

10. The wall street gangsters are pissed at BLOTUS 45

He isn't dismantling the safety net and looting the economy fast enough to suit their horrendous greed.

Nice to see their knifes coming out for Putin's puppet so soon. 😁

12. It's a silly Waterloo...

... but the only way Mr Trump can avoid it is by admitting he was wrong.

13. I think this is the why behind the Ivanka get's an Office story

but it's not going to work unless she moves in and monitors not only his tweeting, but his consumption of conspiracy theory masking as news. And even then - he'd probably just take his phone with him into the bathroom, and I don't think she is willing to go that level of babysitting.

14. Et tu, WSJ?

15. "Destroying his credibility"?! WHAT CREDIBILITY?

Jesus H Christ. Did not his birtherism destroy his credibility? Or how about Trump University? Or bragging that he knows more than the generals?

Is the Wall Street Journal just now figuring out Trump is a pathological liar?

[HopeAgain]

16. When are we going to hear about the failing Wall Street Journal?

Or doe the articles in that paper use too many big words for Trump to understand them?
