Trump whines about ‘unfair’ media treatment while addressing Coast Guard grads headed to active duty



http://www.rawstory.com/2017/05/trump-whines-about-unfair-media-treatment-while-addressing-coast-guard-grads-headed-to-active-duty/

After saluting the work and service of the U.S. Coast Guard, Trump turned to complain that he was being persecuted by the media.

“Now I want to take this opportunity to give you some advice. Over the course of your life you will find that things are not fair,” Trump told them. “You will find that things happen to you that you do not disserve and that are not always warranted but you have to put your head down and fight, fight, fight.”

He went on to tell the cadets that he personally has been treated so unfairly.

“No politician in history, and I say this with great surety, has been treated worse or more unfairly,” Trump said. “You can’t let them get you down. You can’t let the critics and the naysayers get in the way of your dreams. I guess that’s why I want to thank you.”

Academy graduates, he whines about his worthless self. I'm sure those in attendance got the message.

What a mistake this country made last November!

The Coast Guard is a very important organization, and has crucial duties to perform. Ask anyone who has been stranded in a boat with an engine that won't start off the coast. They'll tell you.

This man is unbelieveable. Can there be a more socially clueless person on the planet? He is so inappropriate in every situation.

it is unfair that I still have to look at his butt-ugly mug every time I look at any kind of news media; like it has been for nigh onto two fucking years now. Unfair!

In a fair world, this moron would never have been placed into any kind of public office, and might be mentioned in the Op-Ed pages at best, as an example of how humans should never behave.

The entire tenor of his "presidency" can be summed up as such: personal aggrievement.

His poll number continue to suck so, once again, he complains about rightful media scrutiny, again... and again... and again...
