Trump tweets: Happy new year to my enemies who lost so badly

Source: MSN/The Hill

President-elect Donald Trump on Saturday tweeted out a taunting New Year's greeting to those who opposed him.

"Happy New Year to all, including to my many enemies and those who have fought me and lost so badly they just don't know what to do. Love!" Trump wrote hours before the end of 2016.

Trump has frequently used Twitter to mark holidays with taunting messages to his opponents - a tradition that dates back before his entry into politics.

In 2013, he wrote: "Happy Thanksgiving to all--even the haters and losers!"

11. Effects of Snorting Ritalin
Sat Dec 31, 2016, 01:49 PM
Dec 2016
The National Institute on Drug Abuse warns that repeated misuse of Ritalin may lead to addiction. Snorting Ritalin in high doses can lead to anxiety, irritability and aggression. A person may become agitated or confused. Hallucinations and paranoia may also occur in some people who snort crushed Ritalin.

Chronic misuse of the drug may cause serious mental effects if there is a lapse in medication use or the medication is discontinued, including depression, anxiety and insomnia. Long-term Ritalin abusers may develop chronic anxiety, disruptive sleep patterns and paranoia-like symptoms.

38. Narcissistic Personality Disorder develops in adolescence
Sat Dec 31, 2016, 08:44 PM
Dec 2016

Trump's emotional maturity is that of an adolescent and it's not going to change. It's a result of NPD developing in adolescence. Psychologists believe that most adolescents go through a narcissistic phase to some degree, but they grow out of it. Trump didn't; he was in a bubble where it got worse and he never grew up.

If we're really, really lucky, his adolescent behavior will be the worst we have to endure, and it will be the defining characteristic of his presidency. Unfortunately, I fear that we will also have to endure his thin-skinned vindictiveness, starting on Day 1.

the media propaganda we have allowed over our airwaves. The media has manipulated tens of millions into voting against their own interests because they thought they were going after minorities, moochers and libtards. This all serves the corporate interests who we allow to bribe our own representatives. That is the root problem that causes most of our other problems.

He can't just say "opponents" to be more civil. It speaks of the childish grudges he will hold with him going into office. He's got a longer list than Santa that will be receiving stockings full of coal soon.

Lets make his time in office as miserable as we can, so when he cuts down one of his many enemies 10 more stand up in their place.

Payback is a time honored tradition in politics. Continually tweaking your enemies is only going to make it worse. And he has nearly as many enemies among the Rethuglicans as Democrats. When it's politically opportune, the knives will come out.

That's the repugs for you, the guy's a complete loser, a miserable waste of space and air, and they adore him. They tune into him to get this kind of behavior, he performs it to get their adulation. And their party doesn't have a single adult left in the room to oppose him.
