President Donald Trump on Wednesday complained about “false reporting and even ferocious anger” in coverage of his presidency by “dying magazines,” and asked, “WHY?”
“All I want to do is #MAGA!” the President tweeted, referring to his campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again.”
After reading the false reporting and even ferocious anger in some dying magazines, it makes me wonder, WHY? All I want to do is #MAGA!

CNN’s Alex Koppelman speculated about which story might have drawn Trump’s ire.
So… NYT Mag? Or Fox & Friends did a segment a little before 9 mentioning VF, Vogue and THR's coverage of Melania's shoes, maybe that? https://t.co/ZTbhZhHGmY

As Koppelman mentioned, Vanity Fair, Vogue and the Hollywood Reporter all published stories on first lady Melania Trump’s footwear as she departed the White House on Tuesday to visit Texas in the wake of Hurricane Harvey (by the time she disembarked Air Force One, the first lady had changed into sneakers).
Vanity Fair also published a story dubbing first daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner, both senior advisers to the President, “exiles on Pennsylvania Avenue.”
The New York Times Magazine on Wednesday also published a cover story on “how to get rich in Trump’s Washington,” though it was not clear which of the plentiful critical coverage of the President caught his eye on Wednesday morning.
See, that reaction right there is WHY. You are clueless and out of touch, Donnie. You think the world revolves around you and instead of MingAGA, you are destroying America’s reputation in the world because of your greed and all your family’s tone-deaf, insenstive and self-centered assumption that you all have been anointed as royalty.
ETA: If you want to MAGA, then muzzle Beavis and Butthead, stop with the greed and back off on using the WH as a private business office, stop with the nepotism and send Jarvanka back to NY, get your wife to spend less time with her hairdresser and wardrobe and more time focussing on something worthwhile.
Hey, give the guy a break. All he wants to do is MAGA! Can’t a guy just MAGA if he wants to? Even for an hour or so?
He is frustrated, because he has been feigning interest in Harvey, and he expects everyone to fall over themselves for his hamfisted attempts at pretending to care. He has not met with a single victim, has not said one word about the victims, the displaced or the property losses. Nada. Instead he tried to stage an impromptu campaign rally so he could hear people yell how great he is.
This is a lead up to a meltdown over Harvey where he reveals he really doesn’t give a shit, and is actually quite offended that Harvey had the audacity to force him to pretend in the first place.
This is whiny even for him.
Typical con speak. Vague accusations of slander, pleading the victim, sandwiched by unlisted accomplishments. Makes it easier for him to play the victim again when he is called out for lying.
