In a series of unhinged tweets on Tuesday morning, President Trump took his usual spout-off against the media in an unusual direction.

Trump claimed the New York Times had apologized to him after the 2016 election and that if they wanted his forgiveness again, they’d have to make a real gesture out of the apology: “Get down on their knees and beg for forgiveness.”

Trump also went off on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” and CNN’s “New Day,” suggesting “Morning Psycho (Joe)” had “nosedived” into something “Angry, Dumb and Sick” since the 2016 election and calling CNN’s Chris Cuomo a ratings failure.

  1. I wonder if the New York Times will apologize to me a second time, as they did after the 2016 Election. But this one will have to be a far bigger & better apology. On this one they will have to get down on their knees & beg for forgiveness-they are truly the Enemy of the People!

    I’d say he is one sick puppy – but that would be grossly unfair to puppies.

  2. Massive projection again.

  3. It’s nice to see he’s up early taking care of the People’s business and important issues that will make Americans’ lives better.

    No, that snark is not fair. I realize and understand the importance that Executive Time goes until at least 11:00. Sorry, sir.

  4. Here is the one and only Enemy of the People, who believes he is King, who shills for the Rupert Murdoch propaganda network that shares his agendas, and who now routinely instructs Public Servants paid for and employed by the People to ignore Congressional Oversight Subpoenas. The Republicans have been governing and legislating in bad faith since Ronald Reagan’s first term, and only believe Democratic Presidents need be held accountable.

  5. megalomania much, dotard?
