Here's the question. Why does Trump feel the need to respond to every slight on twitter? Is it because he feels insecure about his own legitimacy? Why can't he just let people have their opinions about him, and move on instead of launching all out attacks on them?

You have no choice but to go after these nut jobs...The 24 hour news cycle and a completely bias MSM working together will spin and create any narrative they want...You can't let up....Look at this ridiculous Russian narrative...

Obama didn't go after the birther nonsense like this. He saw it for what it was, and he had nothing to hide.

Lol, you've got to be kidding!

YOU still believe he was born in Kenya? Your upvoters too?

Idiots. After all this,still.

Exactly where have you been? There has never been a more arrogant or narcissistic president before this clown...Obama is the precedent....Yes, I agree much like somebody's tax returns.

Some white men can't handle the fact that an educated, cultured black man made it to the oval office.

Seems a lot of them.

Yes, more than I ever would have guessed. Racism is still alive and well in the U.S., sadly.

An educated and cultured man doesn't go around destroying the world because he didn't get his way, which is exactly what Obama is doing right now.

The world is destroyed?

Clowns.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

How many times has Obama written his name in big gold letters, you, who can identify narcissists so well.

Somebody else's tax returns anyway.

Because this what the left does. They attack people with lies and name calling. They are trying to delegitimize his Presidency before he even gets into office. They really thought they had a stranglehold on this country. Well, the people who love this country beat them at the ballot box and they are nothing but angry and spiteful.

Trump ran his entire campaign on name calling, and engages in name calling on twitter on an almost daily basis. The president should rise above the fray and set an example.

Don't you think you are asking a lot . That is his mode of operation a school yard bully. When things don't go his way screams the fix was in. Now he can bully the world with his BFF Putin . I would like to know what is going to happen when he run into to leaders who don't care about his money and Ego which seem to be the only two thing important to him and treat him like he should have been treated all along
I think the best we can hope for is Impeachment because he runs fast and loose with the law because he feels they don't apply to him
He has bamboozed a lot of people with his grandiose plans. This man cant make one decision without his family(how lame is that ) that is scary just Nepotism on overdrive and he will probably try to take the country down with him
Trumps slogan should be 'make Russia Great" he sure is a fanboy of Putin and where there smoke thee is fire

Wow not one fact or piece of logic in the entire post. Just silly name calling accusations, predictions, and references to unsubstantiated news stories in left wing rags citing unnamed sources.

The LEFT uses bully tactics...Where have you been for the past 8 years? Doesn't feel so good does it...

Seems to me the ones squealing are the democrats.
Just saying.

i am a independent , But even from where i stand Trump is tainted. Fair and square is just not how he plays. The Russian were clearly helping him out he didn't win this on his own he just won't accept the reality of how it looks. he can throw his trademarked fits of rage 'it isn't what it is it what it looks like' If he wanted them to stop he could have called him like his security adviser had been doing on back channel him. If anything on the dossier is true i high doubt it would see the light of the republicans just aren't that brave these days
Since Trump has taken it on himself to take on the security and the press establishment i really hope that they take him to task and pick up the challenge. If he has nothing to hide why doesn't he release his tax returns. I also wonder why hasn't one company who does business with he Trump organization come to their defense stating how great they are to work with ?
Why is he now hotel already getting liens filed on it. Just the same playbook different town

The president-elect is setting an example, even if you don't like it. He is saying fight fire with fire. The political left in this country is very much in an "Emperor's New Clothes" moment. Their continued existence as an organized political force is entirely dependent upon nobody ever challenging them on their own turf. This has placed them in the envious tactical position of being able to attack the enemy at will, while never fearing retaliation. Allowing them to do so is a mistake the political right should have learned not to do in Vietnam. It appears the message has begun to sink in a bit. Trump is shouting "they're naked" as loud as he can, and a lot of sacred oxen are about to get gored.

Name calling is always used by the left. I remember hearing sweet Hillary, Hollywood, and the media using the words racist, troglodyte, misogynist,, homophobe, deplorable, xenophobe. Climb down off your high horse. Your party is a disgrace to America.

this story is phony..trump knows a lot about sacrifice.. he spent countless hours figuring out how to get 5 draft deferments..then he sacrificed during the campaign by standing on stage with a supporter giving trump his purple heart.....then trump sacrificed by going deep into enemy territory to get the help of an authoritarian leader to install him into a presidency... yes..trump knows sacrifice alright!

Why do you feel the need to object, snowflake?

It's called freedom of speech, something your president elect needs to learn about - maybe he ought to read the constitution and stop watching The Apprentice.

His will use it for toilet paper .One thing he will probably try to take away except for his. God forbid you have a different opinion than Donald duck on second thought donald duck could probably be a better president

You Leftwingers and projection...NOT WORKING...Different views? Ever been to a university campus towing something other than the Leftwing gibberish? Give me a break...You lefties are the most intolerant people around...

i used to be a republican Then i opened my eyes and saw what is really going on. I am now an independent . I want what is best for all Americans not just the rich. Do you really think Trump and Kushner care about anyone not in their social circle if you do you are a fool. Look at the way Kushner and Trump company treat their tenants and employee's . That is what America Has to look for too

We never see their tenants and employees.
So how can we make a judgment on that?
But the building sure is pretty.
I don't think I would be complaining either if I was a tenant or employee.
So?

Oh, so freedom of speech applies to everyone but Trump?...gotcha...

Phucking dolt....

Trump is going to hold the highest office in the land. He is going to be the same target that Obama was. Time for him to have a taste of his own medicine. Only, he so far hasn't been able to muster the same level of dignity Obama has, and judgement in knowing when to respond, and when not to.

Same target? Obama was never eviscerated by the leftist media the way Trump is, and Trump's not even the president yet!

And Obama knows when to respond an when not to, like when he said that police officers asked stupidly when he had no clue what was going on, and blamed Benghazi on a you tube video. Where was the media to hold Obama to account?

Hypocrite!

What a DOLT!

If you want to understand why most Americans disapprove of Trump, here it is in a nutshell:
1) He ran a campaign engaged in race-baiting, based on the birther lie movement.
2) He refuses to allow any transparency into his business dealings, such as not releasing his tax returns.
3) He told so many lies on the campaign trail, lies about other people, denigrating others, and basically acting like a big bully.
4) He continues the same behavior now, even putting his family in the white house, and refusing to walk away from his business interests (another lie - he said he would on the campaign trail).
5) He praises Putin, while putting down our sitting president.
We, the majority of Americans, think the country deserves better.

You're the one bitching about his freedom of speech.
Think about it.

No, it's not freedom of speech, it's bullying. When you're in a position of power you don't need to punch down.

Freedom of speech!!!??? LOL A liberal talking about freedom of speech. Sure, after you have removed any comment or innuendo that might be construed as not being politically correct. You are so full of ...I must be politically correct for a snowflake....uh...so full of doo doo.

Mitt Romney tried doing that 4 years ago and the Left, through its military arm (the MSM), defined him falsely and destroyed him in the general election. Trump understood that you can never allow the Left to define you or to control the message. He "out aggressed" the Left aggressors and beat them at their own game. That is one reason that so many on the Left are incensed, shocked and insulted. Actually entertaining to hear Lewis complain about the fact that voters actually got the benefit of transparency regarding Ms. Clinton by knowing her attitude about open borders and other beliefs, rather than deceitful campaign talking-point nonsense. As for Ellison...as a Muslim he would know more about the sacrificing business, and perhaps is already thinking about the reward of 72 Virgins...

You really are off your rocker.

A compliment indeed from the Left. Thank you. Have a wonderful weekend.

He doesn't. If he did, you would be hearing from him alot more.
He tweets in the early morning, just like a bird.
Isn't it great! I think it's nice to hear his pet peeve of the day.

How very presidential.

Because every slight deserves a response. Opinions are a two way street. He's just not your standard issue Republican. Bush didn't respond to partisan criticism and look what it got him.

Trump responds when a Miss Universe contestant says things that rub hi the wrong way. He is thin-skinned and insecure of his legitimacy.

When there is little upside to being thick skinned, one might as well be thin skinned ... and as his legitimacy is being challenged, why should he be secure.

When someone who has earned your respect criticizes you, a mature person reflects on that criticism, thinks about it as something he may want to consider addressing. When a big mouth clown like Lewis or Ellison criticizes you, you simply call them out for what they are.

"Why does Trump feel the need to respond to every slight on twitter?"

It's called freedom of speech, something lib tards need to learn about

It's called indignity. The POTUS position used to always carry at least a modicum of dignity, until Trump. This is just embarrassing to the country.

It's called indignity. The POTUS position used to always carry at least a modicum of dignity, until OBAMA. This is just embarrassing to the country."
I corrected your statement for you, I know you had the wrong person there.

All Trump has is money. He has done nothing that wasn't for himself or his Brood it is that simple You can add Kushner too if you like
