Trump is back from Europe and ready to ruin Twitter again
Even though he was busy destroying postwar alliances and praising autocrats, it was nice to have President Trump away from the United States for a week, especially away from Twitter.
Well, that time has ended. President Trump is back from Europe and back on his phone, with some of his most disturbing (yet properly spelled!) allegations yet.
This time, Trump alleged that credible news sources who were discussing things like Russia and possible corruption, weren't just making up their stories, they were imagining their own sources.
The entire news media was lying -- only our dear leader could be trusted to tell the truth.
Twitter, who is so deeply tired of the President, did what they could to roast him. Mostly, they just felt kind of sad.
Scarier still were tweets from New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Glenn Thrush, who reminded readers that the President himself has made up sources before in the past.
In the '90s, Trump was known for sending anonymous tips about none other than Donald Trump to The New York Post. He frequently hid under the names John Barron and John Miller.
Last May, the Washington Post obtained a recording by a man claiming to be Trump's media spokesman.
"He’s starting to do tremendously well financially," Miller said.
Remember when that was the most disturbing thing the President could do?
Ah, the good old days.
