Donald Trump.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Wednesday morning Trump woke up and fumbled around for his phone to express himself on the Twitter machine. Included in his daily tantrum was a particularly self-absorbed whine. It started out as a typical attack on the media that he despises so much. But it concluded with a display of incoherent victimhood:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">After reading the false reporting and even ferocious anger in some dying magazines, it makes me wonder, WHY? All I want to do is <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/MAGA?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#MAGA<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realDonaldTrump\/status\/902885560552960000?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 30, 2017<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Oh, poor Donald. He&#8217;s the object of so much undeserved contempt when the only thing he&#8217;s ever want to do was MAGA. For those not initiated into his acronym club, that&#8217;s <em>&#8220;Make America Great Again.&#8221;<\/em> Nothing else has entered his mind since sacrificing his golden penthouse in Manhattan to serve his country. Never mind the bone spurs, he just wants to give something back.<\/p>\n<p>Well, with everything else that the President has to deal with, perhaps his plaintive wail can be answered with a little help from his pals on Twitter. The first response he received literally spelled it out in the initials:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-conversation=\"none\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Really? Why? Let me spell it out.<br \/>R ussia <br \/>E moluments<br \/>S elfish<br \/>I gnorant<br \/>S upremacist <br \/>T yrant<br \/>??????????<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; #DoSomethingGOP (@AHamiltonSpirit) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AHamiltonSpirit\/status\/902892124017901569\">August 30, 2017<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s a pretty complete explanation for why Trump is wondering. The nation has concluded that he is an incompetent blowhard. He has the worst approval ratings of any president in modern history. And it isn&#8217;t personal. It&#8217;s based on his words and deeds. He has compiled an agenda that the American people reject and has embarrassed the nation with his crude demeanor. From his efforts to kill ObamaCare, to his climate science denial, to his pandering to the elites of Wall Street. Donald Trump has alienated our allies and cozied up to our enemies.<\/p>\n<p>Add to that his recent defense of neo-Nazis in Charlottesville. He doesn&#8217;t need to wonder why the alt-right, white supremacists are behind him a hundred percent. And as a five-time draft dodger, Trump earned more rebukes by casting aside transgender patriots who want to serve their country in uniform. His latest project to reform taxes is nothing but a give-away to the wealthy at the expense of everyone else.<\/p>\n<p>Does he still wonder why he receives so much criticism in the press? That, after all, was what triggered this <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/talkingpointsmemo.com\/livewire\/trump-complains-critical-coverage-magazine-stories\" target=\"_blank\">puzzling tirade<\/a><\/strong>. How about the manner in which he assaults the media and the constitutional protection of free speech. He has <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=33924\" target=\"_blank\">called them<\/a><\/strong> <em>&#8220;the enemy of the American people.&#8221;<\/em> Just this week an international organization <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.osce.org\/fom\/336916\" target=\"_blank\">warned<\/a><\/strong> that his hostile rhetoric could result in attacks on journalists.<\/p>\n<p>However, for a more comprehensive view of why Trump is so reviled, let&#8217;s turn again to Twitter:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-conversation=\"none\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">After hearing you LIE over and over again and angrily lash out so unprofessionally, it makes me wonder, WHY are you POTUS!!<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Bishop Talbert Swan (@TalbertSwan) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TalbertSwan\/status\/902888441829965825\">August 30, 2017<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-conversation=\"none\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Colluding with a hostile foreign power to overthrow our Democracy is not MAGA.

His son Eric gave a pretty good reason during an <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rawstory.com\/2017\/08\/listen-eric-trump-says-his-father-tunes-out-criticism-so-he-doesnt-commit-suicide-out-of-depression\/\" target=\"_blank\">interview<\/a><\/strong> on a wingnut radio show.
