It&#8217;s clear from their nasty reactions, however, that they don&#8217;t really believe that. And Trump&#8217;s own response is escalating in animosity &#8211; and incoherence &#8211; by the minute. For example:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">To show you how dishonest the LameStream Media is, I used the word Liddle\u2019, not Liddle, in discribing Corrupt Congressman Liddle\u2019 Adam Schiff. Low ratings <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CNN?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@CNN<\/a> purposely took the hyphen out and said I spelled the word little wrong. A small but never ending situation with CNN!<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realDonaldTrump\/status\/1177539052683309056?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 27, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>So much derp in one <em>&#8220;liddle&#8221;<\/em> tweet. First of all, Trump is outraged that CNN omitted an apostrophe from his infantile prefix to Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff&#8217;s name. So outraged that he forgot the difference between an apostrophe and a hyphen. He also forgot how to spell the word <em>&#8220;describing.&#8221;<\/em> And he thinks that this punctuation atrocity somehow changes his meaning in a <em>&#8220;dishonest&#8221;<\/em> way.<\/p>\n<p>Trump then moves on to bash the New York Times White House correspondent Peter Baker (and for some reason his wife) for writing a story about Trump&#8217;s phone call with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky that clearly included an extortion threat. Trump has been denying the reality of that even after the incriminating memo summarizing the call was released. But the worst part of this tweet was Trump&#8217;s assertion that Baker <em>&#8220;should not even be allowed to write about me.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&#8230;..nice call with with the new President of Ukraine, it could not have been better or more honorable, and the Fake News Media and Democrats, working as a team, have fraudulently made it look bad. It wasn\u2019t bad, it was very legal and very good. A continuing Witch Hunt!<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realDonaldTrump\/status\/1177543516236500997?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 27, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Trump continues to have the delusional impression that he&#8217;s a tyrannical monarch who gets to decide who and what is permitted in the free press that he repeatedly calls, in Stalin&#8217;s words, <em>&#8220;the enemy of the people.&#8221;<\/em> That burning hatred for the Constitution was further reflected in Trump&#8217;s next tweets that continued his attack on Schiff:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&#8230;sound horrible, and me sound guilty. HE WAS DESPERATE AND HE GOT CAUGHT. Adam Schiff therefore lied to Congress and attempted to defraud the American Public. He has been doing this for two years. I am calling for him to immediately resign from Congress based on this fraud!<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realDonaldTrump\/status\/1177560986666098690?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 27, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Apparently Trump doesn&#8217;t grasp the concept of paraphrasing with emphasis to make a point. That&#8217;s what Schiff was doing. He even prefaced his remarks <em>(video below)<\/em> by saying that Trump&#8217;s phone call <em>&#8220;reads like a classic organized crime shakedown. Shorn of its rambling character, and in not so many words, this is the essence of what the President communicates.&#8221;<\/em> So contrary to Trump&#8217;s brazen lie, Schiff was not <em>&#8220;supposedly reading the exact transcribed version of the call,&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s more, nobody has to make Trump sound horrible or look guilty. Trump does an excellent job of that without assistance. Which makes his demand that Schiff resign all the more pathetic and shimmering with the impotence of a wannabe dictator who doesn&#8217;t know that he lacks the authority he imagines he has. But Trump wasn&#8217;t through with Schiff.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Rep. Adam Schiff totally made up my conversation with Ukraine President and read it to Congress and Millions. He must resign and be investigated. He has been doing this for two years. He is a sick man!<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realDonaldTrump\/status\/1177575947358412800?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 27, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s ironic that Trump would call Schiff <em>&#8220;sick&#8221;<\/em> in a tweet where he once again makes an absurd demand that Schiff <em>&#8220;must resign and be investigated.&#8221;<\/em> Notice the backwards order that Trump puts those in: resign, then be investigated. Trump followed that up with an all-caps tweet that his conversation with Zelensky was <em>&#8220;perfect.&#8221;<\/em> If that was perfect, what kind of horror would mediocre be? <em>(Note: Why does he keep saying &#8220;perfect,&#8221; a word that is generally reserved for things like hanging pictures or seasoning chicken dinner?)<\/em> Trump also claimed that Democrats are <em>&#8220;now to be known as the DO NOTHING PARTY!&#8221;<\/em> Nevermind that <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=41588\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">they have passed more than 200 bills<\/a><\/strong> that Mitch McConnell is blocking in the Senate.<\/p>\n<p>Finally (well, for now), Trump took a wild swing at the whistleblower, who he said without explanation <em>&#8220;isn\u2019t a Whistleblower at all.&#8221;<\/em> That contradicts his own Acting Director of National Intelligence, Joseph Maguire, who told Congress under oath that the whistleblower and his account of the events, was credible and made in good faith. Trump, nevertheless, whined that the complaint was inaccurate and speculated baselessly that it was the work of either a leaker, a spy, or a partisan operative.<\/p>\n<p>At this point Trump is just sending conspiratorial trial balloons into the polluted air that he&#8217;s making worse with the incessant and toxic exhaust from his own mouth. And the frequency and fury of his Twitter tirades is only exacerbating the public perception of his guilt. A poll on Thursday showed a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/theweek.com\/articles\/868070\/impeaching-trump-only-going-more-popular\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">thirteen point increase<\/a><\/strong> in Americans who think Trump should be impeached. And that&#8217;s even before many of these latest revelations had time to percolate through the mediasphere.<\/p>\n<p>Long story short: Trump is revealing a measure of fear that is weighing heavily on him. But that may be the most sane response he&#8217;s had to any of this controversy to date. Fear would be precisely the right emotion under these circumstances. So if he&#8217;s scared it&#8217;s because he has good reason to be.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><strong>How Fox News Deceives and Controls Their Flock:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00QSSMOES\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B00QSSMOES&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=newscorpsecom-20&#038;linkId=TLI6JC2OYE22MUTS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fox Nation vs. Reality: The Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><br \/>\nAvailable now at Amazon.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/h6tqdkDsFt4?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;start=240&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donald Trump is previewing his regularly scheduled Weekend Tweetstorm with a special Friday edition.
