President Donald Trump Tweetstorm – The Sunday Edition
Click here to read the full article.
President Donald Trump lashed out this morning against his old nemesis, the “failing New York Times,” accusing it in his Sunday Twitter stream of planning a “Racism Witch Hunt” in its ongoing coverage.
“The failing New York Times, in one of the most devastating portrayals of bad journalism in history, got caught by a leaker that they are shifting from the Phony Russian Collusion Narrative (the Mueller Report & his testimony were a total disaster), to a Racism Witch Hunt,” Trump said in his tweetstorm.

“‘Journalism’ has reached a new low in the history of our Country. It is nothing more than an evil propaganda machine for the Democrat Party. The reporting is so false, biased and evil that it has now become a very sick joke…But the public is aware!”
The media-conscious Commander-in-Tweet also found time to complain about his poll numbers.
“With all that this Administration has accomplished, think what my Poll Numbers would be if we had an honest Media, which we do not!”
The tweetstorm focus on the Times continues Trump’s spotlighting of a leaked recording in which Times executive editor Dean Baquet seemed to plan slanted coverage of the President on race, now that the Russian collusion theory has proved false.
“How do we cover America, that’s become so divided by Donald Trump? How do we grapple with all the stuff you all are talking about? How do we write about race in a thoughtful way, something we haven’t done in a large way in a long time?” Baquet said.
Trump has been relaxing at his Bedminster, New Jersey resort this week, but plans a Washington, DC return on Sunday. We’ll post more as he revs up for the week.
The tweetstorm so far:
The New York Times will be out of business soon after I leave office, hopefully in 6 years. They have Zero credibility and are losing a fortune, even now, especially after their massive unfunded liability. I’m fairly certain they’ll endorse me just to keep it all going!

House Democrats want to take action against Israel because it is fighting back against two (maybe four) people that have said unthinkably bad things about it & the Israeli people. Dems have such disdain for Israel! What happened? AOC Plus 4 is the new face of the Democrat Party!

Our economy is the best in the world, by far. Lowest unemployment ever within almost all categories. Poised for big growth after trade deals are completed. Import prices down, China eating Tariffs. Helping targeted Farmers from big Tariff money coming in. Great future for USA!

Juan Williams at @FoxNews is so pathetic, and yet when he met me in the Fox Building lobby, he couldn’t have been nicer as he asked me to take a picture of him and me for his family. Yet he is always nasty and wrong!
