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.
It is my opinion that many of the leaks coming out of the White House are fabricated lies made up by the #FakeNews media.

Whenever you see the words 'sources say' in the fake news media, and they don't mention names....

....it is very possible that those sources don't exist but are made up by fake news writers. #FakeNews is the enemy!

Does anyone notice how the Montana Congressional race was such a big deal to Dems & Fake News until the Republican won? V was poorly covered

Twitter, who is so deeply tired of the President, did what they could to roast him. Mostly, they just felt kind of sad.

Never forget; your President literally called reporters using fake names to spin about his sex life.

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.
3 correctives 1) @potus created false identities to leak in the 90s 2) he loved anti-Clinton leaks/Wikileaks 3) he's been dodging reporters https://t.co/9cUFaIhN6e

4) His White House constantly asks to go on background with reporters + complains about leaks. Now leaks are false? https://t.co/RatisLNnu3

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.
