Donald had a temper tantrum on national television and walked out of an interview simply because Kristen Welker presented him with a basic fact.
Note to other journalists: now is the time to pile on. He won't be able to handle it.
Hard to believe Spencer Pratt lost the election despite having no experience, being highly unpopular and running in a 4:1 democratic stronghold.
Makes no sense.
@spencerpratt Bye clown. Please fulfill your promise and get the hell out of here. We don't want degenerate fuckheads like you thinking they can run things.
Trump has a meltdown and ends the interview
Welker: Just to be very clear, there's no evidence of what you're saying.
Trump: There’s a lot of evidence. There’s tremendous evidence. There’s nothing but evidence. The election was rigged. And it’s happening again in California. They’re cheating.
Welker: Do you have evidence?
Trump: All I have to do is look.
Welker: That’s not evidence. The local officials acknowledge they are slow
Trump: They’re crooked. Just like you’re crooked. You’re either crooked or stupid.
Look at this deranged, demented, utter moron rambling on like a child about a pool when he's there to talk about lowering costs for farmers. What a disgusting sight. What an embarrassment to these workers and this country.
TOTAL TRAIN-WRECK.
Trump is in Wisconsin meeting with farmers right now, where he was supposed to talk about lowering costs.
THIS is how it's going: My god.
Trump’s budget director Russ Vought is the most dangerous person you’ve never heard of.
And he just proposed turning every federal grant into a loyalty test.
His plan would make funding for cancer research, housing, transportation, and public health depend on one thing: whether it “advances the President’s policy priorities.”
Not whether it works.
Not whether Congress authorized it.
Whether it pleases Trump.
This is the appropriations power. It belongs to Congress and to the people.
To my Republican colleagues: where are you?
Congress passed this funding. You voted for it.
Vought is telling you to your faces that your votes do not matter, that he and his enablers will override the law whenever it suits them. Every day you stay silent, you give away the institution you were elected to defend.
Grow a spine.
This is not about left or right.
It is about whether Congress still exists as a coequal branch, or whether we have quietly surrendered the purse to an unelected hack who holds the Constitution in contempt.
History will remember who stood up and who looked away.

The @nytimes is clearly all-in for Concerned Collins, publishing this puff piece at the same time it's smearing Platner. Don't ever think the oligarchs who own the Times don't like their tax cuts. https://t.co/oPf9RfPH7V
If CA counted all its votes in one day, the argument would be that they weren’t doing it properly and were just eyeballing ballots and not double checking things. No matter what, they’d find an excuse to claim fraud because the process isn’t what concerns them, but the results.
If you can stand it, listen to this sick, deranged lunatic rambling incoherently for two minutes and weep for what used to be the United States of America.
🚨WOW! Trump just LOST IT on CNN’s Kaitlan Collins for asking if the $1.8 billion DOJ slush fund is on hold or completely dead.
"You should be ashamed of yourself, you used to be a Conservative...
It was the greatest thing because people like you have abused our people so badly, like CNN, the NYT, oh my god.”
Then he started rambling and gushing about the Jan. 6 rioters.
"There was so much love and friendship; it was amazing people were crying.
"Those people have been abused by you."
We're witnessing on live TV the downfall of a powerful narcissist who's used to everything going his way.
So let me get this straight.
Jake Tapper is focused on attacking my Mom.
Jared and Ivanka are building a private island paradise on Albanian protected land.
Don Jr married the daughter of Epstein’s banker, and a startup his fund backs just got a record $620M Pentagon loan.
Eric is taking an Israeli drone company public for $1.5B in the middle of a war with Iran that nobody wanted.
And I know: “But what about your paintings, Hunter?”
Please.
oh my goodness -- Ted Lieu played Rubio a video of Trump sleeping while Rubio tried to talk to him during a cabinet meeting. Then this exchange happened:
RUBIO: I've never seen him fall asleep
LIEU: I'm gonna show you a video that shows you just lied to Congress
*plays another video of Trump sleeping by Rubio*
