32. Did I miss the day-after breast thumps on Truth Social?

Too frequently, Trump will rewrite the narrative where he was forceful and right and gave the 'fake' journalist (in this case, Kristen Welker) a well-deserved beat down. He loved doing this to Jim Acosta who had the audacity to rely on facts and would push back on obvious lies.

Haven't heard that Trump has extended his aggression towards Welker. Instead, he reportedly blamed his anger on the . . . rain.

The fake news is now in control of the weather. Who knew?

When I saw clips of that interview I thought Trump was gearing up for an on-camera stroke. His face was scarlet and that expression wasn't normal anger; it was uncontrollable rage.

This is clearly a mentally deranged man who for several minutes revealed his psychosis to the entire world.

He must know how bad it was. Otherwise we'd be listening to him rewrite the script, yowling on and on about what a crap, light-weight reporter Welkin is.

Rain made him do it??

Lame and lamer.
