    And this is what our new administration worries about.

    Talk about a presidential ego that needs constant stroking.

    Spicer held a press conference, lineman a rant session, to promote the distorted view that somehow more people attended Trump's swearing in than did.

    In the course of doing so, he made a couple totally false statements.

    Really Trump and friends? This is the sort of stuff important to yo?

    President Trump’s top spokesman used his first White House press briefing to berate the media — for accurately reporting the crowd size at Friday’s inauguration.

    “This was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration, period — both in person and around the globe,” a seething Sean Spicer said in a Saturday address riddled with falsehoods.

    “These attempts to lessen the enthusiasm of the inauguration are shameful and wrong.”


    Spicer delivered much of his 5 1/2-minute diatribe flanked by ph

    It's pretty impressive, don't you think... Oh and why isn't the MLK bust anti-Trump lie and smear mentioned in your link and your OP? Too embarrassing when the media lies are exposed?

    He was including the Clinton supporters who spent their life savings to show up and throw rocks.

    Does this behaviour remind anyone else of a third world dictator? Seriously - he may have plenty of Twitter followers but he STILL has to deal with congress and if the press become too hostile - so will congress

    Hmm, not really, not even close.... but the collusion between the media, the ruling (up till 2 days ago) democrat party and the DNC/Hillary campaign did.

    Spicer is a liar. Just like his boss. Lots of Inauguration photos have been published online and Trump’s crowds look thin. Comparisons have been made to other Inaugurations as well as to other gatherings -- and, again Trump comes up short. (Pun intended).

    I’ve seen Spicer in a couple of TV interviews. He’s a belligerent flake and a loud-mouth. Guess these clowns are all clones of trump. The world is learning that nothing trump says can be believed.

    If the pictures are there for comparison and you think others have had more people then please show us the pictures! Or just like others are you simply trying to deceive without evidence in hopes someone will believe you!

    If I choose to argue something I am completely prepared to back it up with facts and proof. Something that seems to be forgotten by the liberals who simply play the he said she said and I said game but never seem to really know the facts.

    Trump, during one of his tantrumps, had hysterically raved that U.S. intelligence tactics were reminiscent of Nazi Germany.

    That was because they had developed intelligence that Russian President Vladimir Putin directed hackers to boost Trump's presidential election campaign.

    Suspecting that the intelligence services might develop intelligence concerning his comparing U.S intelligence services to Nazis, he went to the CIA headquarters and threw another tantrump, blaming the press for maliciously reporting accurately what he had said.

    That led to a tantrump about the press maliciously estimating accurately the size of the crowd that had attended his presidential debutante cotillion, an ego-maniacal obsession about which the intelligence services give a flying fart.

    Apparently, there were, yet again, "thousands and thousands" that only Trump saw.

    The intelligence services now have more intelligence.

    In this meeting with the CIA Trump went off about how he felt like a 39 year old man.

    I think he has 8 signs of dementia.

    Yeah, it had me wondering...is he going to yell and throw a tantrum every press conference? And then not take questions from the press corp?

    His lie about attendance is right up there with the howler about Trump's "landslide" victory.

    Biggest and most terrific landslide in history, you betcha!

    We all know by now what you think, Margot, so why don't you just knock off the small-minded spamming? Or are you going to carry on with it for the next 4 years - or the next 8 years!

    I am not small minded or spamming. I have been watching Trump for over a year and tried to give him the benefit of the doubt. I hoped he would settled down and make sense after the election. He hasn't.

    Please. Try to be honest. Below you'll find a couple of links to some photos. You'll probably deny their true, though. Click on some of the photos for larger sizes.

    He may have meant to boast that he had just felt a 29 year old woman, trying to impress the CIA as he had Billy Bush.

    The nation will need to get used to them. His already getting pissy and his ego demanding that he bloat the number of folks that attended his debut is not a promising sign.

    Trump is the first president to have neither experience in government, nor in the military. The temperamentally-unstable pitch man has been a hotshot developer, a schlock tv performer, the founder of fraudulent Trump® U, and he fancies himself a slick dealmaker. But he’s never attempted to master the legislative process. He may well be as adept at statesmanship as he is at delivering a stunning performance as Clara in The Nutcracker.

    His rabid narcissism and frustration at his inability to discharge the duties of a president with a reasonable degree of competence could cause him to lash out hysterically quite frequently, I suspect.

    His cultists will be giddy no matter what. Others will bring a critical sensibility to his antics.

    Still, there is a difference between Trump before his inauguration and after his in inauguration. (Regarding his believe in dishonest media.)
    Difference is that he is now President and this believe in dishonest media has now been presented as 'official government policy'. (As proven by his spokesperson.)

    The fact that Trump is more interested in his own glorification than discussing proper government policy (jobs) should immediately alert the nation. (Including his loyal following, although they will always be inclined to give him 'just a little bit more time'.)

    The rest of America and the world now know that Trump will never prioritize truths (like the state of unemployment) but only his own distorted world views. Distorted of course by 'dishonest media', according to Trump.

    The brainwashing of Trumps ''subjects'' (you, me and the rest of the world) has officially begun by way of a sleazy press-officer. (For Trump hasn't got balls, being President, to come out anymore and talk to our face.)

    If he can't admit that his inauguration was poorly attended how will he ever admit that those millions of jobs he promised have failed to materialize?

    Answer; He wont. In fact, he'll claim they do exist and blame the media for falsely reporting they don't exist.

    By that time we should all believe that the media lies for a living and that he, Twitter-troll Trump, is the almighty King-of Truth.

    This is how Trump hopes to secure his re-election. Goebbels has taught him well...

    Once, before being elected, we could denounce Trump as a clown, never to be taken seriously as President of a country.

    Now, with him being President, we should denounce Trump as a paranoid schizophrenic who's delusional views of the world will seriously harm the people who's interest he should have at hart.
    And since Trump doesn't have a hart, that interest will remain illusive. (Other than his interest in self-glorification.)

    You can't impeach or assassinate a clown, for he's just a clown, an amusing and harmless peasant.
    Being President, Trump no longer has the luxury or right to avoid that fate, considering his authoritarian and dictatorial behavior. His fate as President, regarding his reign, is in the hands of the people.

    The sooner this abomination of a human is removed from office, the better. By impeachment, fine. By bloodless revolution, fine. Any other way; we'll take it.

    Dementia would necessitate dissipation. He seems to have maintained a spry adolescent egocentrism with little sign of decline - unless it's his inability to recognize himself saying what he has said and irrationally denying it. That inevitably gets him flustered and results in another tantrump. He seems to feel that, if he ignores what he says, everyone else should as well.
