Comedienne Michelle Wolf decided that her stand-up act during the White House Correspondents Dinner would not hit Trump in the typical ways. She didn’t talk about his racism, sexism, xenophobia, or even his orange skin. Instead, she focused on his endless bragging about his personal wealth and questioned the truth of it. Is it any wonder, then, that Trump went on a Twitter rant the next morning? Of course it isn’t, because of course he did.
Remember when everyone at the G20 Summit was talking about John Podesta? Trump tweeted that they were, because world leaders who met to discuss important issues like climate change and bringing peace to the world were sure to be focused on a fake scandal that Trump drummed up because he couldn’t stop talking about the election and deflecting from the real scandals surrounding him. In fact, he still hasn’t stopped talking about it even though it was a year and 98 days ago. Just like he was immediately after his inauguration, he’s also back to lying about crowd sizes.
He also can’t stop talking about polls despite the fact that he’s insisted ever since the election that polls are all “fake news.” He’s resorting now to just claiming that “polls,” no specific one, have him beating Obama in job approval. Of course, none of that is true, so it’s no surprise that he won’t point to a specific one. It still eats him alive that Hillary Clinton won the popular vote and that President Obama is more beloved and respected than Trump will ever be.
Twitter called Trump out on his ridiculous lies. See some of their responses below:
