Sometimes the tweets belong in the Theater of the Absurd Hall of Fame. Here’s one, just today.
Some members of the media are very Angry at the Fake Story in the New York Times. They actually called to complain and apologize – a big step forward. From the day I announced, the Times has been Fake News, and with their disgusting new Board Member, it will only get worse!

That’s right, members of the fourth estate called Donald Trump to complain and apologize about their colleagues. The conversation probably went something like this:
White House Operator: This is the White House. How may I direct your call.
Reporter: Yes, I’m with the Bugtussle Bulletin and I’d like to speak to Donald Trump.
WHO: I’m sorry, the president doesn’t speak to the press, just about them. Goodbye.
Reporter: Wait, wait! I really need to speak to him. I want to complain and apologize about my colleagues, especially the New York Times.
WHO: Seriously? For what?
Reporter: Well, the New York Times has just gone off the wall! They just make up news.
WHO: Hold please….the president is on the phone with Sean Hannity. You’re next.
Yeah, that happened.
But that was only one of the morning’s bizarre moments. Appearing on “Meet The Press,” presidential counsel Rudy Giuliani actually said “truth isn’t truth.”
