Crying, or begging. So-and-so begged me for a job, an endorsement, an interview, a campaign visit, etc. 

You have to wonder: is there anyone who personally knows Trump and yet somehow still likes him? Maybe his kids. Occasionally. 

I'm just so sick of his unending BS, incompetence, oh and the anger. Trump is furious about this, he's seething about that, he erupted over something else. 

Is there really a need for three Trump-related threads here? Doesn't this guy suck all the air out of the room enough already? 

According to Donald Trump, a lot of people are crying around Donald Trump

I bet 280 characters blew his ever-lovin' mind. How can anybody be expected to read such a tome?

That would imply he actually read the article and knew what it said. You assume too much, sir!

Trump Shows Reporters an Article Praising Him, Then Lies About What It Says

Still, Trump’s blatant disregard for the actual text of the article he held up for reporters to photograph did contribute to one record he is on pace to set: as the first president to be caught lying more than 10,000 times during a four-year term.

Then, last week, it skyrocketed. (...)

Have Undocumented Immigrants Killed 63,000 American Citizens Since 11 September 2001?

On 22 June 2018, in the middle of a family separation crisis caused by the Trump administration’s botched “zero tolerance” policy, United States President Donald Trump himself recycled a claim that undocumented immigrants committed an abnormally large number of homicides in the United States.

“Sixty-three thousand Americans since 9/11 have been killed by illegal aliens,” the president said. “This isn’t a problem that’s going away, it’s getting bigger.”

Not only is there no evidence for his claim, it would require a seemingly superhuman murder spree by the nation’s roughly 11 million undocumented immigrants.

The event was held amid a cascade of public outcry against internment camps established by the government for undocumented children, which prompted the Trump administration to quickly change course and order undocumented families to be held together — while seeking the ability to do so indefinitely. But while the president accused reporters of failing to cover this alleged rash of homicides, the numbers do not support this claim. (...)

The original source for Trump’s claim of 63,000 immigrant murders? Bad data from Steve King in 2006.
