(11,546 posts)Talk about shooting himself in the foot. He'd had millions and millions of dollars worth of exposure handed to him on a silver platter, now he's screwing that up as well.

(5,489 posts)Besides, they were saying 'mean things' about him (i.e. quoting his exact words), and he's so thin-skinned that he just HAS to be snarky in response. This will also garner him a massive amount of free exposure, which his hardcore supporters will turn a blind eye to and dismiss as just another example of liberal media bias.
See Eric Hoffer's "The True Believer" for a cogent explanation of the tRump phenomena.

(4,296 posts)Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
