Trump is getting incrementally more combative, defensive, rude, and self-pitying with White House reporters [View all]

And, as always, a lot of what Trump squirts out is projection.

The personal attacks on reporters who ask the most innocent and reasonable questions, given the fact that he is "supposed to be the president," have skyrocketed.

If you say "tariff" or "Qatari jet," no matter how the rest of the sentence plays out, you're stupid, you're nasty, you're uneducated, you're ill suited for your job, you're a moron...like I said, projection.

Trump's talent for the last 68 years has been to eat, sleep, defecate, screw, and live in a fantasy world where getting $420 million from your daddy actually results in your producing something other than one failure after another.
