Trump meltdowns seem to be increasing. Now he's even attacking right-wing media. His paranoia is getting the better of him.
How soon before he has such a massive public meltdown that he won't be able to recover?
“Who are you with?” Trump asked a reporter who shouted a question in his direction. “Boy, you people treat us so badly.”
The Journal, Trump continued, “has truly gone to hell … a rotten newspaper. You hear me? What I said … it’s a rotten newspaper.”
The president said he wouldn’t answer a question that came from a reporter for the Journal “because it would be wasting my time.”
“The Wall Street Journal is China-oriented,” he said. “And they’re really bad for this country.”
Trump has ridiculed the Journal for months over its coverage of him and staff editorials that have been critical of his policies on trade and other executive actions during his first 100 days in office.
Last month, for example, the Journal’s editorial board wrote that “China called Trump’s bluff and seems to have won this round.”
