A Tweet from Trump, and Other Nonsense

Isn’t it a shame that someone can write an article or book, totally make up stories and form a picture of a person that is literally the exact opposite of the fact, and get away with it without retribution or cost. Don’t know why Washington politicians don’t change libel laws? @realDonald Trump

Isn't it a shame that books are published all the time;

that all their information isn't treated like a crime?

If I were made the President, I'd make those authors scram.

Oh wait, what am I saying? The Chief of State I am!

In that case, have a care, you swine, that publish such malarkey --

My apparatchiks will find you; and they can be quite snarky.

no wonder his parents see red.
