I'm as thick as a plank, please explain?
Are they saying he has no filter because his brain is melting?
http://nymag.com/daily/intelligence...ant-stop-blabbing-about-how-hes-a-madman.htmlThe president is a 70-year-old child whose TV time must be closely monitored — because any news story that upsets his ego will trigger a temper tantrum followed by irrational demands that his indulgent, overwhelmed guardians will be helpless to refuse.
Or so Donald Trump’s aides keep confiding to the nearest available reporter.
On Sunday, one of the president’s confidantes told Politico that his staffers have to “control information that may infuriate him,” a task made difficult by the fact that the leader of the free world “gets bored and likes to watch TV.”

Did anyone else notice that he tweeted this literally two minutes after the Today Show called him out for not investigating it?
Also, last night's tweet about Chicago appears to have been inspired by a Fox News graphic.
Guys, the President is obsessively watching TV news and responding to it in real time.
EDIT: This article has a few other examples of Trump's "media addiction."
EDIT #2: Here is the video of Ari Melber on the Today Show. This segment ended at 7:09 am, and the tweet went out at 7:10. Sad!
EDIT #3: For those wondering if this is a coincidence, it is worth noting that the very next Today Show segment was on SCOTUS nominees, which Trump then tweeted about at 7:17 am.

Suggestions that trump is a fascist are clearly hysterical:
So I work at the EPA and yeah it's as bad as you are hearing:
The entire agency is under lockdown, the website, facebook, twitter, you name it is static and can't be updated. All reports, findings, permits and studies are frozen and not to be released. No presentations or meetings with outside groups are to be scheduled.
Any Press contacting us are to be directed to the Press Office which is also silenced and will give no response. All grants and contracts are frozen from the contractors working on Superfund sites to grad school students working on their thesis. We are still doing our work, writing reports, doing cancer modeling for pesticides hoping that this is temporary and we will be able to serve the public soon. But many of us are worried about an ideologically-fueled purging and if you use any federal data I advise you gather what you can now. We have been told the website is being reworked to reflect the new administration's policy.
Feel free to copy and paste, you all pay for the government and you should know what's going on. I am posting this as a fellow citizen and not in any sort of official capacity."
If you share, please do so with copy and paste.
Don't fool yourselves. Shutting down government agencies, scientific research, and stifling the flow of information to the public are the hallmarks of an authoritarian regime. This is not politics as usual. If the Republicans in Congress don't stand up to the new POTUS, this sort of crackdown will become the new normal. And it isn't normal. It's how democracies are lost.
