We now have an administration that can and will dismiss any criticism or investigation as "fake news" perpetrated by a biased "lamestream media" while countering with "alternative facts".

Kind of funny -- in a black sort of way -- that Conservatives, who profess to have such a distrust of government, are okay with this.

"Alternate facts."

I feel like we're on Earth-3 and the Crime Syndicate of America is in charge now....

Sean Spicer’s defense of himself and explanation of Trump’s sensitivity, annotated...


So, apparently, Spicer feels that the narrative that upsets Trump is how he can't "do what he sets out to do" even after securing the GOP nomination and winning the election. In a nutshell, his credibility. ("...when you're constantly getting told that can't be true, we doubt that you can do this, this won't happen, and that's the narrative when you turn on television every single day, it's a little frustrating.")

So, Trump and co. admit they can't stand the criticism.... that comes with being President of the United States. •sigh*

-C!

*I also learned... never admit error. Never apologize.  That's the Trump way!

Paying attention to the nonsense that they are paying attention to flies
in the face of the legitimate concerns being voiced that they should be
focused on addressing. It's almost like bizarro-president.

I like how Trump is now proclaiming that he lost the popular vote because there "between three and five million illegal votes cast" for Hillary. You know, the only thing worse than a sore loser is a poor winner.

He's not just now saying that, Christopher. He's been saying that since the election.

You mean that he's been saying it since it has replaced "I
won the popular vote by a landslide".

Trump probably feels that there were 65 million plus "illegal" votes in the election....

Brian, Trump has previously been denying that he lost the popular vote. Now he's acknowledged that he did but only because of millions of illegal votes being cast. He's probably trying to claim that the Russian hackers put millions of votes into Hillarys camp as an excuse to explain his failure to capture the popular vote.

Christopher, he's been saying there were millions of illegal votes cast for Hillary since November. Ever since it was clear he lost the popular vote.
