Play the Trump Pop Quiz Game: Who is the Enemy of People? His Enemy? His #1 Torment?

Who is Trump's #1 adversary, foe, rival, or competitor  

(Hint: Not the middle-man)

Washington (CNN via MSN) – Trump on Wednesday (July 18) continued to defend his meeting with Vladimir Putin in Helsinki, just one day after walking back his remarks in which he would not endorse U.S. intelligence findings on Russian election meddling over Putin's denial, now saying via a tweet: “So many people at the higher ends of intelligence loved my press conference performance in Helsinki.” 

He continued in his tweet: “Putin and I discussed many important subjects at our earlier meeting. We got along well which truly bothered many haters who wanted to see a boxing match. Big results will come!”

That tweet was part of a stream of messages Trump issued on Wednesday morning as he defended his meeting with the Russian autocrat.

Icing on the proverbial nut roll Trump cake – also on Wednesday:

Now once again facing continued backlash over his comments at his summit with Putin, and his attempt to clarify them on Tuesday (see above) and now again on Wednesday, Trump once again (as usual) accused his critics of being “haters who wanted to see his diplomatic efforts fail.”

Another Trump tweet: “Some people HATE the fact that I got along well with President Putin of Russia. They would rather go to war than see this. It’s called Trump Derangement Syndrome!”

Background over the last three days:

Monday in Helsinki: Trump was fiercely criticized for his comments, and several top congressional Republican leaders as well as conservative media commentators on FOX who condemned his remarks.

Tuesday in the White House: Trump attempted to clean up the controversy when he said he had misspoken (should have said “wouldn’t and NOT would”) during the news conference referring to Russian election tampering.

Then on Tuesday at that same White House meeting he affirmed that he has “full faith and support for America's intelligence agencies,” saying: “I accept our intelligence community's conclusion that Russia's meddling in the 2016 election took place.”

(I note: Okay, you accept their conclusion – what is yours)?

Then he said leading up to a closed door meeting with congressional members on taxes and before couching his comments: “Could be other people also; there's a lot of people out there.”

(In Trump-speak: “I still do not believe it was Russia just like Vlad said it was not.” 

Okay, what about this Mr. Trump: Back in February, you called the press the “enemy of the American people.” 

The FAKE NEWS media (failing @nytimes, @CNN, @NBCNews and many more) is not my enemy, it is the enemy of the American people. SICK!” That is not disruptive?).

My 2 cents: Ho Lee Shiite, what a flip-flopping liar Trump is – plainly a man who seeks and needs constant flattery daily to prove his worth and value. He truly has a very serious mental issue – and NO, it is not some super Trump strategy as some of his loyalists portray for him.

Some loyalists also say: “Well, that’s who he is.” They may be right about that, but that’s not who we need.

Trump's lifelong principle and overwhelming demand of those around him is simple: No matter what he says, does, or attempts he demands and expects to be believed no matter what the facts, truth, or law say otherwise. In short: he is always right, never to be doubted, distrusted, or not believed. 

His favorite phrase is the best summary: “Believe me.” 

Well, sir, we do not...!!! Believe us.

Thanks for stopping by.
