During the campaign, Donald Trump suggested that rather than Russia being behind the hack of Democratic Party emails, it could have been “somebody sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds, okay?” Okay. I would be the last to suggest that President Trump weighs literally 400 pounds, but his bed might, and the image of Trump sitting on his bed disrupting the U.S. political system is not the hardest image to bring to mind, okay?

His latest tweet tirade again mentioned #FakeNews. Fake news, of course, is what Trump creates for a living. This recent outburst was complaining that Donald Trump Jr. was “being scorned” by the media. Now, who can barely get through a short, poorly reasoned sentence without scorn squirting from between every syllable?

But it just goes on and on. Because the larger charge that Trump was making against his adversaries in the press was that they were “DISTORTING DEMOCRACY in our country.” (Capitalization his). But of course.

Of course Trump would accuse someone else of DISTORTING DEMOCRACY, when this is the very thing that Russia was engaged in. And the very thing that Trump Jr. was apparently trying to get involved in by taking the meeting with the Russian lawyer. But neither does it end there. DISTORTING DEMOCRACY??? How about the question of making sure that the 2020 Census counts the number of voters accurately? I’d say this might fall into the category of DISTORTING DEMOCRACY.

Anyway, I think these will suffice for examples for one day. But it’s an amusing game you can play at home. Whenever Trump accuses, just look and see that it’s the very thing he’s up to himself.
