What Donald Trump's Latest Twitter Fit Really Shows Us

Donald Trump continues to whine and throw a fit over social media when things don't go his way.

What Donald Trump's Latest Twitter Fit Really Shows Us
CNN

Early Friday morning, Donald Trump once again took to Twitter to share his angry thoughts with the world. This time, his tweets were directed at Hillary Clinton and Miss Universe winner Alicia Machado. Alicia Machado was brought up by Hillary Clinton during Monday's presidential debate as further proof of Donald Trump's horrible treatment of women. After her Miss Universe win, Machado gained weight, something Trump and his organization handled awfully. She was reportedly forced into an exercise regime to lose weight, and was called "Miss Piggy" and "Miss Housekeeping." Hillary Clinton used these comments to further cement public perception that Donald Trump has a history of misogynistic comments and actions toward women.

Rather than apologize or try to clarify his statements, Trump doubled down on them Friday morning, unleashing the following stream of tweets.



Ask yourself, is this the behavior of a President? This is a man who can so easily be baited into Twitter rants and insensitive comments. His pride and ego are so fragile that any injury to them at all causes Trump to lash out. He refuses to apologize or even acknowledge the fact that sometimes he's wrong.

Look at the language in these tweets. He calls his opponent for the presidency, a former Secretary of State, Senator, and First Lady, "crooked." He refers to Alicia Machado as "disgusting" and a "con." He questions her citizenship and alleges that she has a less than respectable past. Donald Trump's strategy is to paint others as repulsive and ignorant so no one will truly see that that's who he is.

This recent Twitter storm is reminiscent of Trump's feud with the Khan family from earlier this Summer, during which Donald Trump continually insulted and degraded Khizr and Ghazala Khan, who lost their son Humayun during the war in Iraq. The Khan family had been outspoken opponents of Trump's views on Muslims and immigration policy. Rather than treat the Khan's with the respect that a Gold Star family, or any human being, deserves, Trump felt the immediate need to defend himself and renounce himself of any wrongdoing.

Donald J. Trump is the Republican Party's nominee for the Presidency of the United States of America. This is a man who refuses to show an ounce of respect for his political opponent, who continually degrades women and uses deplorable terms to describe them, who refuses to apologize when every indication shows that he's wrong. Donald Trump cannot and will not ever take responsibility for his actions. He acts like a petulant teenager and whines over Twitter when things don't go his way. How on Earth can anyone in good conscience vote this man into the highest office in the land?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
