If he had actually watched the interview he would have seen Sanders was using the term to mock Trump and immediately clarified that he was joking about CNN coverage being fake.

All Trump is doing with these tweets is to call attention to his failings-his rocky relationship with China, ethics failings in his failure to separate family business from his position as President, and the Russia scandal involving Flynn.

Psychologists are breaking with the Goldwater rule at the glaring instability of 45. The latest I heard was a suspected diagnosis of "malignant narcissist disorder."
