The alleged president's press secretary scolded a reporter for a factually accurate tweet because the reporter didn't say "President" before Trump.
First, the press isn't required to drizzle adoration and respect on our President--to the contrary, we want them to be critical. 1/x
Second, this isn't freaking North Korea. None of us are required to say "Great Leader" before this incompetent grifter's name, any more than--unlike Kayleigh--we're required to call his incompetent bumbling genius or his extortion of our ally a "perfect" call. 2/x
My father (pictured) enlisted in WWII to fight the murderous Nazis. I'll be damned if I let the lying sh*tweasels that are their slimy imitators of today tell us what we can or cannot say when we communicate with our fellow Americans.

So, with all due respect, press sect'y, FU.
Fourth, any press secretary with a shred of competence or ethics would know all that and would have something else to do but tweet. Except in this administration, the whole point is to avoid a discussion of actual facts and documented lies--instead you distract. 4/x
And so here we are, America. We have a Constitution and a First Amendment, but we also have a White House-sized clown car full of would-be fascists who demand fealty over the facts, and the daily distraction over a clinical discussion of their incompetence that's killing us. 5/6
Third, it is particularly tone-deaf and historically stupid for someone who works for Mango Mussolini to insist he be referred to as "President" in every tweet, when the barking clown she works for tweeted about a thousand times about Obama without putting President in front. 3/x
