Ha-ha.

When children misuse their toys, parents TAKE AWAY the toys.

@realDonaldTrump took no questions today.
It's weird:

As I was watching, I had a mind movie about the questioning.

I reflected on the fact that the questions as ALWAYS ASKED IN BAD FAITH.

Here's what I imagined Trump saying:
"Look, we all know that you're not asking that for any reason other than to sow doubt among the public. We just had someone tell you that we've done in weeks what took years to accomplish, but you ignored that."
"Instead, you want me to be perpetually on the defensive. All you do is bring up criticism that ALWAYS turns out to be unfounded. This is a giant waste of time."

And then he walked out without taking questions!

He did something even smarter--of course--than I anticipated.
He got everyone to tune in by creating a media firestorm yesterday, and then today he showed his utter contempt for the press.

They were stunned.

Trump showed them that THEY need HIM, but he DOESN'T NEED them.

The coverage of Trump in 2016 was virtually wholly negative.
And yet he won because he knows that enough people don't get their opinions from news anchors and pundits.

I keep telling you:

All Trump needs is 270 electoral votes.

And that's what he's shooting for.
Trump is very cleverly allowing moronic journalists and pundits go on and on about how many people are applying for and getting unemployment benefits.

That means those people will be fine.

Everybody's fiddling with the statistics to hurt Trump.
They comparing this unprecedented situation to previous employment crises.

The problem is that this bears no resemblance to anything that came before.

This is a voluntary pause in the economy. It's never happened before.
What we're seeing is what's called a "paper loss."

My net worth is down 50 percent...ON PAPER.

If I get out of the stock market, my paper loss becomes a REAL loss.

But I'm staying in, so my net worth will be restored.
It's the same with the economy.

When you have time, watch this.
They all say the same thing:

People are stupider than ever before.

The language is rough, but that comes with the territory.

They're all veterans.
Maybe nobody will ever understand that Trump doesn't do things unless he's planned them out.

"Trump's impulsive!" is the stupidest thing I ever heard.

I'll tell you presidential impulsivity.
Barack Obama IMPROVISED his threat to Bashar al-Assad that the use of chemical weapons was a "red line."

In reality, we had no retaliation planned, so Assad went on and used them again.
People criticize Trump for ordering the navy to fire BGM-109 Tomahawk Land Missiles (TLAMs) at Shayrat Air Base after Assad used chemical weapons.
To this day, I haven't seen a single "expert" recognize what actually happened.

Assad's aircraft were parked in hardened aircraft shelters, but they were still destroyed.
AND.

All the shelters had one small hole in the top.
Only one weapon in the world has that signature.

The GBU-39 Small Diameter Bomb (SDB).
This is how it works.
The bomb damage on the inner walls of the shelters exactly matches the effects of the SDB.
Trump fired the Tomahawks as STRATEGIC DECEPTION.

The high-explosive warheads of the Tomahawks destroy structures.

The GBU-39 SDBs destroyed 20 percent of Assad's air force.

AND.
The GBU-39s were dropped by aircraft that got through state-pf-the-art Russian air defenses as if those defense didn't exist.

They weren't American aircraft. They were our Middle Eastern allies' aircraft.
The aircraft went in after the barrage of Tomahawk missiles had hit their targets.

They orbited nearby, invisible to the Russian air defenses.

It was a hell of an operation, pulled off perfectly.
Trump has the power to cloud minds on a global scale.

I've never seen anything like it.

The economic recovery will blow everybody's socks off.

And Trump will begin to fight with no mercy.

Watch it happen.
