Donald Trump slams critics questioning fitness – Boston Herald

Fitness Comments Off on Donald Trump slams critics questioning fitness – Boston Herald

President Trump fired back yesterday against Washington critics and cable news pundits playing armchair psychiatrist as they claim he is unfit to continue serving in the Oval Office.

Trump took to Twitter to slam former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, who doubted the presidents stability after his wild campaign-style rally Tuesday night in Arizona.

James Clapper, who famously got caught lying to Congress, is now an authority on Donald Trump, tweeted Trump. Will he show you his beautiful letter to me?

Its unclear what letter Trump was referring to assuming one even exists and if it is indeed beautiful.

But the presidents tweets indicate he is still ready to take shots at critics by resurrecting their old controversies for the benefit of his tens of millions of followers.

When asked during a 2013 congressional hearing whether the National Security Agency collects any type of data at all on millions of Americans, Clapper told Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon: No, sir. ... Not wittingly.

But three months later, both The Washington Post and The Guardian posted articles, from information given to them by Edward Snowden, revealing the NSA had collected metadata from phone companies about U.S. citizens.

Ironically, Trump wouldnt have the ammo to cyber-lob at Clapper in the first place had it not been for leaks to the media, which Trump has condemned, and for Snowden himself, who Trump at the time called a terrible traitor and ... you know what we used to do to traitors.

Clapper, who most recently served under President Obama, said on CNN Tuesday night that he found it pretty damn scary that Trump could, in a fit of pique, decide to do something about Kim Jong Un, North Koreas rogue dictator.

I really question his ability to be his fitness to be in this office, and I also am beginning to wonder about his motivation for it, Clapper said.

Trump also blasted his frequent target, the mainstream news media, for their coverage of his Arizona rally. CNN anchor Don Lemon in particular appeared to jettison the principles of impartial journalism by unleashing a tirade of insults at Trump on the air calling him unhinged, petty, small, like a child blaming a sibling and critiquing his speech as without thought, without reason, devoid of facts and no sanity.

The network then wallpapered the screen with boxes of pundits who assessed Trump as mentally unstable, psychotically demented, and bat-crap crazy.

The Fake News is now complaining about my different types of back to back speeches, Trump tweeted yesterday. Well, there was Afghanistan (somber), the big Rally (enthusiastic, dynamic and fun) and the American Legion V.A. (respectful and strong). Too bad the Dems have no one who can change tones!

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders also jabbed back at Republican Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker, who claimed Trump hasnt been able to demonstrate the ability nor some of the competence ... to be successful and that he doesnt understand the character of the nation.

I think thats a ridiculous and outrageous claim and it doesnt even require a response from this podium, Sanders said.

Trump also sought to downplay a report in The New York Times that he and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell are no longer on speaking terms. But in doing so, he took another jab at his partys Senate leader, saying his only problem with him is that he failed after seven years of promising to repeal Obamacare.
