Trump's first tweet this morning: "Any negative polls are fake news" [View all]

Donald J. Trump ?@realDonaldTrump 6m6 minutes ago

Any negative polls are fake news, just like the CNN, ABC, NBC polls in the election. Sorry, people want border security and extreme vetting.

This is not normal.

Edit to add:

I call my own shots, largely based on an accumulation of data, and everyone knows it. Some FAKE NEWS media, in order to marginalize, lies!

He sounds like a psychopath, for real.
