Trump falsely claims, “if you were President and you had a good economy, you were basically immune from criticism.”
President Donald Trump kicked Tuesday off with a stunning declaration: he believes he should be “immune from criticism.”
Trump announced his expectation in an unusually-early, wide-ranging tweetstorm attacking the free press, including The New York Times, Paul Krugman, MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” CNN, and Chris Cuomo. He also attacked the social media platform Twitter and the “Radical Left Democrats.” Starting at 5:59 AM he posted 12 tweets in rapid-fire succession in under two hours.
The President said he longed for the “old days,” when, “if you were President and you had a good economy, you were basically immune from criticism.”
