One could almost say he’s like a toddler. But he’s the President of the United States so we’ll put that thought on hold. But you know how you say, “Snatch Donald’s lollipop and watch him throw tantrums” (Donald here is only three years old, by the way); and Donald does not disappoint. That’s just what we mean when we say he’s almost like a toddler.

President Trump has been described as predictable by a number of pundits and last night again, he gave another addition to the list of proofs of his predictability.

His opponent in the 2016 presidential election, Hillary Clinton was interviewed by CNN’s Christiane Amanpour at a Women for Women event in New York on Tuesday. In her interview, Clinton reflected on some of the factors she believed contributed to her loss at the election.

Hillary Clinton said, “I take absolute personal responsibility. I was the candidate, I was the person who was on the ballot. I am very aware of the challenges, the problems, the shortfalls that we had…I was on the way to winning until a combination of Jim Comey’s letter on October 28 and Russian WikiLeaks raised doubts in the minds of people who were inclined to vote for me and got scared off….The reason I believe we lost were the intervening events in the last 10 days.”

At some point in the interview, Amanpour joked that President Trump would soon run to Twitter to share an opinion on Clinton’s comments.

GUESS WHAT?

He did. Just as Amanpour imagined, President Trump showed up on his favourite “vent platform” to blast Clinton.

FBI Director Comey was the best thing that ever happened to Hillary Clinton in that he gave her a free pass for many bad deeds! The phony…

…Trump/Russia story was an excuse used by the Democrats as justification for losing the election. Perhaps Trump just ran a great campaign?

The question at the end of his second tweet is a retort to Clinton’s statement about her campaign, “It wasn’t a perfect campaign. There is no such thing,”. For the umpteenth time, Trump also attributed the investigation into the Russian government’s intervention in the US election to a conspiracy against by the Democrats.

Days like this are the type that excite Trump. The narrative is in his favour, although he won the election, he can’t seem to ignore his former opponent. He has made reference to her in tweets about twenty times since he became president.

Unlike him, Clinton won’t be worried about these tweets as she said to Amanpour, “Fine. Better than the interfering in foreign affairs. If he wants to tweet about me then I am happy to be the diversion because we have lot of things to worry about.”
