Trump is a blowhard bully who will never be president.

Never pick a fight with someone who buys ink by the barrel.... Mark Twain.

"Never pick a fight with someone who buys ink by the barrel.... Mark Twain"

A very poorly thought out quote that I have never subscribed to. Such mentality defaults the media as omnipotent, and it has gone to their heads.

I appreciate Mr. Trump for simply calling out the MSM and taking the fight to them. This has been a long time in coming, and most people who are observing the battle don't seem to understand the tactics being employed by either side, or simply don't care to acknowledge them.

“Trump is a blowhard bully who will never be president.”

No, he’s defending himself against unfair coverage. It’s understandable that you would be confused on that point, since no one else has ever stood up to the press before like this. It shows how screwed up the rules of the game have been for so long, that someone standing up to the media bully is now being called the bully.


“Never pick a fight with someone who buys ink by the barrel.... Mark Twain.”

Mark Twain was a great writer, and that was a clever saying, but these are different times. No single media outlet has a monopoly on information anymore.

It’s funny how you use that quote by Mark Twain and then accuse Trump of being the bully. If you accept Mark Twain’s quote then a better characterization of what’s happening would be David (Trump)taking on Goliath (the press, who you should never pick a fight with because they buy ink by the barrel).
