'It's not cool to not know what you're talking about,' Donald



After the New York Times published a story over the weekend titled "Inside the Failing Mission to Tame Donald Trump’s Tongue," Trump went on a Twitter tirade blasting the New York Times...because when manly men are "attacked," they tweet.

From the story:
In private, Mr. Trump’s mood is often sullen and erratic, his associates say. He veers from barking at members of his staff to grumbling about how he was better off following his own instincts during the primaries and suggesting he should not have heeded their calls for change.

A New York Times reader left this comment with the story...
He doesn't make gaffes. He says what's on his mind and what he believes. Nothing is going to change. What you see and hear is what he is. He cannot be coached or bothered with the facts.

Those cheers and an audience of clinched fists is his drug of choice and he is not going to enter rehab anytime soon.

SIX tweets, one after another calling out the NYT for a story about his campaign. The sweet IRONY of it all is that his tweets prove the premise of the very NYT story that he is claiming is false: that his campaign people can't get him to focus on issues."

But let's let President Obama have the last word:
