He is sweating over the recount, which is quite irrational, because the recount isn't going to change anything.

You won Donnie, now put the toys down, and get to work.

I think it's some of both. Of course he's overblowing the point and some of the criticism aimed at him was fair....just like FOX went after Hillary unfairly, several other outlets were clearly biased against Trump.

He's going to make all these horrible changes vs. he's going back on everything and will be the status quo.

Also we have the other conflicting meme about how he can't put together a cabinet fast enough and he is putting together a cabinet that will start ww3 and teach creationism in schools etc.

Basically, it's the same general mindless panic and lashing out that we saw after the 2008 election.

Irrational whining, hand wringing and apocalyptic predictions.
So true.

Now we have taken some hits from this administration for the last eight years that could be realized down the road... but nothing causing an immediate apocalypse.

To add/
His speeches were 90% bash Hillary affairs,now that Hillary has basically left the building he hasnt much to say so the right is going to continue to keep Hillary as a focal point of their need to hate.
They won everything and now instead of putting together viable strategies to "make America great again"they are continuing to waste time bashing Hillary.obsessive compulsive behavior IMO.

He is freaking out because CNN called his claim baseless.

Trump said 3 million illegals voted in the elections, and offered 0% proof for it, so his claim baseless. CNN is correct this time.

Trump is extremely sensitive to any criticism, so I think it is going to be a very long 4 years for him.

As I turn on CNN I always say to myself "I wonder what kind of Trump Bashing they are doing now". Low and Behold, every time, some kind of Trump bashing. So silly. This morning they were still talking about his tax returns and how we need to demand he release them. LOL..

Good. He promised to release them, so it's good he is called out to fulfill the promise.

How is that bashing?

Should the president be a taboo? How PC is PC enough?

Trump has to put the Election behind him and the Country in from of him.

Great he won. That is the beginning not the end.

People are watching him closely.

Yes CNN is liberal as is the entire entertainment mainstream talk shows and media which target the younger generations. Fox is really no better. Just another propaganda media outlet with clean shaven stiffs wearing red ties pretending to be the conservative network and source of truth.

Telling 80% of the truth is still not the whole truth.

Trump time to get to work, and no I'm not talking about your gold plated "Make America Great Again" hat.

That is not going to cut it.

That could be. The whole "Hamilton" kerfuffle made a nice distraction from his $25 million fraud settlement. He is certainly good at keeping both his detractors and supporters more focused on what he is saying rather than what he is doing.

Because corruption, lies, and brainwashing matters to people who are not liberals.
