There is apparently no news outlet, outside of the National Enquirer, Breitbart, and InfoWars that will escape Trump’s wrath, at this point.
His need to minimize any source that does not grovel for him has reached peak proportions.
Today, the president-elect took aim at NBC’s “Today” show, in a series of spastic tweets.
He apparently took exception to the network not giving him credit for saving jobs.
Totally biased @NBCNews went out of its way to say that the big announcement from Ford, G.M., Lockheed & others that jobs are coming back…

to the U.S., but had nothing to do with TRUMP, is more FAKE NEWS. Ask top CEO's of those companies for real facts. Came back because of me!

No wonder the Today Show on biased @NBC is doing so badly compared to its glorious past. Little credibility!

The story, as reported on NBC, didn’t seem to be a hit piece on Trump, so much as it was an explanation for why some companies are now choosing to stay in the United States, and if you think about their reasoning, it makes sense.
A Tuesday NBC News story detailed how companies like General Motors and Wal-Mart appear to be billing normal or planned job creation as newly spurred, to build a good relationship with Trump and avoid the wrath of the president-elect’s Twitter feed.
And “Today” on Wednesday morning had a segment discussing how some companies’ job creation plans have been months in the making and are not directly influenced by Trump.
This isn’t the first time we’re hearing about this. Trump’s Twitter tantrum is a fine example of why some companies may feel it better to make concessions now, in order to avoid raising his ire.
Right now, it seems like the nation will be run for the next four years from Twitter, unless somebody takes Trump’s internet access away.
We’re still waiting for that to happen.
