Trump Tries to Defend Nocturnal Twitter Rage
After bearing massive condemnation for the offensive and unhinged tweets he sent starting at 3 AM EDT Friday morning, and ending after 5:30 AM, Donald Trump Friday afternoon took to Twitter to post a defense of his ugly remarks.
Trump had first warned supporters at 3:20 AM EDT, “DO NOT believe” media reports “saying ‘sources said,'” because “they are just made up lies!”
