‘TrumpleThinSkin’: Twitter Again Takes Down Trump After President-Elect Bemoans Obama’s Supposed ‘Inflammatory’ Remarks
‘Seriously, Who Among the Professionals on Your Staff Truly Think That This Projects Strength and Confidence’
Donald Trump’s every tweet is now the subject of scorn, ridicule, and mockery as the President-elect continues to reveal himself as a thin-skinned, self-obsessed lying narcissist. Tuesday night Trump took credit for a rise in December’s Consumer Confidence Index, drawing mockery. And Wednesday morning the Tweeter-in-Chief took to Twitter to bemoan what he says are President Barack Obama’s “roadblocks” and “inflammatory” statements, which he claims he is trying to disregard.
Doing my best to disregard the many inflammatory President O statements and roadblocks.Thought it was going to be a smooth transition – NOT!

Trump did not specify which of President Obama’s comments he thinks are “inflammatory” – Obama did recently say he throught he could have beaten Trump were he allowed to run for a third term – but as one person on the social media site noted, the actual Commander-in-Chief met with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe at Pearl Harbor Tuesday, so perhaps Trump is trying to look “presidential” or just get attention:

Of course, the Obama administration has bent over backwards to support and assist in the transition, while the president-elect has forgotten the long-standing tradition that America has just one president at a time.
All of this earned Trump the nickname “TrumpleThinSkin”:

Meanwhile, many on Twitter mocked Trump for his thin-skin, and his inability to let even the tiniest slight go by:
Obama has REALLY gotten under Trump’s skin. https://t.co/xmKPnNP5rR

@realDonaldTrump By “doing your best” does that mean tweet about it every day?

@realDonaldTrump – If you want a smooth transition then stop meddling and remember it’s not your job until 01/20/17. POTUS is still Obama.
