Says Trump Jr. ‘Scorned’ by ‘Fake News Media’
Donald Trump, expected to spend his third straight day today watching the women’s golf tournament at his club in New Jersey, began his latest Twitter tantrum at 6:35 AM Sunday morning.

“HillaryClinton can illegally get the questions to the Debate & delete 33,000 emails but my son Don is being scorned by the Fake News Media?†Trump wrote:
He then turned back to women’s golf, thanking his supporters “who far out-numbered the protesters,†something the President of the United States called “very cool!â€
Trump then thanked former campaign adviser Michael Caputo, who testified before the House Intelligence Committee on Friday in closed session, for “saying so powerfully that there was no Russian collusion in our winning campaign.â€
