Donald Trump released a furious tirade Friday over coverage of his trade tariffs on MSNBC.

The network is a frequent target for Trump, who has claimed it’s a liberal outlet that works in partnership with the Democratic Party. He calls it MSDNC.

Though he doesn’t refer to it directly, his Friday fury followed a Thursday night segment in which host Lawrence O’Donnell called Trump an “illiterate clown” and “a rogue president violating American law on tariffs.”

    I think he’s actually illiterate. When have you seen him read anything for more than a few seconds?

    Who gives a shit. It isnt '15 or '16 anymore. We all know it for a decade now. He’s a moron. We know. Could we focus on the fact that the fucking US is turning into a fascist state?

      Yep. Thousands upon thousands of … shit now I forgot the term, presidential decrees? At least concentrate on those, and, if you would, pick those that really matter. That actively dismantle democracy and directly hurt people. Not some media tiff.

      We need something to chuckle at while we’re taking a break from making IEDs and bioweapons in our terrorist cells.

    “Wahh! MSDNC is biased! I’m going to go to GOPFox news and cry about it! Or better yet MAGANewsmax! They’re much more unbiased because they follow everything I say and never question anything unless it’s a Democrat saying it as any unbiased network should!”
