Trumplethinskin

In early 2018, the American national security apparatus was fixated on reports that North Korea was building nuclear weapons that could reach the U.S. or that Russia was plotting chemical weapons assassinations in Europe. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump was busy targeting his idea of an enemy of the state: late night host Jimmy Kimmel.

The then-president, according to two former Trump administration officials, was so upset by Kimmel’s comedic jabs that he directed his White House staff to call up one of Disney’s top executives in Washington, D.C., to complain and demand action. (ABC, on which Jimmy Kimmel Live! has long aired, is owned by Disney.)

In at least two separate phone calls that occurred around the time Trump was finishing his first year in office, the White House conveyed the severity of his fury with Kimmel to Disney, the ex-officials tell Rolling Stone. Trump’s staff mentioned that the leader of the free world wanted the billion-dollar company to rein in the Trump-trashing ABC host, and that Trump felt that Kimmel had, in the characterization of one former senior administration official, been “very dishonest and doing things that [Trump] would have once sued over.”

And so it turns out the "fuck your feelings" crowd are a bunch of whiny snowflakes.

Perhaps so, but it was conservatives that made such a show of constantly criticizing snowflakes, even coining the term. Plus nobody has thin skin quite like the oh-so-manly Trumpenfuhrer, who constantly dishes out insults but melts down when criticized.

Funny, I read today that His Mango Majesty was really shitting his drawers over Jimmy Kimmel puncturing his thin hide every night on TV. To the point of having his toothless minions screeching his demands at DisneyCorp. Sad f**k.
