Trump Blasts ‘Unfair’ Protesters of His Election on Twitter, Then Backtracks

Donald Trump’s fragile ego couldn’t hold off for long with the insults and the whining on Twitter. For someone who has just been elected the leader of a democracy, his tweet suggested he doesn’t approve of the people’s right to protest.

Last night he tweeted a reaction to the demonstrations that have taken over major cities protesting his election win:

“Just had a very open and successful presidential election. Now professional protesters, incited by the media, are protesting. Very unfair!”

Violent or not, this is what democracy looks like.

Nine hours later he (or someone in his circle) appeared to backtrack on that sentiment:

“Love the fact that the small groups of protesters last night have passion for our great country. We will all come together and be proud!”
