Trump's Twitter Temper Tantrums



President-elect Donald Trump lost his temper with a chap called Chuck Jones, President of the United Steelworkers in Indiana, who criticised Trump's claim to have saved more than 1,000 jobs at the career steel plant in Indianapolis.

The union leader said that the terms of the deal with Carrier were being exaggerated by Team Trump and that the President-elect had "lied his ass off" at a press conference on 1 December 2016.

 Trump responded with two angry tweets in quick succession which looked and sounded less than Presidential.

Back worse was to follow when it emerged that back in March 2016 the Vice President-elect had a much more generous view of Chuck Jones and the local United Steelworkers branch.

Appreciate the chance to meet w/ Chuck Jones & hardworking men of Local 1999 about our efforts to save Carrier jobs

"First and foremost, before we all go on a mad seagull killing frenzy. In the U.K it is against the law to kill seagulls or interfere with their nests under the countryside and wildlife act. Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull. Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn...
