Donald Trump is trolling Donald Trump on Twitter - CNNPolitics.com
A lesson in negotiations -- and what to do if they fail
After Republicans agreed with Democrats on a deal to avert the fiscal cliff in 2013, Trump registered his dismay, saying of the GOP, "Just shows that you can have all the cards and lose if you don't know what you're doing."
More than four years later, those words were rehashed by Democrats delighting in the demise of Trumpcare. When Trump publicly blamed House Freedom Caucus members for derailing the widely unpopular bill, another old tweet -- quoting a Trump favorite, Henry Ford -- resurfaced:
"'Don't find fault. Find a remedy.' --Henry Ford"
Protests for me but not for thee
Trump initially believed that Republican challenger Mitt Romney had won the the popular vote on the night Obama secured re-election in 2012. This perceived injustice upset Trump mightily. So he called for a protest.
"We can't let this happen," he tweeted. "We should march on Washington and stop this travesty. Our nation is totally divided!"
But Trump, then president-elect, changed his tune four years later, condemning protesters in the aftermath of his own election.
"Just had a very open and successful presidential election. Now professional protesters, incited by the media, are protesting," he tweeted. "Very unfair!"
About the electoral college...
Compounding the irony, of course, is that Trump himself won under precisely the circumstances -- with the popular vote winner losing the election -- he called a "travesty" four years earlier.
"The electoral college is a disaster for a democracy," he declared that night in 2012.
Reflecting on his triumph, Trump offered a revised take in 2016.
"The Electoral College is actually genius," he tweeted, "in that it brings all states, including the smaller ones, into play. Campaigning is much different!"
