…#Trump rejoiced over #StephenColbert’s cancellation posting, “I absolutely love” that the host “got fired.” He followed it with: “I hear Jimmy Kimmel is next.” Just 2 months later, ABC…temporarily suspended Kimmel….

What we should take from this is that a US President who is such a narcissist and so thin-skinned that he cannot take even a humorous criticism. -
