ARGUMENT FROM SIGN
Trump
The race for Democratic National Committee Chairman was, of course, totally "rigged." Bernie's guy, like Bernie himself, never had a chance. Clinton demanded Perez!
AD HOMINEM
Trump
For first time the failing @nytimes will take an ad (a bad one) to help save its failing reputation. Try reporting accurately & fairly!
AD HOMINEM

Jeff Sessions is an honest man. He did not say anything wrong. He could have stated his response more accurately, but it was clearly not ...intentional. This whole narrative is a way of saving face for Democrats losing an election that everyone thought they were supposed to win
ARGUMENT FROM BEST EXPLANATION
Trump
The Democrats are overplaying their hand. They lost the election, and now they have lost their grip on reality. The real stoRY .is all of the illegal leaks of classified and other information. It is a total "witch hunt!"
AD HOMINEM

It is so pathetic that the Dems have still not approved my full Cabinet.

I'd bet a good lawyer could make a great case out of the fact that President Obama was tapping my phones in October, just prior to Election!
ARGUMENT FROM CONSEQUENCES
Trump
How low has President Obama gone to tapp my phones during the very sacred election process. This is Nixon/Watergate. Bad (or sick) guy!

AD HOMINEM
Trump
The failing @nytimes finally gets it - "In places where no insurance company offers plans, there will be no way for ObamaCare customers to use subsidies to buy health plans." In other words, Ocare is dead. Good things will happen, however, either with Republicans or Dems.
AD HOMINEM
Trump
Wow, @FoxNews just reporting big news. Source: "Official behind unmasking is high up. Known Intel official is responsible. Some unmasked not associated with Russia. Trump team spied on before he was nominated." If this is true, does not get much bigger. Would be sad for U.S.
