Schiff Blasts Trump Following ‘Noble Prize’ Tweets: ‘Always the Victim, Never the Leader’

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) is expressing his disapproval of some of President Donald Trump’s latest tweets.

The California lawmaker recently took to Twitter to weigh in on the president’s ranting. With various screenshots of the president’s tweets, Schiff accused him of squandering the advantages he has had in life.

“Was there ever a man born to so much wealth and privilege, Given every advantage and opportunity life has to offer,” Schiff said, adding, “Placed in a position to wield immeasurable influence, Who has squandered it all so thoroughly? Always the victim, never the leader our country deserves.”

Schiff’s tweet followed a string of lashing tweets and retweets targeting reporters and journalists, accusing them of promoting “fake news.”

Trump also found himself at the center of controversy for the misspelling of the word “Nobel” in reference to the Nobel Peace Prize. The president also appeared to confuse the Nobel Prize with the Pulitzer Prize.

In a since-deleted thread of tweets, the president wrote in part:

“When will all of the ‘reporters’ who have received Noble Prizes for their work on Russia, Russia, Russia, only to have been proven totally wrong (and, in fact, it was the other side who committed the crimes) be turning back their cherished ‘Nobles’ so that they can be given to the REAL REPORTERS JOURNALISTS who got it right.”
