This is the President of the United States.

[C_U_L8R]

1. Laughing at you.

You dingleberry.

[janterry]

27. + 1000

Yup.

[Snotcicles]

72. He could hear them in the background when he called Putin today. nt

[HipChick]

2. Not the legitimate PoTuS...

and just trying to create diversions to take the Sunday morning shows off topic..

[oberliner]

5. He sure seems moved by the time he spent with the victims of the school shooting

[smirkymonkey]

3. Yes, they are laughing their asses off. At YOU!

And how easy it is to manipulate you and get you to do their bidding. God, he is so fucking dense!

[chuckstevens]

4. Desperate and Delusional!

[Jarqui]

6. Indeed. Obstructing the FBI from seeing what Russia actually did would make Russia SAD!!

[dchill]

7. "Get smart America!" So, it's not Don Trump....

It's Don Adams!

[oberliner]

9. No tough talk directed at Russia

No statement about what he is going to do moving forward to stop them.

[dchill]

14. Not now, not ever.

I have a feeling he's getting regular warnings from Putin. I'd really hate to be him - but I guess that goes without saying.

[poboy2]

60. Day 3 of the dog that refuses to bark. -eom

[underpants]

20. He missed it by thaaat much

[dchill]

33. Sorry, chief.

[hatrack]

22. He'd better call Putin on the Shoe Phone

[milestogo]

8. "Party hatred" - says the doofus who blames everything on the Democrats

[Marcuse]

68. The Defendant is still campaigning against Hillary.

[spanone]

10. he' one twisted fuck.

[malaise]

13. DIng ding we have a winner

[spanone]

21. Bwahahahahaaa...

[Ferrets are Cool]

11. O M F G!!

[Hugin]

15. Soooo...

Who do you think really penned this tweet?

It obviously wasn't Twitler or any of the Children of the Candy Corn Skidmark.

Doesn't sound like a lawyer either.

[oberliner]

16. This seems like a Trump wrote it himself tweet

[Hugin]

26. I don't think so and here's why...

#1: It uses a vocabulary that is way beyond Trump's historically verified limited set of go to blathering.
#2: It is approximately grammatically correct and is written in a form of flow close to a paragraph.
#3: Either the Gibboon has discovered the spell check or has suddenly recovered his knowledge of spelling.

and, the most compelling reason...

#4: Notice the unusual (for Americans) capitalization of certain words. Which is consistently used in this tweet. Only seen in the writings of a select group of writers. The people I've ever encountered who write with that trait are Western Europeans who have learned English as a second language. The only person I know of in Trump's inner most circle who might do this is Melania, but, I doubt she is helping or would be allowed to help him with his tweet fests at this point. She's female and not Ivanka.

[Zoonart]

29. I think Melania is

his handler.

[Hugin]

37. I'm beginning to think so too, Zoonart.

At least part of the time.
They must hand him off.

Probably a schedule posted on the wall of the Food Corral in the WH.

I can hear Kelly hollering, "Jarvanka! You're up!"

[oberliner]

30. Trump does that capitalization of random words quite a lot

It reads like him - or someone trying to approximate his tweeting style.

[Hugin]

34. My point is, in this tweet it is not random words which are capitalized.

They are exactly consistent. Not like his usual stream of unconsciousness babbling.

Also, the punctuation is there... And, is close to correct. Except, there is no Oxford comma in the list. The Dotard is far too impatient for such things as punctuation.

"U.S."? When was the last time you saw it written like this outside of a news article?

Well, either he's tweeting from someone else's phone set to English instead of American English or he is dictating his tweets.

Believe as you wish, I choose to believe that like the Election, he is getting a whole lot of help to make it through the day.

[oberliner]

36. What is your theory on who wrote the tweet?

[Hugin]

38. It seems to vary depending on who is available.

and Trump "Trusts".

This is why the writing style is so inconsistent.

I do believe the content originates from Trump himself, though.

He's too lazy and his attention span is too short to even tweet.

I don't know if you recall the story of Trump grabbing some National Security specialist and ordering her to rewrite some memo awhile back. He treated her like clerical help and she was reportedly quite upset about the incident. Then Kelly doubled down and yelled at her to do as instructed.

It was only one yarn of many related to the dysfunctional command dynamics in the WH.

[oberliner]

39. Yes, I would agree that he has handlers writing his tweets sometimes

Stephen Miller seems like someone in the mix.

[Hugin]

41. I don't know much about Miller, but, I could see him in the mix.

or (this is even more terrifying) maybe Trump is selling Tweet-as-Trump opportunities. Commoditising Propaganda as part of his "Brand".

It would be like him to make a buck off of it...

[maddiemom]

66. Would love to see Ronan Farrow interview Stephen Miller!

An actual genius interviewing someone who truly THINKS he's a genius.

[MontanaMama]

63. Hope Hicks?

She might have some extra time on her hands these days now that Rob isn’t coming to work everyday. Maybe Stephen Miller? John Kelly? I agree that Dotard didn’t write the tweet. The words chaos and discord in one sentence disqualify him as the author.

[oberliner]

67. Discord and chaos - he could be regurgitating those words from Fox News

All their pundits are using them.

[MontanaMama]

70. You brave soul!

I can’t bear to turn trump tv on even for a minute.

[oberliner]

71. I can only handle them in text or tweet form

I can't actually watch the show - but I do try to read what they are saying.

[Hugin]

74. It is a definite possibility...

given her supposed role in "Strategic Communications".

If not this tweet, I could see her hand in others. Maybe, she helps Trump with the tweet machine along with the steam machine.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

57. Actually, a lot of Americans use capitalization incorrectly.

We even see it on DU from time to time. It seems to be a way some poor or inexperienced writers try to emphasize words. The capitalization of nouns is a distinctive characteristic of the German language but not of Russian or Slovenian - and while Germans capitalize all nouns, in this tweet only some nouns are capitalized. Maybe someone else did write this one but I don't think this quirk is an indication of that possibility.

[Hugin]

61. There is the punctuation, too.

I don't see Trumperfeller spending the time to punctuate on his phone... Unless, it's to add too many extra exclamation points.

That is hard work, there.

Also, you should note the use of the correct, "Their". Which evidence proves is way beyond his meager abilities.

Believe as you wish.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

62. Could be. I was just pointing out that the incorrect and erratic capitalization,

which is common in Trump's own posts, isn't proof someone else wrote this one. Maybe he's getting better at writing tweets because he does so much of it? This one is better than most of them but it's still semi-literate, and while the White House is full of buffoons, I don't know how many semi-literate buffoons are working there.

[Hugin]

73. I was glad to see someone knew what I was refering to, VO.

Although, we disagree on it's applicability of it's use in determining the possible authorship of this particular tweet.

While we're engaged in creative speculation, I think this tweet was written by someone using a keyboard or tablet and not directly into a smart phone.

Your thoughts?

[2naSalit]

44. I agree

the first clue was the punctuation. I think someone else tried to sound like the idiot, but they can't make up stupid like he does and so the slights don't work like the idiot's do. Wasn't cheato who wrote this one.

[OnDoutside]

17. This has the whiff of piss and desperation.

[workinclasszero]

18. Yeah they are laughing their asses off in Moscow

over the blackmail material they have on Shitler, I have no doubt!

[Cracklin Charlie]

19. We dont care what Moscow laughs at.

Resign.

[Chemisse]

23. Russia has been in giggle fits since you won the GOP nomination.

They could not have dreamed of a more controllable candidate, and a more complacent electorate.

I think the indictments have wiped the smiles off their faces. Fun time is almost over for them. The US is finally fighting back.

[LuckyCharms]

24. Don't have a stroke, Donald.

That would be awful.

[Codeine]

25. Vlad told me himself, this morning

as we were having our morning sexting!

[IluvPitties]

28. Yes they are laughing because of YOU, idiot.

[randr]

31. I seriously doubt they are happy

Now that their plans have been exposed the joy they felt on Trumps election has likely turned sour.

[JHB]

32. "All of the Committee hearings, Investigations and Party hatred"?

Those have been the modus operandi of the Republican Party for a quarter century.

You should know, you capitalized on it.

[Me.]

35. How Would He Know?

Aaah, right.

[R B Garr]

40. Hasnt he been harping Russia is a ruse? A hoax?

Now he’s the expert on what they are/we’re trying to do...

[mountain grammy]

42. trumpers have made us the laughing stock of the world.

[getagrip_already]

43. Did the POTUS just curse in an official communication?

Is this a first?

[humbled_opinion]

45. Dangerous precedent

Now any disagreement with him or political counterpoint will be viewed as Democrats working with the Kremlin to sow political discord in the USA, these indictments have done more harm then good in my opinion.

[oberliner]

47. Dangerous president

Sorry - couldn't resist.

[Downtown Hound]

46. He must have have them when he called them on the phone looking for advice. n/t

[Tommy_Carcetti]

48. So if we had only shut up and accepted the fact Russia interfered to get him elected...

...we’d all be much happier now. Am I right?

[Chalco]

49. The more he deflects, the more it substantiates his guilt. nt

[duforsure]

50. Does he know

How incredibly stupid, and incompetent he makes himself look on a daily basis? Puppets don't have brains, and it shows.

[Heartstrings]

51. And his base is sucking that up

Most likely off the floor, not enough class to use a straw.....

Moron.....

[Tatiana]

52. Miller wrote this.

He's probably next in Mueller's line of sight.

[NRaleighLiberal]

53. so we have an Animal House president. SAD

[C_U_L8R]

54. Get smart America!

a.k.a.

[orangecrush]

55. God help us.

[appleannie1943]

56. They are laughing at how easily they can control you jackass. They think you look cute down on

your knees in front of them.

[dlk]

58. Unfortunately, There is Truth in This Tweet

Russians are brilliant when it comes to covert ops and they won this round, hands down. Let's hope we learn from it and do better.

[Mountain Mule]

59. Yeah, and they were congratulating themselves on election night a year ago

Isn't it grand to have a psychopath running the country?

He's more worried about laughter in Moscow than he is the well-being of our country. God, how I loathe the orange entity in the White House.

I want my country back!

Walk with pride, Trumpers. You’re the freaks now.

[Mc Mike]

80. I remember D Rump, Sergey and Sergei laughing their asses off in the Oval Office.

There's pics of it and everything. Only Russian media could get into the event, though, so those pics came from Russia's 'news' service.
