Nearly three months into his presidency, and President Donald Trump appears to still sit alone in the morning with Twitter while watching the news.
He published a series of tweets Monday morning while watching cable news, praising Fox and Friends and criticizing other members of the media.

(10,252 posts)I'm no longer shocked and outraged at his stupidity and craven vulgarity. Just more determined that ever to work as hard as I can to unseat my deplorable congressman (Hensarling TX-05). Whenever I meet anyone new, I ask: are you registered to vote? Then make a little speech about universal healthcare, or social security, or affordable education. And the importance of voting in the mid-term elections.

(7,404 posts)Nor even useful in any of Trump's Tweets so why is the media even covering them? Time to boycott the Tweets. If he wants to say something let him do it in a news conference where questions are allowed.

(24,745 posts)With this treasonous ass****, dragging there feet and "trying to deflect" and basically aiding and abetting in this crap, and conveniently forgetting to do this:
"I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion, and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God."

(5,485 posts)this is:
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
He has a YUUUUGE lifeline/loophole available here with the 'best of my ability' wording, since he obviously has NO ability whatsoever.

So help me God. This section does not affect other oaths required by law."
As for the sexual predator he and his treasonous team and the congress that are letting him get away with this shit should be voted out of office, and staring this year in the off year elections mt predictions will be some changes.

(46,780 posts)that he's out of his league.
If he makes it to the third year of his first term and begins the reelection process, his opponent will have a mountain of ammunition to select from with these nutty tweets.
One campaign promise that might get his opponent elected by default: "I swear I will not tweet like Trump."

(12 posts)Every time he goes on one of these idiotic 2 in the morning rants it's almost without fail before something big drops. So what do you think it is this time? Giuliani trying to flip and being rebuked? Trumpy on tape asking for Russian help? Carter Page just everything in general really.
Some of the noisier twitter critters are saying expect arrests within 10 days.
I'm not saying its happening but I would place a few bets....

(1,907 posts)When dipshit donnie said he was going to release results steve "stoopid" doocey said he was excited he might get to see dipshit donnie's "lab samples". Now let that sink in. He said "lab samples" not lab results. I wonder if he ever got to see them? Maybe he even got to hold them.
