Trump takes aim at the usual targets
Trump is on a 17-day vacation but decided to unleash a tweetstorm anyway today. To be honest, this is the kind of rant that he's said so many times it could have been written a week ago and scheduled to publish today.
Here's the first part:
The failing @nytimes,which has made every wrong prediction about me including my big election win (apologized), is totally inept!
The Trump base is far bigger & stronger than ever before (despite some phony Fake News polling). Look at rallies in Penn, Iowa, Ohio and West Virginia. The fact is the Fake News Russian collusion story, record Stock Market, border security, military strength, jobs, Supreme Court pick, economic enthusiasm, deregulation & so much more have driven the Trump base even closer together. Will never change!
Hard to believe that with 24/7 #Fake News on CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, NYTIMES & WAPO, the Trump base is getting stronger!
And the second part:
Interesting to watch Senator Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut talking about hoax Russian collusion when he was a phony Vietnam con artist!
Never in U.S.history has anyone lied or defrauded voters like Senator Richard Blumenthal. He told stories about his Vietnam battles and conquests, how brave he was, and it was all a lie. He cried like a baby and begged for forgiveness like a child. Now he judges collusion?
Four points:
- Shares of the New York Times are at a record high, so maybe he should drop the 'failing New York Times' bit.
- He's exaggerating the Blumenthal said, or at least what's on the record.
- Trump dodged the Vietnam draft
- There's talk that this is a sign that new White House chief of staff Kelly isn't able to control Trump on twitter but I don't see anything here that isn't the regular Trump disinformation or is anything that could get him in trouble. It's more the details of the Russia stuff and legal threats that he needs to control.
