An interesting day-plus, Donald. Let's catch up.
===
You retweeted Tucker Carlson:
► .@RichardGrenell : @realDonaldTrump told Tillerson he had the full support of the U.S. Gov't to bring #OttoWarmbier home #Tucker #FoxNews . [1]
This is kind of a random blurb. Carlson went on to suggest in his next tweet that the status of Warmbier (a US citizen held in detention by North Korea) was not a "priority" for the Obama Administration. I don't have any good info on that, but your excerpt here was a bit confusing out of context.
That all said, Warmbier's case is an interesting one. [6] I can certainly understand his parents urgently wanting him returned home, regardless of his medical condition. The two linked questions that one might ask, Donald, is (a) what should the Obama Administration have done to secure Warmbier's release, and (b) what did your administration actually do to do so? Why did the DPRK do this now? They haven't responded to threats in the past, nor to appeals to their better angels — so were they offered something in return? If so, what?
Inquiring minds want to know, Donald.

There was a major story out of the DC area that obviously engaged you yesterday, Donald, and riightly so.
► Rep. Steve Scalise of Louisiana, a true friend and patriot, was badly injured but will fully recover. Our thoughts and prayers are with him. [2]
Later …
► Just left hospital. Rep. Steve Scalise, one of the truly great people, is in very tough shape – but he is a real fighter. Pray for Steve! [3]
I have to give a tip of the hat, Donald — you managed to talk about this in a personal and non-self-aggrandizing manner, evoking sympathy and not pursuing political points. That is presidential.
I do hope for Rep. Scalise's recovery.
Will you be at the Congressional Baseball Game today, Donald?

But as big as the news of the shooting was, you pivoted this morning to what's really on your mind.
► They made up a phony collusion with the Russians story, found zero proof, so now they go for obstruction of justice on the phony story. Nice [4]
► You are witnessing the single greatest WITCH HUNT in American political history – led by some very bad and conflicted people! #MAGA . [5]
See, here's where that whole Twitter thing becomes a problem, because there are a lot of indefinite pronouns going on there, Donald. Who are "they"? Who are these "very bad and conflicted people" leading this effort? (Conflicted?) Are you referring to Robert Mueller? Or do you have other secret enemies directing this attack on you? Who's out to get you with this "WITCH HUNT"? The Democrats? The Dark Government? The Republican Establishment? Obvious Anagram Reince Priebus? (Never trusted that guy!) The Press? The Russians? MI.6?
What makes you say that they have found "zero proof" of collusion with Russia with any members of your team? Have you seen the results of the (ongoing) investigation? Has information been leaked to you?
Even if your conscience is a pure as the driven snow, Donald, can't you see how this looks from the outside? How every move you make, from firing the FBI leading one of the investigations (for a changing array of reasons, but boiling down to your own confession that it was because of the Russia thing), to talking to others about helping quash the FBI's work, how that creates an appearance of guilt that every hyperbolic denial and WITCH HUNTing tweet only helps reinforce?
I mean, you're a salesman, Donald. You understand image. You understand how things look to the customer. If a potential investor said to you, "Donald, I'm not sure about this building — it looks a little shaky, and I read some news reports that claimed you hadn't done an inspection of the ground before building," would you simply bluster, yell about how you were being persecuted, and call it all phony news? Or would you offer to show all the inspection reports, provide the documentation requested, let the investor poke around, and show through openness that you have nothing to hide?
Assuming, of course, you had nothing to hide, Donald.
Interesting times. I wonder what will happen today?

Your Social Media Minions also posted under your name (or maybe you actually posted) …
… your excitement over signing the Fire More VA Workers bill.
… how great your day in Wisconsin was. [Retweeted on @POTUS]
… a retweet of Dan Scavino posting pictures about your Wisconsin trip, and a retweet of Sarah Sanders posting a picture of your Wisconsin trip [both on @POTUS]
… Happy Birthday to the US Army

Newt explains who "they" are:
https://twitter.com/newtgingrich/status/875314161345077248
(typos his)
"Muelleris now clearly the ti[p of the deep state spear aimed at destroying or at a minimum undermining and crippling the Trump presidency."
Tip of the Deep State Spear: Conservative talking point or Kentucky Derby contender?
Also, somewhat hilariously, this is Newt, one month ago:
"Robert Mueller is superb choice to be special counsel. His reputation is impeccable for honesty and integrity. Media should now calm down."

That is two more links to Newt Gingrich than I expected to make this decade.

The new guy call these investigations a witch hunt, but
his obsessive an very abusive constant accusations of Obama and the birth certificate issue, that continued even after he finished both terms of office, he needs to face the music, stop crying, Obama never whined about all the racism, birthing crap, etc. he just trudged on
All Trump's people have to do is release the Presidents's tax records and tell members of the administration to answer the questions put to them in a congressional inquiry.
If we were to go along with them and grant that nothing unthwathed happened on the Russian Front, then, what could be worse than the inference of treason that could be resolved id if materials that are requested could reveal?
What could exist in the venue of disgrace that is worse than that?
Simply deliver the goods.

Did you see they spelled conclusion wrong 😂😂
+Ingrid Berg your a bunch of crap it is a fact he is the worst treated in history
I think you are miss-reading the “zero proof”. Trump is talking about himself only not him staff. Remember it is all about him. That said, even if he had nothing to do with the Russia collusion, he can still be guilty of obstruction of justice.
+Philip Havey I'm not sure that Trump is capable of putting himself in a position where he seems to be following orders from Congress. He's the Boss, so anyone who questions anything about the Administration is disrespecting him, personally. Opening up the books is letting someone boss him around, and acknowledging that someone can.
Aye
The Boss is the Senate and the House, He is suppose to represent the American people, unfortunately He still thinks he is on a construction site
+Lori De Ultimately, the Boss is the citizenry.
Within that structure, each of the branches gets to be Boss about certain things. It's called "checks and balances."
And it won't be over till you're toast. Now run and tell that.
Its called political protocol
