I just turn my back for a day, Donald, and we've got almost a dozen tweets to go over. Sunday is a day of rest, Donald!
(As always, tweets reorganized to group similar topics together.)
===
► The #FakeNews MSM doesn't report the great economic news since Election Day. #DOW up 16%. #NASDAQ up 19.5%. Drilling & energy sector……way up. Regulations way down. 600,000+ new jobs added. Unemployment down to 4.3%. Business and economic enthusiasm way up- record levels! [1]
Um … yeah, I'm pretty sure the Mainstream Media has reported on all those things. For example, the Dow and NASDAQ are being paid attention to on, gosh, a daily basis. [7]
Of course, there's also a case to be made that all that sound and fury, Donald, isn't signifying much of anything, and that your wrap-up across two tweets either indicates trends that were already in action, old news, or misrepresentation of the facts. [8]
► The Democrats have no message, not on economics, not on taxes, not on jobs, not on failing #Obamacare. They are only OBSTRUCTIONISTS! [3]
Given that the GOP's role in the entire last administration was as admitted obstructionists, this is a huge belly laugh, Donald.
► Great numbers on the economy. All of our work, including the passage of many bills & regulation killing Executive Orders, now kicking in! [6]
It would be great, Donald, if you could actually point to an actual "great number on the economy" and point to how "all your work … now kicking in" was responsible. Because otherwise I have to rate this with as much impact as "tastes great" and "less filling."
===
► I believe the James Comey leaks will be far more prevalent than anyone ever thought possible. Totally illegal? Very 'cowardly!' [2]
Oh, Donald — it's always so cute when you call people names. And so presidential.
But let me parse this a bit. First, are you implying that James Comey is behind all the leaks in your administration so far? That would be remarkable.
The question is, do you really believe that, or is it just a way of raising talking points for your Fox & Friends friends to natter about. Maybe if "Judge Nap" agrees with you on the air, all this silly Russia stuff will go away!
Next, you render a legal judgment, but keep it real(ish) by putting a question mark after it. Have you talked with your lawyer about whether Comey's one admitted leak (or maybe if he did all the leaks, which would be so cool, because then you would know that everyone else is loyal, just that non-loyal traitor Comey who you were smart enough to fire, stopping all the leaks that were happening, except it hasn't) is illegal? If only you had, oh, I don't know, a huge department that was all about legal stuff and justice and all of that — maybe they could weigh in here.
And, finally, "cowardly." Heh. So, when are you going to testify before the Senate under oath, Mr. President?
You then retweeted some Fox & Friends tweets from last week:
► "Yesterday's hearings provided zero evidence of collusion between our campaign and the Russians because there wasn't any." -@David_Bossie. [4]
Well, if your former Deputy Campaign Manager says it's true, it must be, right Donald?
Hey, those hearings also provided zero evidence of wiretapping of your office, Donald. Or of massive voter fraud in the election. Or of where Jimmy Hoffa's body is. I guess those are fake news stories, too!
► .@GeraldoRivera: Chances of impeachment went from 3% to 0% with Comey's testimony [5]
Well, at least we know a thoroughly objective journalist [9] like Geraldo Rivera backs you, Donald.
Hey, Geraldo — what are the chances of finding some cool swag in Al Capone's secret vault?
===
You and/or your Social Media Minions also tweeted about …
… your daughter Ivanka appearing on Fox & Friends this morning (twice).
(Isn't it interesting, Donald, that Fox & Friends is feeding you so much interesting news, now even crafting tweets perfect for you to retweet … and is then getting all sorts of cool interviews with your daughter, etc.? It's almost like there's a symbiosis going on there. Like they say nice things about you, you say nice things about them, and everyone wins! What could possibly go wrong there?)
