Tweetizen Trump – 2017-08-14: “Charlottesville sad!”

Well, Donald, there was weekend for you! Crikey, all that sound and fury. Being a President can be such a drag, don’t you think? I mean, you tee up all this cool workforce retraining stuff, and everyone’s busy paying attention to white supremacists marching in Charlottesville. So frustrating!

Anyway, let’s take a look at what’s going on with you and the Twitterverse …

[Being a look at the @RealDonaldTrump Twitter account, with a glance at the @POTUS account, grouped for your topical pleasure.]

Charlottesville

Well, this was the story of the weekend … which, for whatever reason, was met with Twitter silence from you Friday night and Saturday until someone was actually killed there. At which point you boldly stepped forward, condemned the racist, white supremacist protesters that came there to keep the statue of the military leader of a rebellion against the United States in the name of chattel slavery from being taken down …

[Retweeted on @POTUS]

This would be a much more interesting, even inspiring, tweet, Donald, if (a) you were actually calling out the specific racists and bigots who were in Charlottesville to disunite us, and (b) if you ever seemed interested in uniting Americans except when it’s convenient rhetoric for you.

I mean, really, Donald — most of the time you seem to be finding people and groups in this country to attack, to deny their American-ness, to claim that they are out to destroy the nation. Immigrants, Muslims, people of Latin American descent, transgender people, Democrats … calling everyone to be “united” and to “come together as one” feels a bit … disingenuous.

Calling attention to your achievements and hard work at a time like this strikes me as more than a little self-serving, Donald.

You then held a press conference (all of the following were retweeted on @POTUS) …

The video includes your infamous “on many sides, many sides” quip, where you effectively blamed the goings-on in Charlottesville equally on the white supremicists and neo-fascists who met there to “Unite the Right,” and on the anti-racism, anti-fascism counter-protesters who were there to meet them. Moral equivalence is not a game you play well, Donald.

Again, that would be more convincing if you showed any sign of believing it or behaving in accordance with it even half of the time, Donald.  Instead, you and your team target groups like Black Lives Matter and the NAACP; you single out Muslims as a particular threat to the nation, and you regularly denigrate Democrats.

“We have to respect each other. Ideally, we have to love each other.”

You looked so uncomfortable giving this speech, Donald. And saying those words.

And you retweeted:

So it’s a fine and presidential thing to do to sympathize with and offer condolences to the families and friends and colleagues of people who have been killed. It’s a bit odd to emphasize (by tweet count) the deaths of the two Virginia State Police (who died when the helicopter they were using to monitor the disturbances crashed), vs. a woman killed by a Nazi sympathizer driving his car into a crowd of counter-protesters. The former is a tragic accident in the line of duty. The latter is an intentional intent to harm that led to one death and many injuries.

After tweeting some about North Korea, you retweeted:

Again, let me know how odd it is that you (or someone) retweeted a media outlet about this, rather than an actual DoJ announcement.

North Korea!

[Retweeted on @POTUS]

It’s a weird press conference — there were Korea questions (“We’re all prepared!”), then it segued into all sorts of zaniness, as you continued to praise yourself for the great job, very few others have ever done such a good job, in your first six months. Also, you threw Mitch McConnell under the bus some more and ran back and forth several times.

Dan Scavino, your official Social Media Minion, retweeted himself under the @POTUS account:

Since Australia is in missile range, I’m sure they are watching events very carefully, Donald.

Then he did the same again:

Which was the same “If he issues one threat or does anything to American territory” threats that you’ve been saying multiple times this week (even as Kim has continued to utter threats).

You retweeted:

Honestly, as the guy who’s out there with the cross-hairs on him, I’d be sucking up to you, too, Donald.

And you also retweeted:

“He’s believed because he’s so unpredictable.” Well, I don’t know that I’d characterize it as “believed” as much as “feared,” as one might “fear” a lunatic waving around a gun.

Miscellaneous

Your Social Media Minion, Dan Scavino, retweeted himself on the POTUS account:

I’m sure it feels good being able to (procedurally) hang up the phone on the Venezuelan leader and then brag about it. I’m not sure what all it proves, but I’m sure it feels good.

[Retweeted on @POTUS]

Which is very nice, Donald. Of course, you haven’t actually enacted much in the way of significant policies, it’s not clear why “Consumer Comfort” is continuing to rise … except that it’s been continuously rising since early 2009 (when it hit rock-bottom during the Great Recession). In other words, you’ve inherited steadily growing economy: don’t mess it up.

And today, after all the Charlottesville brouhaha from yesterday was safely tucked away as far as you are concerned …

I’m sure we’ll hear all about it (with more campaign slogans) very soon, Donald.

Despite your support, Donald, Strange seems to be actually losing ground. I would make a snarky comment, except that the guy in the lead, Roy Moore (yes that Roy Moore) would be a horrifying person to join the US Senate. So … um … I’m with you on this one, Donald.

You know, Donald, I once heard a prominent political figure say, “No matter our color, creed, religion or political party, we are ALL AMERICANS FIRST.”  Who was it who said that again?

So just to get this straight, Donald — you were fine with Ken Frazier being on the President’s Manufacturing Council. You weren’t publicly criticizing him as long as he was a supporter.

But once he critiqued you (not by name) over your tepid Charlottesville comments …

… then he’s a price-gouging pharma scum CEO and should be publicly shamed.

Man, being one of your political allies, Donald, must be exciting while it lasts …

Other

You or your Social Media Minions also tweeted about …

  • workforce development programs (three (re)tweets), plus retweeting Ivanka about it [also retweeted on @POTUS], plus retweeting Marco Rubio about it.
  • retweeting VP Pence about the unveiling of his official Indiana Governor’s Portrait (four different retweets). [on @POTUS]
  • retweeting Secretary Price about how you are battling the opioid epidemic. [on @POTUS]
  • retweeting VP Pence’s wife about a competition for artwork on the VP’s plates. [on @POTUS]
