Lack of golf led to Trump Twitter tirade.

[RandySF]

“President Trump began the weekend believing that something good had just happened to him. An indictment leveled against 13 Russians for interfering with the 2016 election had not accused him or anyone around him of wrongdoing. ‘No collusion’ was his refrain,” the New York Times reports.

“But once ensconced at his Florida estate on Friday, Mr. Trump, facing long hours indoors as he avoided breezy rounds of golf after last week’s school shooting a few miles away, began watching TV.”

“The president’s mood began to darken as it became clearer to him that some commentators were portraying the indictment as nothing for him to celebrate… Those commentators called it proof that he had not won the election on his own… What followed was a two-day Twitter tirade that was unusually angry and defiant even by Mr. Trump’s standards.”

Washington Post: “In a string of 10 Twitter messages — which began after 11 p.m. Saturday and ended around noon Sunday, and which included profanity and misspellings — Trump opened a window into his state of mind.

1. From one of the comments on that article:

9. "Perjury". Catalino is hard right. It's RW fallacious claim that Mueller only getting process crimes

Indictments supposedly only for lying to the FBI and improperly filling out foreign agent registrations forms and such.

Part of the "nothingburger" narrative.

3. I have caught short news vids of Trumps golf game and his swing is awful

I also heard he cheats so do not think for a minute he is going to the links every weekend for the love of the game. No, and this is just my opinion based and little evidence but I think he goes to the golf course to vent his frustrations and validate his emotion based sense of reality. He does that by talking on his private cell to whoever while out on the course(no bugs that way) and when he goes into the club its full of yes men and women that validate whoever he is spouting that day.

The Trump implosion is the best show in town with popcorn every night at my house

12. Hey, he shoots in the 70s, is 6 feet 3 inches tall and weighs 239 pounds.

He also invented color television, was the first person to sail around the world (and he did it alone without anyone's help), climbed Mount Everest -- twice -- without supplemental oxygen, bench presses 600 pounds, fought a Great White shark with his bare hands and won, and was the first person ever to walk on the moon, even before Neil Armstrong. He's just too modest to talk about these achievements, which shows that he is the most humble person ever in the history of the world.

And he never lies about anything.

Walter Mitty is envious of Donnie Two Scoops.

4. Other sources of his ire have been said to be

His sons and Geraldo Rivera

I believe this version. Trump is consumed by the television

[Willie Pep]

5. Trump seems to spend an enourmous amount of time watching TV

Is he our first couch potato president?

8. Who knows, especially when "Fox and Friends"...

...is more like "Fox and Friend". The show exists for one viewer and one viewer alone, and the hosts speak to that one viewer directly.

13. On the WH schedule that's called "Executive Time"

and there are about 2 to 4 hours of it every day.

would have a negative effect on me too.

10. What a petulant asshole!

11. The more he howls, the more he cries foul,

the guiltier he looks and the more deranged he appears!
