Second one is the giveaway that it's Miller and not Trump, since Trump does not know the word "tenuous". He would never refer to "the already tenuous Berlin coalition" since he does not know what that is.

The whole "immigrants are changing the culture of Europe" is a Stephen Miller thing.

Also note the correct use of punctuation and capitalization - Miller just throws in some exclamation points to try to mimic the Trump style. But "tenuous" and "coalition" are dead giveaways that it's not Trump.

1. "Tenuous" and "coalition" caught my attention, too

Those words aren't in his limited vocabulary.

3. Yep - jumped out right away

They need to work on their twitter Trump impressions.

2. Hell, he doesn't even know the meaning of culture.

[oberliner]

5. Nor does he care

It's interesting to see the men behind the curtain - scary too.

4. Why are you caging children?

Why are you tweeting instead of releasing them?

[oberliner]

7. Miller is trying to shift the narrative to "dangerous gangs" and "immigrants changing our culture"

In an attempt to justify those actions, and/or redirect focus.

6. The second tweet only makes sense if Trump knows about domestic german policy.

What are the odds for that?

[oberliner]

8. Zero chance Trump knows anything about that

No way Trump has any idea what the "Berlin coalition" even refers to.

9. Bingo.

Nor do his trumpsters, or care to look it up. Running into unpalatable facts has been aversion therapy for years. They'll wait for Fox to tell them what to think.

12. A reporter should ask him to elaborate on the tenuous Berlin coalition

[Hortensis]

13. Lol. Vague stream of consciousness sprinkled

and ending with catchphrases for his base.

10. I've said for a long time that Stephen Miller wrote the more coherent/radical Trump tweets.

He's about the only holdover from the early administration crew, an alt-right nationalist and Steve Bannon acolyte. Bannon still has his tentacles in Trump's WH.

[oberliner]

11. No question about it

He is driving the train on this policy for sure.

14. Nice spot, Oberliner. I think you are likely correct.

[oberliner]

15. Thanks

Lots of other folks on twitter (and some oN DU) appear to be making the same observation.

Looks like they are going to double down with saying that the separation policy is good - and Fox will have their back.
