Trump is tweeting - and then deleting - at 2 am ET

Last edited Sun Jul 19, 2020, 03:06 AM - Edit history (1)

I missed the tweet, but others on Twitter caught it with screen shots.

A couple of the tweets about it:














Trump hasn't tried to post a slightly different version of that, so far, 20 minutes after that post.

He's tweeting pretty late, though.

Which makes me think he's read about the new ABC/Washington Post poll

https://upload.democraticunderground.com/100213773619

which was released a couple of hours ago, and he's fuming over it, and hoping to shift the focus to Portland.



Editing the OP to mention, re the "m" following "Portland" at the end of the tweet:

I believe Trump was about to type "Portland martial law."

I bet that's what the "m" was going to be until he remembered there is another Portland...oops! I guess getting Joe Shapiro to take his SATs for him was a necessity.

I'm surprised he even knows what that is...at first he must have had it explained to him by Barr or Putin. He likely thought "marshall law", pardner. Now where's my horse?

Editing to include that old tweet of Trump's...which was written before other people were sometimes posting his tweets:








President Obama, our great leader, wants to declare martial law in New York City as a means of helping out with the "massive" storm.

He doesn't see the danger to democracy that this Portland stint signifies to the rest of us.
