Nearly three months into his presidency, and President Donald Trump appears to still sit alone in the morning with Twitter while watching the news.

He published a series of tweets Monday morning while watching cable news, praising “Fox and Friends” and criticizing other members of the media.

1. Hold them to the truth

just like he wants.

[vlyons]

2. Such a petty, tiresome little man

I'm no longer shocked and outraged at his stupidity and craven vulgarity. Just more determined that ever to work as hard as I can to unseat my deplorable congressman (Hensarling TX-05). Whenever I meet anyone new, I ask: are you registered to vote? Then make a little speech about universal healthcare, or social security, or affordable education. And the importance of voting in the mid-term elections.

18. Bravo!

[JudyM]

23. That's great!

[Eyeball_Kid]

3. The "fake news" meme is getting tired, coming from the master of fake news.

[dalton99a]

4. Scared shitless and clueless.

[DallasNE]

5. There is Nothing Newsworthy

Nor even useful in any of Trump's Tweets so why is the media even covering them? Time to boycott the Tweets. If he wants to say something let him do it in a news conference where questions are allowed.

[LuckyLib]

21. Yes! And boycott Spicer's word salad press conferences!

[turbinetree]

6. And we have a right wing enabling fascist republican Congress doing exactly what?

With this treasonous ass****, dragging there feet and "trying to deflect" and basically aiding and abetting in this crap, and conveniently forgetting to do this:


"I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion, and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God."

[SeattleVet]

17. That's not the Presidential oath...

this is:

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

He has a YUUUUGE lifeline/loophole available here with the 'best of my ability' wording, since he obviously has NO ability whatsoever.

[turbinetree]

20. My mistake should have been more precise

"An individual, except the President, elected or appointed to an office of honor or profit in the civil service or uniformed services, shall take the following oath: “I, AB, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.” This section does not affect other oaths required by law."



As for the sexual predator he and his treasonous team and the congress that are letting him get away with this shit should be voted out of office, and staring this year in the off year elections mt predictions will be some changes.

[world wide wally]

7. Doesn't this idiot ever get sick of his own bullshit?

[treestar]

10. Yeah you'd think he'd get bored

with it too, with his ADD.

[Gymbo]

8. Can we change the rules for tweeting from prison?

Because that's when I would enjoy Donnie's morning complaints.

[FakeNoose]

19. I don't think he'll get a phone in prison

Thank God!

[Baitball Blogger]

9. This is almost unkind. Each week he tweets he keeps adding to the body of evidence

that he's out of his league.

If he makes it to the third year of his first term and begins the reelection process, his opponent will have a mountain of ammunition to select from with these nutty tweets.

One campaign promise that might get his opponent elected by default: "I swear I will not tweet like Trump."

[treestar]

11. We can easily work up, for that candidate

his 2013 tweets vs. his 2017 actions and so no.

[COLGATE4]

12. He's literally fucking delusional nt

[randr]

13. That he must continually prop up his racist support

is very telling. He must be feeling the ground sinking below his itty bitty feet.

[notdarkyet]

14. Fake president.

[Sunlei]

15. Trmp never tweets his crazy lies from @POTUS and @White House. kellyanne runs the 'personal account'

[flotsam]

16. If "Reasons to Vote for Democrats" is the one with 200 blank pages...

...I will then believe it is a book Trump has read.

[Progressive dog]

27. 266 blank pages is a month's worth

of reading for Trump.

[Iskander]

22. Like Clockwork

Every time he goes on one of these idiotic 2 in the morning rants it's almost without fail before something big drops. So what do you think it is this time? Giuliani trying to flip and being rebuked? Trumpy on tape asking for Russian help? Carter Page just everything in general really.

Some of the noisier twitter critters are saying expect arrests within 10 days.

I'm not saying its happening but I would place a few bets....

[Blue_Tires]

24. Why is this news? Doesn't he tweet this shit like every 6 hours?

[duncang]

25. I remember when

When dipshit donnie said he was going to release results steve "stoopid" doocey said he was excited he might get to see dipshit donnie's "lab samples". Now let that sink in. He said "lab samples" not lab results. I wonder if he ever got to see them? Maybe he even got to hold them.

[Progressive dog]

26. Trump endorsed a book with no content

and even that book is beyond his reading comprehension.
