Trump ducks commenting on Mueller indictments by Twitter-bragging Jimmy Carter said ‘nice’ things about him

An uncharacteristically sedate President Donald Trump ducked mentioning the bombshell report that Special Counsel Robert Mueller is bringing indictments against some of his former aides, with arrests expected on Monday, by tweeting that former President Jimmy Carter made some “nice remarks’ about him.

Trump’s normally rancorous Saturday morning tweets made their usual accusation against the “fake news,” but the president appeared to go out of the way to avoid the looming presidential crisis.

“Very little reporting about the GREAT GDP numbers announced yesterday (3.0 despite the big hurricane hits). Best consecutive Q’s in years!” Trump bragged on Twitter.

Moment later, he claimed some bipartisan support, tweeting, “Just read the nice remarks by President Jimmy Carter about me and how badly I am treated by the press (Fake News). Thank you Mr. President!” It is entirely possible Trump will tweet about Mueller later on Saturday as the White House prepares its response.

When GDP goes down, the Dotard owns that, too!

I smell a job in Jimmy Carter's future. Dennis Rodman needs a sidekick!

Everything Carter said was the result of his respect for the Office of the Presidency, not about the guy who currently occupies it. Donald Trump's entire existence is an anathema to everything Jimmy Carter believes and represents.

Jimmy Carter wants the President to succeed. Not Trump. He wants there to be less sensational press coverage of the President. Not Trump (and I guarantee you that Carter was well aware of the fact that most of the press coverage was directly the result of things Trump actually said and did). Jimmy Carter is one of the most honorable people on the planet. That's a concept Trump can't even begin to understand.

I have a lot of respect for Jimmy Carter. He's still trying to save us.
Certainly he doesn't want to see Cheeto starting a war with NK as a diversion.

The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump


I am and your just like the book so far, and this tweeting shows this in real time>

You follow the three phases day in and day out, and it is clear as hell that your a narcissistic megalomaniac that is dangerous, and you fit your profile just like the first pages of the book and you are dangerous, really dangerous, you keep reverting back to when you were sent to the military school in your demented reload of that time, day in and day out to have it played out in your world of today and that mind set.

And those that are trying to cover for you and stand in front of the podium and in the Congress just reinforce the "Malignant Normality" of the BS, which you and they are

I can't wait to finish the book .......................

Don:

Jimmy Carter said the media is being harder on you that other recent presidents.

That's true. What Jimmy didn't add, because he is too kind of a person, is:

AND IT IS WELL DESERVED.

Have to hide it in KFC chicken, of course. 45 won't swallow pills, yucky.

Either that or have some shiny objects around.
