Pastor Andrew Brunson, a fine gentleman and Christian leader in the United States, is on trial and being persecuted in Turkey for no reason. They call him a Spy, but I am more a Spy than he is. Hopefully he will be allowed to come home to his beautiful family where he belongs!

I want to make it clear that I'm in no way meaning to belittle the plight of Andrew Brunson.

But for Trump, with all his ties to Russia, to tweet "I am more a Spy than he is"...

"I am more a Spy than he is." A remarkable tweet from an account that produces its fair share of remarkable tweets.

9. Normally, I'd say don't repeat his words. But this is a good one :)

Good work selecting his words carefully to emphasize the truth.

in general for retweets, though:

... don’t retweet him. “Think of Trump as a puppeteer, his tweets as the strings, and anyone who retweets/shares him as the puppet,” he writes. “Cut the damn strings!”

11. Lol, remember that reporter that was working on the Trump Jr. collusion story?

And Trump Jr. just tweets out incriminating evidence?

I can just see Mueller going, "I've been spending months and months investigating...and he just...tweeted it out..."

12. Is Trump teasing those who know or think he is a foreign agent?

[highplainsdem]

13. Possibly.

18. and yet you had glowing praise and congrats for Erdogan mr prez

19. A Spy? Did his hotels keep visitor logs on guests?

You know, stuff like who's sleeping with who?

Are there any audio tapes?

Wasn't there something in the campaign about CCTV security in one of his Virginia residences.

People at the top of society act to protect themselves, and they should, and part of that is being aware of what's going on, and part of that is surveillance, security guards, and the like.

Is that what's on your mind, highplainsdem?
