He is using an electronic media to give voice to his mendacious disinformation DURING AN IMPEACHMENT HEARING aimed directly at him!
The American people shouldn't hear a peep from him regarding his guilt or innocence, or the witnesses' credibility, or anything else even tangentially related to this hearing unless he is under oath and being interrogated by Congress. We govern there.
So come on, Donald. Whatever you have to say, say it in the People's House.

This orange menace in the WH is, in most instances, just flinging poo at the world when he tweets.
Why is this considered legitimate?

(63,221 posts)He wants to weigh in from afar, but won't show up. He is speaking to his base, but refuses to be held accountable in front of of congress and all of the reasonable people in this country.
He is a sniveling, slimy little rat who is running scared and who thinks that he can control things by tweeting out his insane rantings, hoping that his cult will protect him and come to his aid.
I cannot wait to see him go down. It may take a while, but he will go down.
