WSJ's Reporter Twitter Stream Of Trump's Big Energy Speech - Comedy Gold!

Samples:

I wonder what Harold Hamm, who once had a contract to ship oil by #KeystoneXL, thinks about Donald Trump taxing the profits of the pipeline.

Trump: "You have to be wealthy, in order to be great."

One of the most untenable things Trump has said so far in his energy speech: "We’re going to save the coal industry."

Donald Trump: "Under my presidency, we’ll accomplish a complete American energy independence. Complete. Complete."

My parents were the two greatest people I am every likely to meet.

They were never rich, so I guess we all know now where they rate in your scale of values.

Since you've cleared that up for me, let me clear this up for you,

You couldn't carry my Mom's gradebook, or my Dad's shop coat, so why don't you get down on your FUCKING PUDGY LITTLE KNEES AND KISS MY PALE WHITE ASS, YOU ARROGANT BAG OF CAT LOGS.

Quick question to ask the Republican nominee for the political press, given by your friendly neighborhood gratuitous for free: "You've said that your administration would 'accomplish a complete American energy independence,' Mr. Trump. How?"

Simple nuts-and-bolts question right there, based on the candidate's own words.
