Vindication!

1. He's claiming Mueller told him to fire Comey? n/t

[Tommy_Carcetti]

2. And he also doesn't know what the hell he's talking about, or who the hell he's talking about.

Mueller? (That would be factually correct.)

Rosenstein? (I presume that's who he's talking about)

The ghost of J. Edgar Hoover? Sasquatch? A 1972 Ford Falcon?

3. Rosebud

15. Strawberries.

[Goodheart]

7. I assume he's talking about Rosenstein

This is unreal, really.

First off, he's admitting that he's under investigation, but I think he also did that yesterday.... but even more significantly he just said that SOMEBODY TELLS HIM WHAT TO DO!

11. It Was the Big Kid Who Told Me To Do It and Then Ran Away

It's an excuse for a moment. He'll be back to saying he's The Decider in a short while.

[Atman]

4. That was pretty amazing.

He might as well convict himself and save taxpayers the time and trouble.

[Moostache]

5. I'm not saying it was Trump...

[Doodley]

6. Isn't the intent of these Tweets to try to obstruct justice?

[muriel_volestrangler]

10. To spread confusion, certainly

The advantage of being president is that you know who your jury is going to be - 100 senators (plus 438 Representatives as the deciders to prosecute). So you can use a medium you know they'll all look at (they have to, to be informed for their job), and cast as much doubt as possible in their minds. With that doubt, he can probably keep enough Republicans on his side to get away with it all, since they have a lot invested in not exposing their party as corrupt and stupid.

13. Ascribing intent to a Trump tweet is ridiculous...

This is pure impulse. I'm guessing that if you had been watching FOX & FRIENDS (as Trump was), some commentator made the observation about Rosenstein urging trump to fire Comey and then appointing Mueller to investigate Trump, and Trump tweeted it 5 minutes later.

22. I don't think we should assume he doesn't think before tweeting

He may not be Machiavelli, but that doesn't mean he isn't thinking "I want every possible idea that makes me look better out there to someone, to give me a better chance of surviving". And that include effectively retweeting Fox & Friends so that Republican voters, and Republican politicians, are sure to see it.

8. He needs Dementia - Medications

(THIS IS A FUCKING JOKE)

[athena]

16. It's not dementia. It's narcissistic personality disorder, which tends to get worse with age.

People are doing a great disservice to all those who suffer from dementia by claiming, based on their own personal ignorance, that dementia is what Trump is suffering from.

Before you start spreading misinformation, do some research.

18. Sorry,

It's a fucking joke.

I'm not your enemy.

[OnDoutside]

9. Holy batshit !!! Unbelievable.

[panader0]

12. Keep tweeting numbnuts.

Sad

[irisblue]

14. Why does his staff let him have a phone? And why isn't he working instead

Of tweeting.

[tammywammy]

17. I thought he said he'd already decided to fire Comey before the memo??

[chelsea0011]

19. 9:07 AM! I swear to gawd this guy doesn't work.

He is also quite mad.

[Fait Accompli]

20. Wow, throwing Rosenstein right under the bus

This is so strange, especially after Rosenstein came to the president's defense last night with that bizarre message about not believing stories with questionable sources.

21. A vicious circle!

Like the wheels of time, time will bite you in the @$$, every time!
