Trumps Tweets ARE Official Statements

We have gotten to the point in Trump's LiarLand where it is no longer feasible to reconcile today's lies with previous lies.




White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said Tuesday that Trump's tweets should be taken as official statements, contradicting other White House officials who have tamped down on the official nature of the tweets in recent days.

"The president is president of the United States," Spicer said, "so they are considered official statements by the president of the United States."
.... Sanders told reporters she’s not aware of the tweets being vetted by a lawyer.



And the biggest lie now is "no collusion" because the death penalty comes into play for treason.

when it gets to court, their *sworn* position (if it's not "i don't remember" ) will be that every single tweet could possibly have been a lie, just trying to entertain his followers, not meant to be taken seriously, just a joke, etc.

8. 2 Questions: 1) Has Trump disavowed himself of the tweet? 2) Did he fire his lawyer for malpractice?
