5/11/19: President Trump is furious to learn that a congressional subpoena has been issued for his son, Don Jr. That means he spends most of his morning tweeting and retweeting stories he sees on Fox News.
He’s like one of those pigeons in an
experiment to see how often they will peck at a lever if they are
intermittently rewarded with food. In just over an hour he tweets sixty times. He’s totally exonerated,
he says. So are Don Jr., and Manafort and Flynn and Gates and Cohen (no, not
him) and Papadopoulos, all now convicted felons, except Don Jr., who worked on
his campaign. All his critics hate
America, and they are treasonous and ugly, and losers and lowlifes and skanks.

5/12/19: President Trump is feeling the heat as more and more information about the Mueller Report spills out, including details that point directly at a case for obstruction of justice.
That means, a crazy man has got to tweet. “My campaign was being seriously spied upon by intel agencies and the Democrats,” Trump howls at one point. He’s praying his fan base will focus on the word “Democrats” and won’t wonder why U.S. intelligence agencies had determined he might be working in the interests of Russia, and not the United States. “This never happened before in American history, and it all turned out to be a total scam, a Witch Hunt, that yielded No Collusion, No Obstruction,” he continued to tap-tap. “This must never be allowed to happen again!”
In a second tweet, Trump’s authoritarian instincts receive full play. This time he rages, “we have had a giant SCAM perpetrated upon our nation, a Witch Hunt, a Treasonous Hoax. That is the Constitutional Crisis & hopefully guilty people will pay [emphasis added]!”
Once again, the president is accusing political opponents of
treason, a crime punishable by death, and warning “guilty people will pay.”
