The level of anxiety inside the White House is always apparent by the frantic nature of President Donald Trump’s tweets. In a manic, random, flailing flurry on Friday morning, Trump unloaded his angst on several different topics.
As always, there was the requisite and misleading statements about the economy that Trump will gladly take credit for although he inherited a booming economy from President Obama. Trump has yet to meet many of Obama’s accomplishments (job growth and wage growth are slowing for the first time in many months), but he’ll still try to convince the public that the economy would completely fail without him. After all, he “alone can fix it.”
There is also the long litany of false scandals Trump spends most of his time dreaming up and trying to push to deflect from his own very real scandals, some of which threaten his presidency. He will continue to beat that Hillary Clinton drum until the day he’s impeached and tossed out of the White House because it is all he has, despite the fact that there is no truth to any of it.
Finally, Trump has come to the realization that, without his Russian social media bots to push his false scandals, he may not do as well in future elections as he did in 2016. He can continue to insist that it is trusted networks like CNN and The New York Times publishing fake news stories, but the best source of fake news on social media at the moment is Trump’s Twitter feed.
