Once again, he accomplished this feat before lunchtime by posting 108 tweets, 86 of which were retweets of primarily GOP members of Congress and bootlicking media sycophants. This brings a total of 437 tweets in the past week.<\/p>\n<p>Trump is apparently trying to flood the zone with inanity, because there was almost nothing of substance in this avalanche of social media ego-stroking. You have to wonder who he thinks is reading this bullcrap, other than weary media analysts. And he seems to have quit the presidency, because his OCT (Obsessive-Compulsive Tweetery) is a full time job.<\/p>\n<p>The vast majority of Trump&#8217;s tweets were tiresome clips of Republicans evading the facts that so compelling affirm Trump&#8217;s guilt. Their talking points were so tightly aligned that you could hardly tell one from another. However, there were a few tweets that merit attention, primarily due to their utter assholiness. And leading the list would have to be Trump&#8217;s attack on 16 year old climate crisis activist Greta Thunberg:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">So ridiculous. Greta must work on her Anger Management problem, then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend! Chill Greta, Chill! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/M8ZtS8okzE\">https:\/\/t.co\/M8ZtS8okzE<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Donald J.

No doubt Trump is perturbed that Greta was named <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/time.com\/person-of-the-year-2019-greta-thunberg\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Time Magazine Person of the Year<\/a><\/strong> instead of him. And his complaint that she has an anger management problem is pure projection considering his near constant state of frothing rage.<\/p>\n<p>Also notable is Trump&#8217;s brazen self-promotion of his own private business, the Mar-a-Lago golf club in Palm Beach, Florida.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I will be there in two weeks, The Southern White House! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/2djJrzAEfZ\">https:\/\/t.co\/2djJrzAEfZ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Donald J.

But that&#8217;s exactly what Trump is doing here. It violates the Constitution&#8217;s emoluments clause to exploit the office of the presidency for personal profit. And by using his official Twitter page to announce that the resort&#8217;s season is open, Trump can&#8217;t wave this off as just posting his itinerary.<\/p>\n<p>And what Trump tweetfest would be complete with his attack on the free press:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">It\u2019s great to have a wonderful subject, President Trump. Fake News like CNN &amp; MSNBC are dying. If they treated me fairly, they would do well.

He is crediting the ratings of Fox News, CNN, and MSNBC, for good or ill, to himself. What&#8217;s more, he believes that by reporting positively about him, any network would enjoy greater success. Which of course is absurd considering the fact that <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?cat=6\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">MSNBC frequently beats Fox<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>A couple of other tweets merit some note. In one <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realDonaldTrump\/status\/1205134155853574145\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">he says that<\/a><\/strong> he is <em>&#8220;Getting VERY close to a BIG DEAL with China.&#8221;<\/em> But he&#8217;s said this many times before and it has never been true. What&#8217;s he&#8217;s really doing is manipulating the stock market that reacts feverishly to any remarks from the White House. In the other tweet of note, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realDonaldTrump\/status\/1205156716054241285\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Trump complained<\/a><\/strong> <em>&#8220;Why aren\u2019t Germany, France and other European countries helping Ukraine more?&#8221;<\/em> The only thing wrong with that is everything. Those countries <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/news\/politics\/2019\/11\/13\/factcheck-trump-wrong-european-aid-ukraine\/4178935002\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">are helping Ukraine<\/a><\/strong> with over $16 billion in aid. So Trump is, as usual, lying.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>UPDATE:<\/strong> Trump finished the day with a grand total of <strong>123 tweets!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>The sheer volume of tweets by Trump is indicative of his crippling anxiety. To post that many tweets requires hours of scrolling, reading and watching videos. So it&#8217;s safe to say that Trump isn&#8217;t doing anything else but tweeting. It&#8217;s also safe to say that he is not just concerned about the impending impeachment, he is profoundly disturbed and suffering from a severe mental infirmity. This puts the nation at grave risk. and it makes it all the more urgent that he quickly be impeached and removed from office.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><strong>How Fox News Deceives and Controls Their Flock:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00QSSMOES\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B00QSSMOES&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=newscorpsecom-20&#038;linkId=TLI6JC2OYE22MUTS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fox Nation vs. Reality: The Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><br \/>\nAvailable now at Amazon.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Wednesday Donald Trump displayed an astonishing capacity for hysterics by posting 77 tweets in one day.
