Trump Begins Week With Angry Tweets At Cummings, Sharpton

President Donald Trump has, in typical fashion, doubled down on his criticism of Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) Monday morning, now throwing Rep. Al Sharpton into the mix.

Getting closer to the n-word, donnie.

Who’s running the betting pool on when his first tweet with the n-word hits? I had thought he’d wait until closer to the election, but with the way this is accelerating, now I’m thinking he won’t make it past the summer recess period.

Gee, one would think that Donnie is compulsive in his self-righteous hatred…

Everybody is always apologizing to Trump in secret, telling them in private that they love him (Sir alert!) while in public they hate his guts. Funny thing, that.

The charitable read, assuming Trump was telling the truth (lol), would be that Trump is so unpopular that many people of note are not willing to be seen in public with him. That’s the good version. Sad!!

What’s next for Donnie ā€˜The Grand Wizard’ tRump, a cross burning ceremony on the White House lawn? Would the MSM then be brave enough to call it racism?

What are the chances the President of the United States will be saved from the third-rail That Word by something so mundane as autocorrect? Substantially above zero, right?

Sweet Meteor of Death, have mercy on me.

But what about the little item dealing with the steadily increasing Democratic Congressional support for an Impeachment Inquiry (now within a dozen of the House Democratic majority)?

Up from less than 50 at the start of the summer.

A measure which would expedite procurement of necessary information needed to hold a lawless POTUS accountable.

Right after the Mueller Testimony of last week, that seemed to be a ā€œlost causeā€ (to the wrong talking heads)… But it is NOT a lost cause.

Trump likes enemies. They distract. So Trump doesn’t like Cummings and Sharpton. What That Got To Do With Your Predicament, Trump?

I suspect he has already crossed that line but…

I presume Twitter has a dedicated employee screening Trump’s tweets to ensure this never makes it out.

He is one of their bigger users and knows they can’t ban him because he will take all his racist followers with him.

I’ve already noted before that I’m sure someone tweaked his autocorrect specifically to change that to something innocuous when he tries to type it in…

But since that scrub would be after the fact, even a few seconds out there will be enough for someone to have grabbed it.

I’m sure there is a pre-post screen for this individual.

Twitter can’t risk even those few seconds

It’s nice to know that Maryland’s term limited governor is cool with his party’s president doing an over the top impression of him.

I don’t know if Sharpton Tweeted back, or just headed to Baltimore, but four Tweets about Sharpton suggests that he’s trying to get a response from him. He’s trying to pick a fight; that’s what bullies do.

Meh, that would be the biggest tweet in history. They’d be fine with it.

He previously retweeted the derivative.

That someone being Brad Parscale, I assume…

BTW, this is the only explanation that makes sense, because it explains how he’s never been caught out at using the n-word.

Has there ever been a week lately that hasn’t started (and ended) with angry Trump Tweets?

Asking for a friend…

It would be the biggest tweet, but then they would have to ban him.

Then the gravy train ends.

Same reason the Media hasn’t turned on him.

I’m just waiting for the moment when he goes after MLK Jr.'s legacy and orders the monument of him in DC removed too. He’ll probably have the National Park Service working on the details as soon as he can figure out how to get one of his lackeys in there to take over.
