Trump Tweets Out A Bunch Of ‘Fox And Friends’ Quotes Declaring Him Winner Of Hearing | Talking Points Memo

President Trump’s clearly tuned into his favorite news channel this morning.

In a tweet thread on Thursday morning, Trump posted several paraphrased quotes from “Fox and Friends” hosts’ chatter about special counsel Robert Mueller’s hearing on Wednesday. The commentary came from hosts Ainsley Earhardt — who claimed yesterday “changed everything” in Trump’s favor and said she felt bad for Mueller — Brian Kilmeade, a consistent Trump cheerleader and Steve Doocy, who claimed Mueller didn’t “know what was in his report.”

Someone messing with presidential seal. Russian imperial eagle with … golf clubs? How apropos. Fantastic troll.

If “winner” is a new term for “guilty”, I’ll go along…

And what message do the Dems have, again? Where is the message again?

Well, this is Trump. He gets very excited when anyone expresses an opinion favorable to him. Those of us with stabler systems of self-evaluation remember that there’s a saying about what opinions are like.

Yes, so much winning. It is really too much.

Creepy as well.

It is disturbing…and it should be. I would be interested in seeing how the GOP questioners impressed the general public (not the Trumpers).

Yes I’m waiting for that too, though I’m not particularly hopeful. The administration approach of saturating public discourse with madness, lies and nonsense is the information equivalent of carpet bombing, and people are shell shocked. I don’t know how much headway can be made.

There’s a cost to getting your staff from White Houses R Us. Discount staff members don’t proofread, and are less likely to catch details like that. It would be funnier if it wasn’t such a sad indictment of their lack of attention to detail, which you know spills over into every aspect of his version of governance.

Wow. Unreal. And of course he didn’t even take notice of it…or did he? Mindblowing.

President Big Brain has the following very insightful (or deep!) observation: his friends like him. Huh, who’d have thunk. Thanks for the contribution, Sir!

Mueller’s hearing:

Trump exonerated = NO
Trump et al collusion evidence = YES
Trump obstruction evidence = YES
Trump et al lied = YES
Trump et al destroyed evidence = YES
Trump witness tampered = YES

Trump unpatriotic = YES
Trump disloyal to :us: = YES
Trump unethical = YES
Trump wrong = YES

Who would think they did not “win bigly” with all of that?
If the goal is prison term, then sure you win Individual1!

I am very optimistic on this. If Trump consistently polled over 50%, I would not be. If we did not take the House the way we did, I would not be.

The only way that Trump has managed the Carpet Bombing that he has is BothSider/WhatAboutism…with a helping of FOX…

Some of what has to happen will come from the Town Halls of the Dems on Recess
