Trumps Tweets

What did Trump mean by "North Korea just stated that it is in the final stages of developing a nuclear weapon capable of reaching parts of the U.S. It won't happen!"?
Was he deriding North Korea's manufacturing capability - which has been somewhat unreliable, but may not remain so, or was he saying that North Korea would be stopped?

It's very hard to tell what he ever means with such short statements. He's had an 'interesting' Christmas with his tweets. He promised that if he got elected he would hardly ever use social media. Funny sort of restraint he's showing.

I have no idea where to start with the past days tweets, he seems to have had a lot of times on his hands so I'll go for this one:

"massive increases of ObamaCare will take place this year and Dems are to blame for the mess. It will fall of its own weight - be careful!"

Wasn't one of the first jobs he was going to do to be repealing the affordable care act?

Now there's a good idea!
Perhaps we could just move all real world wars on to twitter?

Well, Kim has appointed someone to keep an eye on Trump's tweets.

Maybe all countries should create such a post. Instead of Ambassador to the US, they could have Ambassador for Twitter.

I'm not surprised.

But if his tax returns are like his speeches, it will be incredibly difficult to tease out. :)

Various US intelligence people are reported to say that the briefing on hacking wasn't actually scheduled for until the end of the week and that yesterday's briefing was one of the regular briefings that Trump is supposed to listen to.

Incidentally. Just how long can it take the IRS to audit one persons accounts?

Yes, I have to hand it to him about the ethics committee, although maybe he meant they should be trying to block the latest actions by Obama instead of on the ethics committee. :)

I wonder what will come out of the news conference.
The announcement about conflicts of interest has been "delayed (...) [for too long], perhaps more time needed to build a case. Very strange!" Indeed. Grin

Trump has been busy over the last day with a tweet about Guantanamo, tweets about the car industry and a conspiracy hint about his security briefing with a very derisitory placement of quotation marks:

"The "Intelligence" briefing on so-called "Russian hacking" was delayed until Friday, perhaps more time needed to build a case. Very strange!"

and the news we thought might never happen:
"I will be having a general news conference on JANUARY ELEVENTH in N.Y.C. Thank you."

At last! Do you think it will actually happen?

I think he was right about the Independent ethics committee though. That was a pretty shonky piece of work by the republicans and it's good to see they changed their minds.

Good question.

Trying to scare them?

Maybe he thinks Kim is afraid of his tweets. Does he get them?
