Another way Trump is violating Federal law:

Congress Warns Donald Trump: Stop Deleting Your Tweets

"By doing so, Trump and his staff may be violating federal record "

"“Many of the messages sent from these accounts are likely to be presidential records and therefore must be preserved,” [...] “It has been reported, however, that President Trump has deleted tweets, and if those tweets were not archived, it could pose a violation of the Presidential Records Act,” Chaffetz and Cummings wrote in the letter."

Roger Stone was in contact with the Russians who hacked the DNC but it was innocuous and he forgot about it. Really.

Well, Trump openly and loudly told the Russians to hack Hillary's emails. Nobody has forgotten it and it wasn't innocuous at all.

Poor Spicer! I almost feel sorry for him.
So 134 security experts are finally making a public statement airing the concerns the resistance has had from day 1 of the muslim ban. I wonder if DT cares?

We are making great progress with healthcare. ObamaCare is imploding and will only get worse. Republicans coming together to get job done!

It sounds like the type of message he might repeat to himself to sleep.

Maybe in the hope that it becomes true?

amispartacus · 11/03/2017 14:51

It's Saturday morning. Trump's Saturday tweets are fascinating.

Lweji · 11/03/2017 15:09

Exactly. He fell asleep to that message and it was the first thing in his mind this morning.

AcrossthePond55 · 11/03/2017 15:10

Is it terrible that I picture Trump sitting on a gold plated toilet tweeting? After all, he's so full of shit it's no surprise it's coming out of both ends!
