Trump claims that he is working at his resort in New Jersey. He told his supporters, which is a dwindling few, that ‘he is too busy working to watch television,’ and that ‘he never watches CNN’ because it’s ‘fake news.’ Okay, now for the truth.
We have proof that Trump watched “New Day” this morning on CNN because just minutes after the broadcast ended he sent out several tweets attacking Senator Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut.
“Interesting to watch Senator Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut talking about hoax Russian collusion when he was a phony Vietnam con artist!”
Trump was reaching into the past when Senator Blumenthal admitted in 2010 that he had misrepresented his military record. He claimed to have been stationed in South Vietnam, but was actually deployed by the Marines in Washington.
“Never in U.S.history has anyone lied or defrauded voters like Senator Richard Blumenthal. He told stories about his Vietnam battles and….” he wrote in a second tweet.
As for lying and defrauding voters, no individual in American history has lied or misled the American people as much as Trump has in six months and 18 days. If his lips are moving or his thumbs are tweeting; he’s lying.
He continued: “…conquests, how brave he was, and it was all a lie. He cried like a baby and begged for forgiveness like a child. Now he judges collusion?”
Senator Blumenthal had been discussing the actions of special council, Robert Mueller. He revealed that if Trump attempts to fire Mueller, the senate has taken action to force Trump to comply with a panel which would decide whether Mueller should be fired or not.
As for military records, Trump never enlisted as did Blumenthal. He sought at least four deferments, finally receiving relief because of a bone spur in one of his feet; which foot no one knows, including Trump.
It appears that chief of staff John Kelly will not be able to control his boss, especially when the subject is watching cable television and tweeting his opinions.
Trump lacks the intellect to understand that when he lies about something he can’t tweet about that matter or situation and expose his own lie.
Hurry up Republicans; the 25th amendment can save us all.
Please re-post; thank you.
