Hotal toax
Trump is jumping up and down on the cracking ice now.
Over the weekend, Donald Trump’s tweets about Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe got a little manic, with the president tweeting a series of semi–coherent rants about the probe. It offered compelling evidence that the pressure is starting to take its roll.
This morning, Trump’s missives took on an even more hysterical tone, culminating in rhetoric we haven’t seen the president use before.
President Donald Trump on Wednesday called on Attorney General Jeff Sessions to end special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation.
“Attorney General Jeff Sessions should stop this Rigged Witch Hunt right now, before it continues to stain our country any further,” the president said in a morning tweet.
It was part of a series of related messages in which Trump lashed out at Peter Strzok, pretended former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort played an unimportant role on his team, and wrapped up with, “Russian Collusion with the Trump Campaign, one of the most successful in history, is a TOTAL HOAX. The Democrats paid for the phony and discredited Dossier which was, along with Comey, McCabe, Strzok and his lover, the lovely Lisa Page, used to begin the Witch Hunt. Disgraceful!”
It’s a very peripheral issue but there’s something especially sick-making about Trump’s repeated sneers about the Page-Strzok extra-marital affair when Trump has a history of fucking everything he could grab including during all his marriages including 5 minutes after his wives gave birth.
But it’s the bit about shouting at us that Sessions should stop the Mueller investigation that’s truly weird. What does he expect us to do about it? It’s as if he tweeted that the light bulb in his closet is burned out will somebody please farking change it…only more criminal than that.
Plus there’s the fact that we know Mueller is looking at his tweets for obstruction. Oh hey sir, there’s one right there.
If I had any circulation at all, I’d be concerned that this might help the Donald, but alas, I will never be a feature on Fox

Of course, Huckabee-Sanders spent an entire press conference walking this one back, insisting it was just Trump stating his opinion. Wasn’t there something a little while back about Trump’s Tweets being official documents?
Oh, yeah, here it is: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/trump-s-tweets-official-statements-spicer-says-n768931
And hellfire, the man’s used Twitter to fire government employees. There’s no way they can now claim that his Tweets are just him venting steam.
A series of semi-coherent rants? An improvement from his usual style then.
