Donald Trump has had a great week on Twitter, primarily because he wasn’t weighing in on the allegations against Brett Kavanaugh. This strategy was a great move, because as someone who himself has been mired in allegations from the get-go, Trump’s input will only add unwanted attention.
So, naturally, someone slipped up and gave Trump his phone back.
There are a couple tweets this morning, and they are not incredibly helpful.
Judge Brett Kavanaugh is a fine man, with an impeccable reputation, who is under assault by radical left wing politicians who don’t want to know the answers, they just want to destroy and delay. Facts don’t matter. I go through this with them every single day in D.C.

I have no doubt that, if the attack on Dr. Ford was as bad as she says, charges would have been immediately filed with local Law Enforcement Authorities by either her or her loving parents. I ask that she bring those filings forward so that we can learn date, time, and place!

The radical left lawyers want the FBI to get involved NOW. Why didn’t someone call the FBI 36 years ago?

I think it’s great that Trump is still supporting Kavanaugh against the charges. It’s good to show that kind of loyalty, especially under questionable circumstances. However, Trump’s own history is enough for someone to sit him down and say “Look… no social media for you for a while.” That strategy worked. It made Trump seem almost level-headed.
But now, he’s weighing in. Thankfully, he is not weighing in on Ed Whelan’s thread from last night.
Hold on to your seats, folks. It’s gonna be one hell of a Friday news cycle.
