If This Trump Tweet Doesn't Divert Attention From Everything Else Then His Twitter Power Is Dead

It seems to me that for the past day or so the White House has been using President Trump’s twitter account to try to move the conversation away from the Russia kerfuffle that dominated the news last week…was it really only last week? The objective seems to be to sling a variety of topics into the tubes of the internet and see which of them come out as catnip for the media.

For instance, we have Iran:

To Iranian President Rouhani: NEVER, EVER THREATEN THE UNITED STATES AGAIN OR YOU WILL SUFFER CONSEQUENCES THE LIKES OF WHICH FEW THROUGHOUT HISTORY HAVE EVER SUFFERED BEFORE. WE ARE NO LONGER A COUNTRY THAT WILL STAND FOR YOUR DEMENTED WORDS OF VIOLENCE & DEATH. BE CAUTIOUS!

The FISA warrant application and Mueller investigation:

So we now find out that it was indeed the unverified and Fake Dirty Dossier, that was paid for by Crooked Hillary Clinton and the DNC, that was knowingly & falsely submitted to FISA and which was responsible for starting the totally conflicted and discredited Mueller Witch Hunt!

The Washington Post:

A Rocket has not been launched by North Korea in 9 months. Likewise, no Nuclear Tests. Japan is happy, all of Asia is happy. But the Fake News is saying, without ever asking me (always anonymous sources), that I am angry because it is not going fast enough. Wrong, very happy!

The Washington Post and Jeff Bezos:

….In my opinion the Washington Post is nothing more than an expensive (the paper loses a fortune) lobbyist for Amazon. Is it used as protection against antitrust claims which many feel should be brought?

Tariffs:

Tariffs are the greatest! Either a country which has treated the United States unfairly on Trade negotiates a fair deal, or it gets hit with Tariffs. It’s as simple as that – and everybody’s talking! Remember, we are the “piggy bank” that’s being robbed. All will be Great!

Yesterday, of course, the White House Press Secretary revealed that Trump wants to pull the post-employment security clearances of several prominent pains in his butt.

But this may be the masterpiece:
