“Everybody wanted the belt,” beams Acting President Donald J. Trump in one of his first video tweets this morning. (The Army has new uniforms … with belts. Did you know?) “Our great vets, our great heroes” — the ones Trump in candid moments describes as suckers and losers — love him, he boasts.
Yesterday morning was a barrage of increasingly bizarre Trump tweets (perhaps steroid-fueled) that became all-caps screams as he spun them out.
“VOTE TRUMP CALIFORNIA!” read one. (Spend all the money you want there, Donald.)
“Where are all of the arrests?” he demanded, referencing his political enemies, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama among them. “Can you imagine if the roles were reversed? Long term sentences would have started two years ago. Shameful!”
Minutes later:
“They went for a Coup. Almost destroyed our Country. You had the right President at the right moment. Current Voters, REMEMBER THIS WHEN YOU VOTE!”
Twitter flagged him for spreading misinformation about voting:
The frenzy continued, becoming all-caps by about 11 a.m.:
“NOW THAT THE RADICAL LEFT DEMOCRATS GOT CAUGHT COLD IN THE (NON) FRIENDLY TRANSFER OF GOVERNMENT, IN FACT, THEY SPIED ON MY CAMPAIGN AND WENT FOR A COUP, WE ARE ENTITLED TO ASK THE VOTERS FOR FOUR MORE YEARS. PLEASE REMEMBER THIS WHEN YOU VOTE!”
The wild accusations of treason, of coups, and his all-caps tantrums demanding jail for political opponent reminded me of … something.
