With the revelation that Trump's lawyer spent 30 hours talking to the Mueller team, Trump went on a twitter rampage, going on about Bruce Ohr, "Jess Sessions 'Justice Department", saying Mueller is discredited and a disgrace, calling the investigation just a bunch of "angry dems", and mentioning Hillary's deleted emails.
He also said this "rigged witch hunt" makes Joseph McCarthy look like a baby.

Also he called the investigators "thugs".
But hey, GOP, no problem here, no reason to speak out against that.

I wonder if that kind of "erratic behavior" requires some kind of reaction?

He really is your crazy old uncle who just repeats the headlines and demands we "do something about this!" 
Quote:Trump aide says president weighing regulations on Google search engine that he considers 'rigged'
https://usat.ly/2BWAmbT
Quote:Trump and Kudlow raised the prospect of regulating the company days before executives from Facebook, Twitter and Google are set to answer questions on Capitol Hill. Lawmakers on the Senate Intelligence Committee will question industry leaders during a Sept. 5 in a hearing focused on Russian interference in U.S. elections.
Trump's decision to weigh in on Google came as the White House has been under siege for its handling of the death of Arizona Sen. John McCain. Trump faced criticism from veterans groups and lawmakers on Monday for raising the U.S. flag over the White House two days after it had been lowered to honor his former rival.
Hours after that criticism erupted, Trump took the rare step of reversing his position, ordering the flag back down and issuing public remarks praising McCain.
White House aides did not immediately respond to questions about Trump's use of Google or what prompted his tweet on Tuesday. Trump's tweet followed a report in a conservative media outlet over the weekend that suggested most Google search results for Trump pull up "liberal media outlets."
The headline of that story indicated that "96 percent" of results on Google are anti-Trump, the same percentage that Trump cited in his tweet.

Just a follow up on a tweet not even in this thread....he tweets too many crazy things a day to dispute all of them. 
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/fbi-rebuts-trump-claim-about-china-hacking-clinton-s-email/ar-BBMCDaR?ocid=ob-fb-enus-280
Quote:FBI rebuts Trump claim about China hacking Clinton's email
"The FBI has not found any evidence the (Clinton) servers were compromised," the official said.
It's the latest example of the widening breach between a president who traffics in unverified news accounts and the law enforcement agencies he frequently maligns.
The FBI official, speaking for the bureau, also pointed to a report issued in June by the Justice Department inspector general that examined the FBI's investigation of Clinton's use of a private email server.
In the report, the IG noted that while the FBI assessed that it was "possible" that hostile actors gained access to Clinton's private email server, the bureau "acknowledged that the FBI investigation and its forensic analysis did not find evidence that Clinton's email server systems were compromised."
According to the IG report, an FBI forensics agent assigned to the case told investigators that, although he did not believe there was "any way of determining ...100%" whether Clinton's servers had been compromised, he felt "fairly confident that there wasn't an intrusion."
When asked whether a sophisticated foreign adversary was likely to be able to cover its tracks, he stated, "They could. Yeah. But I, I felt as if we coordinated with the right units at headquarters ... for those specific adversaries ... And the information that was returned back to me was that there was no indication of a compromise."
The FBI statement came after a right-wing media organization, the Daily Caller, published a story alleging that "a Chinese-owned company operating in the Washington, D.C., area hacked Hillary Clinton's private server throughout her term as secretary of state and obtained nearly all her emails." The story cited two sources briefed on the matter.
The story cited a remark at a July hearing by a conservative Republican congressman, Louis Gohmert of Texas, that another inspector general — the Intelligence Community Inspector General — found that virtually all of Clinton's emails were sent to a "foreign entity."
The story said the Chinese firm "obtained Clinton's emails in real time as she sent and received communications and documents through her personal server," and that "the hacking was conducted as part of an intelligence operation."
The story appeared to prompt this tweet last night by Trump:
"Report just out: 'China hacked Hillary Clinton's private Email Server.' Are they sure it wasn't Russia (just kidding!)? What are the odds that the FBI and DOJ are right on top of this? Actually, a very big story. Much classified information!"
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence declined to comment about Gohmert's allegation or the Daily Caller story.
The Justice Department IG's report noted that the FBI conducted "'intrusion analyses' on each of Clinton's devices and other evidence to determine whether any classified information had been compromised," and said the agent assigned to conduct forensic analysis "described the team's efforts in this regard as exhaustive."
"He stated that these efforts included (1) examining the servers and others devices to identify suspicious logins or other activity, and (2) searching numerous datasets to determine whether foreign adversaries or known hostile domestic actors had accessed emails that the (team) had confirmed to contain classified information."
Former FBI Director James Comey, in his July 5, 2016, press conference regarding possible cyber intrusion of Clinton's email servers, said the FBI had not found direct evidence of any intrusion into her personal email domain, but didn't rule out the possibility.
"Given the nature of the system and of the actors potentially involved, we assess that we would be unlikely to see such direct evidence. We do assess that hostile actors gained access to the private commercial email accounts of people with whom Secretary Clinton was in regular contact from her personal account ... She also used her personal email extensively while outside the United States, including sending and receiving work-related emails in the territory of sophisticated adversaries. Given that combination of factors, we assess it is possible that hostile actors gained access to Secretary Clinton's personal email account."
Comey's remarks were widely reported.
I guess he DOES read!

I was going to say something to this effect in the NAFTA thread, but here is just as appropriate.
While Trump is undoubtedly detestable as a human being, his fundamental ignorance of some of the basic tenants of our government is the most apalling considering his current position.
...maybe THAT'S what people were celebrating with the "he's just like the rest of us" stuff.

Trump's 9/11 Tweets (in order to the most recent):
1) No collusion! (quoting Lou Dobbs)
2) Retweet of someone else talking about his 2018 Patriot Day Proclamation.
3) Strozik texts (citing FOX News)
4) Complain about Justice Department (quoting Lou Dobbs)
5) Praising Rudy Giuliani for his leadership on 9/11/2001
6) Photo with announcement that he is going to Shanksville today.
7) This:
That last one is, dare I say, Lincolnesque!

re: #6
They used an old photo.
So sad.
https://latest.com/2018/09/trump-busted-tweeting-fake-9-11-tribute-after-users-spot-omarosa-hope-hicks-in-photo-taken-months-ago/
Quote:President Donald Trump tweeted a photo Tuesday of the White House staff paying tribute to the victims of the 9/11 attacks – but users quickly noticed that the photo was taken months ago when a number of former aides were still on the staff.
“Departing Washington, D.C. to attend a Flight 93 September 11th Memorial Service in Shanksville, Pennsylvania with Melania,” Trump tweeted along with the photo, apparently purporting that the photo was taken Tuesday.

But users quickly spotted two former aides – Omarosa Manigault Newman and Hope Hicks – still on the staff, meaning the photo was taken last year.
The White House did hold a memorial ceremony Tuesday but Trump was nowhere to be seen. He had already skipped town to fly to Pennsylvania.
It is almost like he has an inability to not lie.

I feel, personally, that nothing REALLY says "modern presidential", "stable genius" and show how much Trump loves women than him calling a person he slept with, paid off and then denied both "horseface".

I mean, it definitely shows he's a misogynist asshat, but that's not new information.

Horseface gets all the attention here, but let's not forget the thrown out case was for Trump Tweeting that she pulled a "con". The classic double down.
