President Donald Trump Tweetstorm – The Saturday Edition
Click here to read the full article.
President Donald Trump was in a mostly good mood for his early Saturday tweetstorm, with one notable exception. Like the old vaudeville routine on Niagara Falls, his upbeat messages were spoiled when someone brought up the Washington Post.
The Commander-in-Tweet saluted NBA logo and former Lakers great Jerry West, journalist Katie Hopkins, Russia and Ukraine’s prisoner swap, Mitch McConnell and “all Republicans,” and the Bahamian Prime Minister Hubert Minnis in his morning flurry.

But then the cornflakes were served, and the love train went off the rails.
“The Washington Post’s @PhilipRucker (Mr. Off the Record) & @AshleyRParker, two nasty lightweight reporters, shouldn’t even be allowed on the grounds of the White House because their reporting is so DISGUSTING & FAKE,” Trump tweeted, before adding, “Also, add the appointment of MANY Federal Judges this Summer!”
The President is now at the Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Va. enjoying a few rounds. Maybe that will lighten his mood. Of course, golf is often termed, “A good walk spoiled.”
The tweetstorm so far:
…FAKE NEWS. I would like very much to stop referring to this ridiculous story, but the LameStream Media just won’t let it alone. They always have to have the last word, even though they know they are defrauding & deceiving the public. The public knows that the Media is corrupt!

Russia and Ukraine just swapped large numbers of prisoners. Very good news, perhaps a first giant step to peace. Congratulations to both countries!

I want to congratulate @senatemajldr Mitch McConnell and all Republicans. Today I signed the 160th Federal Judge to the Bench. Within a short period of time we will be at over 200 Federal Judges, including many in the Appellate Courts & two great new U.S. Supreme Court Justices!

….I would also like to thank “Papa” Doug Manchester, hopefully the next Ambassador to the Bahamas, for the incredible amount of time, money and passion he has spent on helping to bring safety to the Bahamas. Much work to be done by the Bahamian Government. We will help! @OANN
