Trump Resurrects His 'Smocking' Gun On Twitter; Critics Go Ballistic
Nearly everyone could agree with President Donald Trump that there is no “smocking” gun in the impeachment investigation against him, even though many would argue there’s a smoking gun or two.
In any case, plenty of critics were fired up that the president had resurrected his ridiculous “smocking gun” typo from a year ago in a tweet Sunday — if indeed, it truly is a typo.
Some wits speculated that Trump could be referring to a very different type of gun ― one stitched with smocking, or even crocheted, for example.
“The Democrats haven’t come up with a smocking gun. Nancy Pelosi, by raising this to the level of Impeachment, has raised the bar impossibly high. This comes after three years of nonstop investigations of Trump, the Russian collusion narrative, the Mueller Report, & now the.....

.....American people are supposed to believe that this simply isn’t a part of everthing they’ve been trying to do for the last three years? I think it is really a hard sell for Nancy Pelosi.” @DanHenninger The Wall Street Journal

Many were stunned Trump repeated a term that was so mocked 12 months ago in one of his 99 tweets Sunday — and schooled him on smoking guns:
What the hell are you smocking???

You're right, there are no smocking guns. But there are plenty of smoking ones.

I actually think Jerry Nadler should add "inability to spell the word 'smoking' correctly" as another Article of Impeachment.#SmockingGun

True. There’s no smocking gun. The smoking gun is your transcript. And the unprecedented obstruction of Congress. And obstruction of justice. And emoluments. And campaign law violations. #PleaseResign

He actually said "smocking" again.
Again.

I’m still trying to help Nancy Pelosi find that damned smocking gun. It would help if you could tell me what one looks like and WTF does one do with a smocking gun?

Another smocking gun? You need to get Bill (Fred Flintstone) Barr, right on this. Is this some new type of weapon? Threatening the homeland? #DonTheCon #ExtremelyUnstableMoron

Jesus Christ he still hasn’t learned how to spell smoking.

Right. Not one "smocking" gun. But an entire pattern of crimes and corruption. Extortion. Coordination with a foreign adversary. Obstruction of Justice. Abuse of power. Witness intimidation.

I fully support a smocking gun ban.
