A Facebook friend described this tweet as “simultaneously believable and unbelievable. It’s Schroedinger’s Tweet.”

I believe your friend was quoting either Trevor Noah or John Oliver.

Possible; my friends aren’t generally that clever. But neither of those people has been on the air since the tweet hit, and a google of the term comes up empty.

Either way Roy Moore will be cozying up to him.

Googling “Trump Schrödinger’s Tweet” gets a few hits. Paul Krugman mentions the “Schrödinger death tax” — the Trump-Ryan budget calls for its elimination, but also shows it as a major revenue source. Also, there’s a Twitter user named “Schrödinger’s Trumo.”

BTW, didn’t the Kim Jong-un “tweet” call Trump an “old lunatic”? Why does Trump object to the ‘old’ but not the ‘lunatic’?

You’re asking “why does the crazy person do crazy things”; you know that, right?

Abusers like to pretend that they’re the nice guy and everyone loves them. It’s always someone else who starts trouble. They just hit to defend themselves.

I don’t know why Donald thinks this is an opening for him to play the victim card, though. Probably because he’s in South Korea trying to look like a nice guy by restraining himself. Which in his mind is the same thing as _being a nice guy_ who has nice relations with other world leaders. So on his scorecard, he’s a nice guy and Kim is starting something.

Why does he object to “small-fingered” but not “vulgarian?”

At a guess… it’s because he doesn’t mind being seen asoff balance, maybe crazy… certainly unpredictable.

But"old" implies he is not desirable, and that hits at his ego.
