> [@Steve\_MB](#): > > We went from a Harvard constitutional lawyer to a guy that needed three tries to spell the word “hereby”. Which is the more alarming scenario: 1. Trump did that on his own - no staff involvement, no message control, or 2. the three attempts to spell “hereby” correctly were done with his staff involved or 3. someone on the staff had to rush in to save the day after the first two attempts? ---

Since he’s not using the official @Potus account, do the records maintaining laws and rules not apply? Or, like all our other norms, do they just go out the window now? I give people, including him, a lot of slack for twitter typos. My autocorrect is weird and fast. However, a sitting pres shouldn’t be demanding investigations like that. Words have weight… but again, norms out the window. ---

Holy fuck, he is accusing Obama of spying on him. The man is having some sort of breakdown… First, he starts with this unfinished thought: “The first meeting Jeff Sessions had with the Russian Amb was set up by the Obama Administration under education program for 100 Ambs…” Then… “Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my “wires tapped” in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!” “Just out: The same Russian Ambassador that met Jeff Sessions visited the Obama White House 22 times, and 4 times last year alone.” “Is it legal for a sitting President to be “wire tapping” a race for president prior to an election? Turned down by court earlier. A NEW LOW!” “I’d bet a good lawyer could make a great case out of the fact that President Obama was tapping my phones in October, just prior to Election!” “How low has President Obama gone to tapp my phones during the very sacred election process. This is Nixon/Watergate. Bad (or sick) guy!” And since he got that off his chest, he reminds America: “Arnold Schwarzenegger isn’t voluntarily leaving the Apprentice, he was fired by his bad (pathetic) ratings, not by me. Sad end to great show” ETA: (I did not make any of this up…) ---

Seems like a classic Trump diversionary tactic, except that it brings the story back to Russia. The Rogue POTUS Staff twitter account pointed out that IF there was indeed a classified FISA wiretap on Trump Tower, POTUS may have just declassified that information by tweeting about it - and making it subject to FOIA requests. ---
