Today’s Tweet-vomit: [6:40am](https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/869503804307275776) - “We have a MASSIVE trade deficit with Germany, plus they pay FAR LESS than they should on NATO & military. Very bad for U.S. This will change” [7:04am](https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/869509894688387072) - “Russian officials must be laughing at the U.S. & how a lame excuse for why the Dems lost the election has taken over the Fake News.” [9:59am](https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/869553853750013953) - “The U.S. Senate should switch to 51 votes, immediately, and get Healthcare and TAX CUTS approved, fast and easy. Dems would do it, no doubt!” Followed by a retweet of him paying respects at Arlington and a retweet of a Fox “News” story about Jared Kushner being completely innocent … a story citing anonymous source, one must note. ---

Yes, they must. But not for the reasons you think, Don. And I think I might just have broken that verb. ---

Y’all may find this interesting: Trump’s Twitter followers have increased by three million in May, most of them accounts created in May. In addition, of the 30 million Twitter followers he does have comma almost 15 million of them are fake accounts. Cite: [Nearly Half of Donald Trump's Twitter Followers Are Fake Accounts and Bots - Newsweek](http://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-twitter-followers-fake-617873?amp=1) > [@](#): > > what’s interesting is that its fakeness seems to be increasing. In January, journalist Yashar Ali ran an audit on Trump’s Twitter account and found that 68 percent of his then-20 million followers were real. Now he’s at 30 million followers, but only 51 percent are real, which means of 10 million followers Trump has gained since January, about 8.3 million are fake. ---

Okay, that’s it. Fun is fun, but this is enough. His tweets are more than enough for anyone that he’s not fit to be president. I feel like the Bradys when the girls tried building their own clubhouse: Carol: That wall almost hit Cindy! Mike: Enough is enough. Boys! ---
