He says he’s been “very tough” on aviation. What is he talking about? Can he point to one single thing he did to increase aviation safety? He apparently doesn’t know that the past several years have seen no commercial air crashes either. ---

“Actually, it’s @USDOT, @FAANews, & @NASA —and especially the airlines— who deserve credit for this. But, if you’re going to take credit for zero airline deaths in 2017 then you should take responsibility for the tens of thousands of gun deaths, too. #lawsmatter” - [Mark Kelly](https://twitter.com/ShuttleCDRKelly/status/948297331866251267) ---

Playground fights, today’s edition. [Trump slams Bannon: ‘He not only lost his job, he lost his mind’](https://a.msn.com/r/2/BBHPYRo?m=en-us) > [@](#): > > President Trump unleashed on his former chief strategist and campaign manager Wednesday, issuing a long and unusual statement questioning Stephen K. Bannon’s mental stability, honesty and political influence. > > “Steve Bannon has nothing to do with me or my Presidency. When he was fired, he not only lost his job, he lost his mind. Steve was a staffer who worked for me after I had already won the nomination by defeating seventeen candidates, often described as the most talented field ever assembled in the Republican party.” > > Trump continued, “Now that he is on his own, Steve is learning that winning isn’t as easy as I make it look. Steve had very little to do with our historic victory, which was delivered by the forgotten men and women of this country. Yet Steve had everything to do with the loss of a Senate seat in Alabama held for more than thirty years by Republicans. Steve doesn’t represent my base — he’s only in it for himself.” > … Can thump make one single statement without bragging on himself? ---

To be fair, any “Trump tweet” that contains sentences with multiple clauses, words of more than two syllables, or a semblance of coherence, was probably written by Dan Scavino or possibly Kellyanne Conway–and only shown to DT for his approval before being sent. Those two are definitely going to ladle on the Trump praise with generous hands. It’s not as though their boss would ever think to object on the grounds that any particular phrasing ‘seems too much like bragging about myself.’ ---
