Apparently, Trump is in the middle of a "volcanic" meltdown right now per NBC News, and insinuated that he might fire his whole cabinet and staff and keep no one except for his family. But, I dunno, probably fake news! He'll still be President tomorrow!

Stablest of geniuses.

Tweeted it out not to long ago, no context. NYT op ed? Something else?

His spell check is working today?

Caps lock seems to be stuck again though.

Perhaps it's part of a (1/2)..

Part 2? "DON'T MIND IF I DO! TROLLOLOLOLOLOL"

He discovered the republican deep state in his own admin that is trying to prevent the world form burning... And more importantly that someone said not nice things about him ... and THAT last bit there is treason in Trumps deranged reality.

It is betrayal. The proper way to depose the President is impeachment or invoking the 25th.

You mean... America elected a president who's as crazy as a shithouse rat? How did we get crazy enough to do that, anyway?

I agree.

While in one way it’s good that the executive branch is stopping the executive from going insane the right answer is to remove him.

Have you seen the ridiculous fear-and-outrage propaganda they call news? That's how.

We knew he was reprehensible, but I don't think anyone could know how mentally disturbed he was. No one saw this degree of... whatever this is.

I'm shocked he knew how to spell the word. Not sure if many fifth or sixth graders can spell it.

IDK, did no one watch his campaign kickoff speech? The debates? Any of his rallies?

Never started with a full deck and has been losing cards ever since.

How anyone thought..."yeah, let's give THAT guy nuclear weapons" is beyond me.

Heh. you need to understand that the people who voted for him were a little bit crazy themselves, at the time. A charismatic con artist often has that effect on people... It's not quite like Jim Jones or David Koresh but it's there nonetheless.

Well it can't possibly refer to the person in the NYT op-ed. He suggested in another tweet that the "senior administration official" doesn't exist. Lol.

At the rate Trump is going, "senior administration officials" really won't exist. :D

I MADE IT! I feel so proud! I tried to reply to Donny's tweet on Twitter, and what I got was:

"Your account may not be allowed to perform this action. Please refresh the page and try again."

I made his block list! I'm rollin' with Clapper and Brennan. I'm in good company. ;)

I thought the court ruled he wasn't allowed to block anyone on Twitter since his account represents official statements from the POTUS? What ever happened with that whole case?

I was thinking the same thing. Not sure if it applied to his specific Twitter account (I think it did), or just the official POTUS account. Pretty sure it was ruled that he can't block people. Not sure how enforceable that is, though.

*I think* that hasn’t been settled yet.
Personally he should be able to block people, imagine if Obama’s post just got filled with shit from alt right trolls and he was required to allow it.

The case could be interesting. If a President appears on a TV show to make a policy pitch, would protesters have a right to appear in on the set? Presidents have always used private media for public purpose. Does the many-to-many platform of Twitter obligate officials to allow dissenting expression on their feeds? I can see where blocking folks from seeing the statements made by officials would be a serious issue but I am not convinced that blocking posts by dissenters would create a rights issue.

^ The above, of course, sidesteps the issue of Twitter being a private entity. If the White House set up it's own server to provide an outlet for Presidential blather, would there be an obligation to allow dissenting opinions to be aired on this public platform?

Pretty certain that I was saying that he was showing signs of a degenerative brain disease (alzheimers or dementia) from the beginning. I've not changed my mind about that at all.
