I’ve turned the corner. I used to wish Donald Trump wouldn’t tweet so much; now I want him to keep it up.
Why? Because his Twitter tirades provide such a trove of grist that highlights his utter hypocrisy, duplicity . . . not to mention his idiocy.
This has just surfaced. In 2012, he fired off a tweet criticizing then-President Barack Obama for “burning through” three White House chiefs of staff in three years. Oh, but hold on! Trump just announced the departure of his second chief of staff in less than two years, and he’s about to bring aboard his third chief of staff in, oh, the same amount of time — a year less than Obama did!
See how it goes? Trump says these things, either via his big mouth or via his Twitter account. Then he demonstrates a propensity for doing the same thing, only more of it.
Obama’s golf outings? Trump said he wouldn’t “have time” to break away from his plans to “make America great again” to play golf. Well now. He’s lapped the presidential field several times in the number of golf outings.
Sounding more “presidential”? Hasn’t happened. His tweets show us a continuing pattern of juvenile petulance.
Now we find the chief of staff matter.
Ain’t it just grand? Keep it up, Mr. President. You keep digging yourself deeper into that proverbial hole.
The Twitter universe has gone bonkers. Take a look.
