Good morning. What’s Donald Trump tweeting about today?!
Despite thousands of hours wasted and many millions of dollars spent, the Democrats have been unable to show any collusion with Russia - so now they are moving on to the false accusations and fabricated stories of women who I don’t know and/or have never met. FAKE NEWS!

Never met them, huh?
President Trump calls his accusers “women who I don’t know and/or have never met.” The list includes a former business partner, a contestant in one of his beauty pageants, a reporter who interviewed him and an Apprentice contestant. https://t.co/H0m8AgWHry

What network is he watching this morning, I wonder? Is Fox News reporting about the renewed sexual harassment allegations against Trump? Seems unlike Fox News. OH! Is it because they don’t want to talk about Roy Moore this morning? Because he’s a pedophile? Huh. Anyway. Trump has definitely got sex on the brain. I wonder what he’ll tweet next?
Lightweight Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a total flunky for Chuck Schumer and someone who would come to my office “begging” for campaign contributions not so long ago (and would do anything for them), is now in the ring fighting against Trump. Very disloyal to Bill & Crooked-USED!

Oh.
There’s a lot going on there, Donny. Clearly, Senator Gillibrand’s call for Donald Trump to resign has gotten under his skin. What’s this about “begging” and “would do anything for” contributions? Is he insinuating … nah? I mean, not even Trump would insinuate that. Or would he? Or maybe he is insinuating that, but in such a way that he can deny it. Is that what they call a dog whistle? And what does “used” mean in this context?
I’m sure that’s nothing. Let’s ask Paul Ryan what that tweet means:
“I haven’t seen this morning’s tweets. I don’t pay attention to what the President tweets. Please, for the love of God, just let me pass this tax plan and I’ll answer any question you want. Until then, please leave me alone.”
Well, what about Mitch McConnell:
“I believe the President just means that the junior Senator from New York was very eager to gain compaign contributions from the President, and that she was willing to make certain legislative deals favorable to Mr. Trump in exchange.”
Yeah. That’s probably exactly what the President means. I’m sure!
Let me my ask Uncle Joe, who lives in Arkansas, what he thought that tweet meant:
“Sounds like the President just said a used-up old lady exchanged BJs for cash.”
Huh. Well, I guess there are a variety of interpretations, aren’t there? We’ll just never know exactly what Trump meant by that tweet (he totally meant that last thing).
"Mr. President, allegations of your sexual harassment past are back in the news again. How should we proceed?"

"I think I'll call Little Gillibrand a slut on twitter!"
"Brilliant."
If you had “Senator Gillibrand, that ole slut” on your POTUS bingo card then…congratulations. pic.twitter.com/SxSnb195O1

It means “Hold my beer, I’m going to make folks like @maggieNYT freak out all day insinuating that I called Gillibrand a slut, and then they’ll need to backtrack.” https://t.co/FbubS1RYQ6

Meanwhile, BRING IT, Senator.
You cannot silence me or the millions of women who have gotten off the sidelines to speak out about the unfitness and shame you have brought to the Oval Office. https://t.co/UbQZqubXZv
