Trump responds just now on Twitter to whistleblower story:

Another Fake News story out there - It never ends! Virtually anytime I speak on the phone to a foreign leader, I understand that there may be many people listening from various U.S. agencies, not to mention those from the other country itself. No problem!

....Knowing all of this, is anybody dumb enough to believe that I would say something inappropriate with a foreign leader while on such a potentially “heavily populated” call. I would only do what is right anyway, and only do good for the USA!

1. Yes, you are dumb enough to say something stupid

Trump’s meltdown over this is very revealing

[madaboutharry]

2. Says the guilty man.

[leftstreet]

3. He didn't write these

No Random capitalizing Of Letters for No Reason

Sentences far too long and coherent

[GusBob]

11. Key words: Virtually, various, and inappropriate This aint Trump

[jeffreyi]

14. Hear, hear.

It's fascinating watching this unfold.

[dalton99a]

4. Keep talking, traitor.

[monmouth4]

5. I think that halo he's wearing is a wee bit tight. n/t

[Phoenix61]

6. Say the guy who tweeted a photo

from a classified briefing. So yes, you have proved you are that dumb.

[OliverQ]

7. Trump didn't write this. It's too coherent.

An Aide definitely wrote this to try and get ahead of the story.

[GusBob]

12. "virtually, various, inappropriate, potentially" Trump did not write those words

I'd bet he blasted Coates before a lawyer stopped him

[ScratchCat]

8. If its a fake News story

Then order the DOJ to turn it over to Congress and the "fake complaint" will blow up in their faces.

Jesus Fuck, are we all supposed to be that stupid? He's been caught and its over.

[gratuitous]

9. Then why is your Attorney General stopping the DNI from reporting to the intelligence committees?

Let's see your ass cash the check your stubby little thumbs just wrote, Donald: Order your Attorney General to lay off the Director of National Intelligence so the DNI can carry out his duty and report this matter to the House and Senate intelligence committees. Otherwise, your tweets are more lies.

Will anyone in the media be able to make this bone-simple argument? Magic 8 Ball fell off the table laughing.

[lame54]

13. I admit it - I am that dumb

[lindysalsagal]

15. If the fool had one decent lawyer, he'd be told not to enter testimony on

federal cases so wrecklessly!

[moondust]

16. Of course "the USA" equals "ME"

Period!
