Trump Tweet; Grammar and punctuation are over rated.

Why is that Hillary Clintons family and Dems dealings with Russia are not looked at, (Random commas are awesome.) but my non-dealings are? D. Trump

I tried to clean the tweet up but still it reads like gibberish.
Why is Hillary Clinton’s Family along with the Democrats' dealings with Russia are not being
looked at but things I never did are now coming under inspection?

They are easily distracted, and lose the tweet.
Should have an African Grey or one of the Corvids handle it.
The grammer might be a bit - well, exotic - but at least the punctuation will be observed...

That doesn't seem right. I think that is something he just made up. I googled it and I only saw "non-dealings" in reference to Trump's tweet. The next closest are references to "non-dealing clause". I'm not seeing anyone else using the word "non-dealings".
