Trump Calls ‘Chuck’ A Hypocrite, Begs Hillary To Run For President, Says Stocks Are Up

Well, the President got off to a slow start on Twitter this morning, initially tweeting something generic about Democrats that hardly qualified as “high octane” on the presidential “covfefe” meter. That was disappointing. Fortunately, he redeemed himself about a half hour later.

The first person Trump took aim at on Monday was Chuck Schumer, who Trump thinks needs to consult with Israel before he opens his mouth again about the decision to nuke the Iran deal (get it?). Here’s Trump:

That would of course be the same “Chuck” that Trump was super-excited about woking with on health care just nine days ago:

And also the same “Chuck” to whom Trump caved on the debt-ceiling deal last month.

So to the extent Trump hadn’t already killed any hope of comprehensive health care reform by ending Obamacare subsidies, this morning’s tweet might have deep-sixed any last hope of a bipartisan deal. Additionally, Trump will need the Democrats again come December, and these tweets don’t help.

But Trump wasn’t done. He moved right along to plugging the stock market again, just days after making a complete fool of himself by suggesting that the higher the market goes, the lower the national debt gets. Here’s the Preisdent:

A couple of reminders there. First of all, that post-election gain isn’t large as far as post-election gains go. Here’s the chart:

On the unemployment number, it obviously has nothing to do with him. But beyond that, it was already pushing the lower limit by November. It’s moved lower still since the election, but for him to suggest he’s somehow responsible for the lion’s share of the decline in the unemployment rate (which is what he’s doing there) is patently ridiculous because, well, because almost all of that decline happened before he was elected.

Finally, for good measure, he sent you off on your day with this:

Who knows what he’s talking about there, but the irony is that much like “Crooked” Hillary, he still can’t get past the election. Both he and Hillary are living in a time warp. Neither of them have moved on and there’s certainly an argument to be made that by virtue of having won and thereby being the President, Trump doesn’t have the luxury of living in the past.

So there’s your morning dose of “covfefe.”

Tune in later for the inevitable pick-me-up and also this evening for the night-cap when Trump will throw someone from his own cabinet under the bus before threatening to start a nuclear war.
