More Maggie:

POTUS language on the press has changed noticeably in recent weeks, beyond the basic terms he’s used in past. Often he does that when he’s conditioning supporters ahead of an event of some kind. https://t.co/Jk3XOoOQgJ

yesterday Maggie vs. Trump tweets

A) CNN and NYT reported this as well B) We reached out for comment from the WH on this shortly after 11 am this morning, and asked for comment three times. In case the WH approach is not clear here, it's to not comment and then have Trump say "fake news." https://t.co/oiQ6SXOJos

Trump did this despite claiming he would defer a decision on closing the border for a year a day earlier. And at a time when he knew he wanted to make McAleenan the next DHS sec/was preparing to get rid of Nielsen https://t.co/rcxD27XI5a

And back at it this evening:

POTUS really ought to check in with his press team more often, or they with him. NYT emailed three times for comment and press office acknowledged receipt of emails. https://t.co/Jk3XOoOQgJ

I know how hard this is to accept, but there is no White House. Not as conventionally defined. Now it’s just Trump... and people who work in the building. The whole conceit that a White House “spokesman” speaks for him is inoperative. The metonymy broke. https://t.co/B0YxlSPm15

Trump is going to have to be taken to court to settle the issues of his taxes and his threat to use pardons to excuse crimes. His followers are no longer innocent bystanders, they are traitors.

It's almost as if someone leaks something idiotic he said or did in the past, he feels he has to revisit the idiocy!

(As I have suggested a bit wildly before, someone who is used to his behavior patterns, like Jared, might use leaking to try to use that tendency to manipulate him.)

constant bloviating b.s. and flip flopping allover the place, only thing I think one can be sure of is that he's obsessed and is just blurting out stream of consciousness on immigration. Just one example:

“This was a suggestion that was floated and rejected, which ended any further discussion,” Homeland Security spokesperson told @justinsink last night.

Trump today: “We are indeed, as reported, giving strong considerations to placing Illegal Immigrants in Sanctuary Cities only.” https://t.co/xIrojNY4HC
