President Donald Trump picked up a Saturday night tweetstorm where he left off on Sunday, sending 15 tweets in 18 hours railing against Democrats and the FBI. The tweets Saturday night suggested the FBI was to blame for the high school shooting in Parkland, Florida on Wednesday because the bureau was investigating Russia’s interference in the 2016 election. On Sunday morning, Trump accused former President Barack Obama of sending “$US1.7 Billion Dollars in CASH to Iran”, insisted “Liddle” Sen. Adam Schiff was investigating whether the Trump campaign colluded with Russia because Democrats lost the 2016 presidential election, and said the Russians “succeeded beyond their wildest dreams” to sow discord in the US. The Obama administration sent the money to Iran in 2016 the same day Tehran said it would release four American prisoners. Republicans accused Obama of paying ransom, which the administration denied. In his tweet, Trump said the FBI … [Read more...] about Trump rails against Obama and ‘the leakin’ monster of no control’ in tweetstorm, says ‘They are laughing their asses off in Moscow’

President Donald Trump made a stunning suggestion Saturday that the FBI “missed” warning signs about the Florida high-school shooter because the agency was instead investigating Russian election meddling and possible collusion with the Trump campaign. “Very sad that the FBI missed all of the many signals sent out by the Florida school shooter. This is not acceptable,” Trump said in a late-night Saturday tweet. “They are spending too much time trying to prove Russian collusion with the Trump campaign – there is no collusion. Get back to the basics and make us all proud!” Trump isn’t the first to suggest the bizarre theory – prominent far-right Twitter users have speculated for several days that the FBI was too busy undermining Trump to follow up on investigating potential threats. The FBI employs more than 35,000 people and works on multiple investigations simultaneously, as FBI Director Christopher Wray reminded lawmakers at a … [Read more...] about Trump suggests FBI failed to look into Florida shooting suspect because it was ‘spending too much time’ on the Russia investigation

President Donald Trump on Saturday laid the blame on Democrats for the lack of congressional action on gun control, an issue that once again rose to the forefront of public discourse after Wednesday’s mass shooting in Florida. “Just like they don’t want to solve the DACA problem, why didn’t the Democrats pass gun control legislation when they had both the House & Senate during the Obama Administration,” Trump said on Twitter. “Because they didn’t want to, and now they just talk!” His comments came just hours after hundreds of activists and shooting survivors rallied in Fort Lauderdale against lax gun-control regulations, the National Rifle Association, and Trump himself. A gunman killed 17 people earlier in the week after opening fire on students and staff at his former high school using a legally purchased AR-15 rifle. The massacre has redirected national attention on semiautomatic firearms and the ease with which the suspected … [Read more...] about ‘They just talk!’ Trump blames Democrats for not acting on gun control earlier

established President Donald Trump lashed out at the “Fake News Media” in a series of tweets Saturday in which he distanced himself from special counsel Robert Mueller’s ongoing investigation into Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election. On Friday, Mueller’s office charged 13 Russian nationals and three Russian companies with violating US law and interfering in the US political system. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein announced the indictments during a press conference, saying that Russians began preparing their interference campaign in 2014. He added that the indictment did not contain allegations of any effect on the outcome of the race. “Funny how the Fake News Media doesn’t want to say that the Russian group was formed in 2014, long before my run for President,” Trump said in a tweet. “Maybe they knew I was going to run even though I didn’t know!” Several journalists, including New York Magazine correspondent … [Read more...] about Trump fumes over ‘Fake News Media’ as he distances himself from Russia indictments

President Trump’s longtime attorney Michael Cohen will be a deputy national finance chairman of the Republican National Committee, the RNC announced on Monday. Cohen served as executive vice president special counsel to Trump at the Trump Organisation and sat on multiple boards of other Trump corporations. The RNC said in the press release that Cohen has “been an active spokesperson and advisor for the President during his interest in seeking office since 2011.” Cohen, who has been referred to as Trump’s “pitbull,” gained widespread media coverage for his impassioned tirades against journalists and the media for their critical coverage of his boss. “If you do something wrong [to Trump], I’m going to come at you, grab you by the neck and I’m not going to let you go until I’m finished,” he said during an interview with ABC News last year. Cohen also lashed out at The Daily Beast after he incorrectly stated that “you … [Read more...] about Trump’s personal lawyer will serve as key RNC finance executive
