Internet Mocks Trump After He Says He Can’t Tweet More, Has to ‘Start’ Focusing on His Job

He’s tweeted about the “witch hunt” five times in the past week. Russia nine times in the past week. Spygate 12 times in the past week. The Democrats 13 times in the past week.
And after a morning of “executive time” tweets, Tuesday President Trump did something he’s never done before: “apologize,” well, sort of, for tweeting.
Trump began his tweet storm at 6:07 AM, and by 7:09 he had racked up one self-congratulatory tweet and four angry, explosive, and false outbursts, like this:
The 13 Angry Democrats (plus people who worked 8 years for Obama) working on the rigged Russia Witch Hunt, will be MEDDLING with the mid-term elections, especially now that Republicans (stay tough!) are taking the lead in Polls. There was no Collusion, except by the Democrats!

And this, quoting the editor of the far right wing website The Federalist:
“This investigation involved far more surveillance than we ever had any idea about. It wasn’t just a wiretap against a campaign aide…it was secretly gathering information on the Trump Campaign…people call that Spying…this is unprecedented and scandalous.” Mollie Hemingway

But then, Trump did something unprecedented. He said “sorry,” and not in a mean way.
Sorry, I’ve got to start focusing my energy on North Korea Nuclear, bad Trade Deals, VA Choice, the Economy, rebuilding the Military, and so much more, and not on the Rigged Russia Witch Hunt that should be investigating Clinton/Russia/FBI/Justice/Obama/Comey/Lynch etc.

But it’s all still a joke.
After spending his entire presidency mad-tweeting, now he has to “start” focusing on doing his job?
The Internet was not having it:
After spending nearly the entire Memorial Day weekend in a tweet-storm about the Russia investigation, the president says he has to “start focusing.” https://t.co/g2vDQ6gI9Y

So, we’ve been watching your schedule and…um…most of the time…you’re not really doing anything. Maybe fewer Tweets and less golf? Less Fox & Friends (you know none of it’s real, right? It’s like the WWE of “news.” https://t.co/J6Bo7ZUldy
