BAD PRESIDENT
Donald Trump Just Asked Americans to Thank Him for Obstructing Justice

President Donald Trump‘s rate of tweeting seems to have increased dramatically over the past few weeks. The nation’s chief executive has been tossing out just about anything he can, hoping something will stick.
The quality of his tweets has also dropped dramatically.
Thursday morning, for example, Trump posted nine tweets in just over three hours.
His first tweet of the day drew such mockery it was compared to Alanis Morrissette’s, “Isn’t It Ironic?”
Isn’t it Ironic? Getting ready to go to the G-7 in Canada to fight for our country on Trade (we have the worst trade deals ever made), then off to Singapore to meet with North Korea & the Nuclear Problem…But back home we still have the 13 Angry Democrats pushing the Witch Hunt!

In his eighth tweet the president asked Americans to thank him for obstructing justice:
When will people start saying, “thank you, Mr. President, for firing James Comey?”

Some responses:
First Ironic and now Thank You. Trump really is on a huge Alanis Morissette kick today, isn’t he? https://t.co/ECwjBUyiZB

Thank you for firing @Comey! If you hadn’t, Robert #Mueller wouldn’t be working to save our country from you. And he IS coming for you… pic.twitter.com/qaGrOZr1KW

I can come close – thank you for so obviously obstructing justice that you triggered a special counsel investigation of your campaign, leading to nearly two dozen indictments and multiple cooperating witnesses. But no – politically motivated firings aren't cool. https://t.co/ikJSfXi5Uq
