If new Chief of Staff John Kelly thought he’d be able to exert some discipline on President Trump when it comes to his social media habits, that hope was dashed early Monday morning when Trump went on a tweetstorm that ranged over several topics: the media, his historically low poll numbers, and even Connecticut Senator Richard Blumenthal. Take a look:
The failing @nytimes, which has made every wrong prediction about me including my big election win (apologized), is totally inept!

The Trump base is far bigger & stronger than ever before (despite some phony Fake News polling). Look at rallies in Penn, Iowa, Ohio…….

…and West Virginia. The fact is the Fake News Russian collusion story, record Stock Market, border security, military strength, jobs…..

… Supreme Court pick, economic enthusiasm, deregulation & so much more have driven the Trump base even closer together. Will never change!

Hard to believe that with 24/7 #Fake News on CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, NYTIMES & WAPO, the Trump base is getting stronger!

Working hard from New Jersey while White House goes through long planned renovation. Going to New York next week for more meetings.

Interesting to watch Senator Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut talking about hoax Russian collusion when he was a phony Vietnam con artist!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 7, 2017
Never in U.S.history has anyone lied or defrauded voters like Senator Richard Blumenthal. He told stories about his Vietnam battles and….
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 7, 2017
…conquests, how brave he was, and it was all a lie. He cried like a baby and begged for forgiveness like a child. Now he judges collusion?

A couple of quick points:
- The famed “Trump base” is maybe 25-30 percent of voters. That means 70 to 75 percent of Americans don’t support the illegitimate head of state.
- The idea that Trump, who used “bone spurs” in his heels as his way out of serving in Vietnam, would criticize someone else regarding military exploits is laughable. Blumenthal actually served in the Marine Corps Reserves for six years. Trump, meanwhile, was shipped off to a military school by his daddy and never wore the uniform of any branch of the United States military.
Trump’s demented rantings on social media were quickly rebutted:
Lets's face it. The more you tweet and the crazier you sound is directly related to your fears of what's coming.

Hard to believe your base is getting stronger because it's *not* true. https://t.co/UvnJS4tlY6

Or compare not getting STDs in the 80s to fighting his own personal Vietnam, as Trump has done https://t.co/50ytM1Lj1U pic.twitter.com/6TGZor9mms

All this would be so much funnier if it wasn’t so damn pathetic.
