Trump says he doesn’t ‘do Twitter storms’ – uh huh, ok, sure

President Donald Trump, who can both make the world cower in fear and belly laugh in response to his very well-known tweetstorms, wants you to know a very important fact: He doesn’t ‘do Twitter storms.’

“Do you notice when I go on and I’ll put out like a tweet or a couple of tweets, ‘He’s in a Twitter storm again,'” he said at a Phoenix rally Tuesday night. “I don’t do Twitter storms.”

OK, um, but what about the tweetstorm when ex-FBI Director James Comey got fired or the one about his failed Muslim travel ban or that time he tweetstormed the hell out of his Obama wiretapping accusations, oh and don’t forget the tweetstorms about the “illegal leaks,” Democrats, and the “fake media?”

And wait there’s more: Don’t forget the tweetstorms about Chelsea Clinton, Morning Joe host Mika Brzezinski, pardons, Sen. Richard Blumenthal, and China. That last one even got China’s state media to condemn Trump’s “emotional venting” on Twitter. 

Perhaps Trump doesn’t know what a tweetstorm is? Just like he doesn’t know not to stare at the sun or what Hezbollah is?

Well, according to shade-throwing pro Merriam-Webster, a tweetstorm is just a series of tweets sent by one user. So yes, Trump, when you tap out a “couple of tweets,” you’re stormin’ it up. 

With that definition in mind, one could be forgiven for thinking that early morning tweetstorms are one of Trump’s favorite hobbies. You know, like watching Fox and Friends. 

Denying his tweetstorming nature was just one of many sweeping topics Trump touched on, including, but of course, the fake media, how his Charlottesville remarks were “perfect,” how he’ll build the wall even it means a government shutdown and how he’ll indeed pardon ex-Sheriff Joe Arpaio.
