the asshole-in-chief tweets




We were put in this position of power and importance to make decisions for the people who so proudly elected us, the most important of which has long been considered to be the selection of United States Supreme Court Justices. We have this obligation, without delay!

8. Why does he so often use the royal "We"?

Does he believe he's a king? Is he fragmented into more than one personality?
Or is he just referring to himself and Putin?

10. My first thought as well

I was going to post something similar when I first read the tweet.
But if you look at the @, he's addressing the GOP, so he uses "we"since he's one of them. Sort of.
But it's not stretch to believe he sees himself as a We.

13. We (the ones he loathes) will see him voted out and then We will put our country back together again

It won't be long now. We just need to hang on through rough seas a while longer. It's going to be so much better with Biden/Harris at the helm.

9. And, just as vile, disgusting, and petty as would be expected of him.

Garbage will be garbage. He is incapable of decency. A pox on him and all who surround him and enable him.

14. You were put there by a minority.

Thanks to a long-outdated relic of slavery called the Electoral College that undemocratically gives some voters considerably more power than others.

In other words, the U.S. electoral system is rigged and you do NOT represent the "Will of the People."

Go back to the sewer you crawled out of and stay there.

16. Mitch will clearly want to do it. I think it would hurt Trump's election chances.

Mitch has nothing to worry about personally getting elected. His primary focus has been stacking every federal court.


Remember Trump doesn't actually have to have the Senate approval

He can just appoint someone. Obama didn’t do that with Garland because of his respect for the tradition and decorum. Trump has no respect for any of that.
