Strange tweet from trump a short time ago...

He posted this at 8:05 and hasn't completed it. That was 40 minutes ago. My first thought is "what does he know that we don't"

They gave him a heads-up, and he started leaking it before someone took away his phone, and explained what the word 'embargo' means.

Very embarassing

As he read from US immigration law, the President declared that even a "bad high school student" could understand the language and find in his favor.

"I think it's sad, I think it's a sad day," Trump told a group of major city police officers and sheriffs in Washington.

I gotta see that video. Many discussions here and elsewhere about his reading ability, and the fact he claimed to not have glases with him when he was asked to read something in a deposition.
a businessman who needs glasses to read but doesn't carry them with him????
