One tweet from President Trump on Tuesday serves as a reminder of how far outside the realm of normal politics and its repercussions he operates.

This tweet:
Donald J. Trump

@realDonaldTrump

122 vicious prisoners, released by the Obama Administration from Gitmo, have returned to the battlefield. Just another terrible decision!
6:04 AM - 7 Mar 2017

Why is such a tweet unusual for a president?
1. It’s based on something Trump saw on TV this morning.

Most presidents don’t broadcast their enthusiasm for TV news as readily as does Trump. He’ll often tweet responses to things he sees on morning news programs — often on “Fox and Friends.”

That was the genesis for the tweet Tuesday morning. That program ran a segment on the death of a former Guantanamo Bay detainee in an airstrike in Yemen. It mentions that the detainee had been released by President Barack Obama and, at the end, mentions that 122 detainees have reengaged in the war on terror.

and I always laughed at the sounds she makes.

I am making those sounds now.

2. But

Out of the 122 only nine were released during the Obama years. The rest under Bush.

4. Ya dummy...

...what the heck you doing bringing facts to a presidential discussion. When are you going to learn ???

5. The conveniently forgot to mention that.

You would almost think they were trying to mislead people.

3. Trump's method:

1) Skip actual briefings dealing with real information.
2) Watch FOX
3) Tweet based on latest FOX headlines.

7. A coworker was telling me this today, but

She thinks Trumps word is golden. I could not make her believe the truth. SAD!

Seriously though, she has thought all this time we had the same opinions on everything just because I have a cc permit. I may have a few conservative positions, but I am dem on 90% of my thoughts. I scared her I think.

8. I'm sure you probably did scare her. Most Republicans think...

all Dems are anti-gun, they're wrong of course and when they learn that some Dems are armed too it makes them nervous.

The big difference between Rs and everyone of those gun owning/pro-gun ownership Dems that 'I' (YMMV) know (my hubby is one of them) is that those Dems are very much for common sense gun regulations.

9. Sounds like he takes parts of PDB's..

and uses them to attack his enemies he uses Obama now because he can't use Hillary because the election is over so he goes for the next best thing for his base who hates OBAMA..

They are so stupid when are they going to hold him accountable? He is throwing out anything that he thinks will stick with his dumbass base,others in his base don't care because they think he will make them rich.
