In his latest round of early-morning tweets, President Donald Trump appeared to question the Democratic National Committee's response to the hacking of its systems, as well as a comment President Barack Obama made to a Russian official in 2012.

"Is it true the DNC would not allow the FBI access to check server or other equipment after learning it was hacked?" Trump tweeted.

"Who was it that secretly said to Russian President, 'Tell Vladimir that after the election I'll have more flexibility?'" he also posted.

1. Is he afraid to name names so it can be refuted?!

4. He's signalling to his base to eat up online oxygen by arguing Obama's 2012 statement.

His base knows the (bogus) talking point.

2. Obama was President when he conducted diplomacy. tRump's team was not in power.

tRump was selling benefits to Russia in exchange for help getting into power.

In 2012, Obama was the sitting President. He wasn't selling or buying anything to the Russians. He was stating a fact. Later, Obama imposed sanctions on Russia. He did not praise or defend Putin, ever.

But don't argue points like this unless necessary. If you must, make your point as succinctly, compactly and potently as possible and move on. tRump wants you to argue points like this to consume the oxygen in online "rooms" so that there is less time for people to point out his numerous violations of law, ethics, reason, and decency. He's always operated this way and tweeting is deliberate.

10. Hey, that was way back when Republicans complained that the president

Good times.

11. weird trump listens only to fox & friends, brebart instead of a gov. with 100s ofLEGITIMATE experts.

Republicans who run and OWN fox-lies 'news' propaganda & breibart-tabloid news should be ashamed how they toy with a sick man, he is their president.
