Clearly whoever was supposed to supervise Donald Trump today was napping on-duty as the Cheeto-In-Chief went on an unhinged roller-coaster ride of a Twitter rant today.
Even by Trumpian standards, this was pretty much off-the-charts.
The rant was probably sparked by this report in the New York Times today about yet another meeting Don Trump Jr. took with foreign agents who wanted to help elect Trump.
Three months before the 2016 election, a small group gathered at Trump Tower to meet with Donald Trump Jr., the president’s eldest son. One was an Israeli specialist in social media manipulation. Another was an emissary for two wealthy Arab princes. The third was a Republican donor with a controversial past in the Middle East as a private security contractor.
The meeting was convened primarily to offer help to the Trump team, and it forged relationships between the men and Trump insiders that would develop over the coming months — past the election and well into President Trump’s first year in office, according to several people with knowledge of their encounters.
Erik Prince, the private security contractor and the former head of Blackwater, arranged the meeting, which took place on Aug. 3, 2016. The emissary, George Nader, told Donald Trump Jr. that the princes who led Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates were eager to help his father win election as president.
As we all know by now, it's illegal for a political campaign to accept help or support from a foreign country.
Below, you can see Trump rages and attempts to deflect with call to investigate Hillary (again?).
It's interesting that the Trumpster is suddenly worried about the cost of government spending describing the Special Counsel's investigation as "soon to be $20,000,000. He doesn't seem to have a problem spending over $3 million a trip to go play golf at Mar-A-Lago...?
The Donald also tries to assert that "no collusion" has been found when in truth, no one knows what Robert Mueller's investigation has found yet.
Special Counsel's don't turn in quarterly or monthly reports. No one but Mueller and his team know what they have in evidence. And you can be sure they wouldn't be continuing if there wasn't a reason to do so.
However, if you repeat it often enough, weak-minded people will start to believe you. Like a bad used-car salesman...
What's really rich is his final tweet (see below) where he states "I hereby demand, and will do so officially tomorrow, that the Department of Justice look into whether or not the FBI/DOJ infiltrated or surveilled the Trump Campaign for Political Purposes."
He "hereby demands???"
FBI agents spoke to Trump campaign advisers George Papadopoulos and Carter Page about their communications with Russian actors. You know - that's what the FBI does when they have evidence of treasonous activity.
Check out the meltdown below.
If the FBI or DOJ was infiltrating a campaign for the benefit of another campaign, that is a really big deal. Only the release or review of documents that the House Intelligence Committee (also, Senate Judiciary) is asking for can give the conclusive answers. Drain the Swamp!— Donald J.

Things are really getting ridiculous. The Failing and Crooked (but not as Crooked as Hillary Clinton) @nytimes has done a long & boring story indicating that the World’s most expensive Witch Hunt has found nothing on Russia & me so now they are looking at the rest of the World!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 20, 2018
....At what point does this soon to be $20,000,000 Witch Hunt, composed of 13 Angry and Heavily Conflicted Democrats and two people who have worked for Obama for 8 years, STOP! They have found no Collussion with Russia, No Obstruction, but they aren’t looking at the corruption...— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 20, 2018
...in the Hillary Clinton Campaign where she deleted 33,000 Emails, got $145,000,000 while Secretary of State, paid McCabes wife $700,000 (and got off the FBI hook along with Terry M) and so much more. Republicans and real Americans should start getting tough on this Scam.— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 20, 2018
Now that the Witch Hunt has given up on Russia and is looking at the rest of the World, they should easily be able to take it into the Mid-Term Elections where they can put some hurt on the Republican Party. Don’t worry about Dems FISA Abuse, missing Emails or Fraudulent Dossier!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 20, 2018
What ever happened to the Server, at the center of so much Corruption, that the Democratic National Committee REFUSED to hand over to the hard charging (except in the case of Democrats) FBI? They broke into homes & offices early in the morning, but were afraid to take the Server?— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 20, 2018
....and why hasn’t the Podesta brother been charged and arrested, like others, after being forced to close down his very large and successful firm? Is it because he is a VERY well connected Democrat working in the Swamp of Washington, D.C.?— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 20, 2018
The Witch Hunt finds no Collusion with Russia - so now they’re looking at the rest of the World. Oh’ great!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 20, 2018
I hereby demand, and will do so officially tomorrow, that the Department of Justice look into whether or not the FBI/DOJ infiltrated or surveilled the Trump Campaign for Political Purposes - and if any such demands or requests were made by people within the Obama Administration!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 20, 2018

Dear @realDonaldTrump: The counterintelligence agents of the @FBI work for the American people, not any political campaigns. If they infiltrated your campaign it would have been to stop a foreign power.— Ted Lieu (@tedlieu) May 20, 2018
Your smearing of the FBI harms our country & shows desperation on your part https://t.co/W6UJPcM7H4
Hey @realDonaldTrump, if you're going to "hereby demand" on Twitter, you should unblock citizens like me, @eugenegu, @adamcbest, @AynRandPaulRyan, @PSYCH_HYPE, @Underrated_Dom, @joepabike & so many others. Otherwise, you are simply grandstanding for select devotees, which is lame pic.twitter.com/odlcOeDBZ7— Dani Bostick (@danibostick) May 20, 2018
ARE YOU A SPY? I HEREBY DEMAND TO KNOW! #Trump pic.twitter.com/NNjeml7zKX— Hereby Demanding DT 🌊 (@dave_taft) May 20, 2018
