. Seth Meyers takes a closer look at the dispute over Russian hacking and the GOP’s rush to confirm cabinet appointments without fully vetting them, and oh – Trump makes us look at his tweets!
Somewhere between his one-sided feud with Meryl Streep (“overrated”) and ranting over the ratings for ‘The Celebrity Apprentice” on his Twitter feed, is where we will find the State of the Union Address and other official business of the Trump administration. If tweets sound too casual for official business, relax…Trump’s tweets are the best, just like his brains and his words.Trump boasts of the quality of his tweets, claiming that people call him “The Ernest Hemingway of Twitter.”
As Seth suggests, the tweets could be the ramblings of an unhinged narcissist. If so, they have the added benefit of providing a smokescreen to divert attention from Trump-friendly Russian hacking in our presidential election! The cherry on top will be inviting Trump’s cabinet to inhabit the swamp with less vetting than your school crossing guard.
Trump, the ‘voice of the voiceless’ the friend of average Americans,announced his real plans to a flush New Year’s crowd. Joyful noise was raised when Trump promised to eliminate regulations and lower taxes for the fat cats! The biggest cheer of all went up when Trump vowed to divest 20 million Americans (not in attendance) of their health care. YAY!
Seth is right to worry. ‘Joey No Socks’ – a convicted felon, mobster, and associate of the Gambino crime family, partied with Trump, leading applause on stage. It raises concerns, and I’ve got to ask: Reputation is a precious thing. I know you go way back, but can you really afford to be seen with a shady guy like that, Joey?
