Trump blames airport chaos on 'tears of Senator Schumer'
30 replies, posted
[Quote]President Trump is blaming protesters and Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) for chaos at airports across the country in the aftermath of his executive order on immigration.
"Only 109 people out of 325,000 were detained and held for questioning," the president tweeted early Monday.
"Big problems at airports were caused by Delta computer outage,.....protesters and the tears of Senator Schumer. Secretary [of Homeland Security John] Kelly said that all is going well with very few problems. MAKE AMERICA SAFE AGAIN!"[/quote]

Delusional! Always trying to find a scapegoat.
I thought the President could or perhaps would announce a press conference to make these sorts of statements, but nope, POTUS continues to make viewpoints and/or ravings in 140 characters or less.
The Delta outage happened later in the day Sunday and wouldn't prevent those with valid travel documents from leaving the airport. The executive order was signed Friday.

Because the media would eat him alive. Plus, people can ask questions at a press conference. Twitter is his safe space.

Well, he isn't exactly friendly with the press...

That sounds like Bannon wrote that...

I feel a strange sense of exhilaration in knowing that I am seeing the first openly fascist US President as it happens in realtime. We're living through an event that will absolutely go down in the history books. It's at once exciting and terrible to witness.
This is an example of that old curse, "may you live in interesting times."
Trump is trying to distract you, Americans.
Do not let him.
That man is such a massive embarrassment.
Do we have any leaders that comes close to the immaturity we're witnessing? This is an actual leader of a country and not just any country, the US.
I tried to give Trump a chance but the buck stops at calling the free press an "opposition party".
What a cunt, jfc.

Erdogan, Duterte, Kim Jong are children as well.
The tears of Chuck Schumer? What the fuck is he even taking about?
Does someone wanna remind me who senator Schumer is and how they're supposed to be responsible for these protests?

Schumer held a press conference where he got so pissed at how un-American the ban is that he was visibly holding back tears

he's the Democrat leader in the Senate, basically one of many guys whose job it now is to kick Trump's ass inside out

Those are all on the authoritarian side of things, I sense a connection.

"Study the world! I sure have. Steve Bannon gave me a map to help me work on my foreign policy. I never knew that Canada was simply borrowing the land from us or that Notamericastan covers so much of Europe and Asia! Amazing!"
I honestly can not wait for Twitter to just toss his ass off the site. Then he just might form a more coherent statement about shit he caused.
But I am being too optimistic here. At most he will just hijack the press room and scream into a camera for a few hours after Twitter bans him.

Is this the shit he's pulling now? "We're not at war in another country, we're just preemptively screening terrorists before they even think of immigrating here!"
Seriously?
Oh, and study the world until you learn that it's heating up, at which point forget everything you've learned.

I cannot even imagine the fallout if Donald were to get banned from his favorite social media site.

He'd start his own one. One where he has complete control on the dialogue and you need to be vetted to find out what he's saying. At least on Twitter it's still out to the public.

He will probably do alot of stupid shit to get back on, say Twitter is evil, doing illegal things ect, try and shut it down, get shut down because that is unconstitutional, then cry in the press room because that is the easiest way to his followers.

Nice going, Mr. President
I blame Donald Trump, personally

Or Use Gab.ai the "free-speech" alternative to twitter.
or Breitbart
I can't believe SNL is more believable than real life
I can't believe we have a US President who defends thier actions partly by just typing thier catchphrase in all caps.
Speaking of Senator Schumer:
