Donald Trump spent his Saturday morning rejoicing in praise about the country’s jobs growth and slamming the CIA, Democrats and the Mueller probe, in a string of three, early morning tweets.
In what has become somewhat of a weekend ritual for the president, he took to the social media site at around 7.30am.
First, he tweeted the words of New York Times economics reporter Neil Irwin who, in a glowing assessment of the economy on Friday, wrote an article under the headline ‘We Ran Out of Words to Describe How Good the Jobs Numbers Are.’
Trump tweeted the headline along with a credit to Irwin.
Next, he moved on to Fox And Friends and its coverage of former CIA Director John O’Brennan who, on Friday, penned a scathing piece in The Washington Post about the president.
President Trump fired off three tweets on Saturday morning from Camp David
On Fox and Friends, former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino labeled Brennan a ‘liar’ and suggested his word was not to be trusted.
He said: ‘John Brennan, no single figure in American history has done more to discredit the intelligence community than this liar. Not only is he a liar, he’s a liar about being a liar.’
Trump tweeted the remark along with another of Bongino’s about the ongoing special counsel probe into Russian interference in the election.
‘$17 million spent, it’s a scam Investigation. Americans are being worked. We now know there was Russian collusion, with Russians and the Democrats.
‘The Mueller team is stacked with anti-Trumpers, who actually represented Clinton people (& gave $’s to Crooked H,’ Trump wrote, crediting Bongino again.
