Whenever I quote Trump's twitter, I use this source:

There's also the possibility to let tweets be delivered as newsfeed. Even as much of an RSS fan that I am, Trump is at the moment the only one who I follow that way, as I'm often enough on twitter and their algorithms are good enough that I don't miss stuff (as far as I'm aware). Link to Trump feed (easily tweaked to anybody else, obviously):

What do they want him to do ?

Do they want him to say that it's perfectly fine for an alleged child molester to run for Senate ? Do they want him to support Moore 100% in the election to ensure he gets elected ?

Anything else such as postponing the election and re-running the primary or forcing Moore to withdraw will only increase the upheaval.

In any case, President Trump is the symptom of the kind of upheaval that's rife in Alabama.

Trump would be well advised to stay away from this toxic situation. The composition of the Senate is one area where the buck does not and should not stop with the POTUS. Heck, Moore wasn't even his pick for the office in the first place.

Are you subtly suggesting i stop posting huge screenshots? :P
Fair enough. I was trying to help people who often say they can't view tweets.
That source you provided is probably better to use.

No, no. I prefer the screenshots so I can actually see what's been said rather than have to wait later in the day, at which point I forget to check.

Harriet Jones surely.
I know who she is.


eta: Yes, I know I wasn't close to the first, but I wanted to make it public knowledge that I get Doctor Who references. :)

We had actually just re-watched the episode a couple of days before I posted that.

Back on topic, (and cross posting from the Moore thread), someone on CNN this morning was wondering when Trump will speak up about the Moore situation. As Civet has said, if he has half a brain he won't. Nothing to be gained for him by going there, regardless of which side he takes. At the moment, he looks relatively good for having campaigned against Moore in the primary. Even a statement that he trusts the people of Alabama to decide would be a mistake, because they might decide for the Democrat.

I don't think he has anything to gain from commenting, he was never an associate of Moore, did not support him in the primary and only opens himself up to more discussion of his behavior. But it is people talking about someone other than Donald Trump. So I do expect a tweet.

Good point. I did say "if he has half a brain..."
 
Wasn't there a bunch of stuff about how Trump was upset he 'had' to endorse Strange, and that he really wished he could back Moore before the primary? Or was Moore the one where Trump supporters said they were supporting Moore to support Trump, even though Trump didn't endorse him?

I find my source a tad funnier.
After all, Spicer claimed the tweets are official statements, let us treat the as such.

The latter. Trump supported Strange a hundred and ten percent, right up until he lost and Trump had never heard of the guy.
