Trump Spins His Late-Night Tweeting as a Good Presidential Attribute

Source: Mediaite

by Josh Feldman | 2:45 pm, September 30th, 2016

If you thought it was ridiculous for Donald Trump to be tweeting about a former Miss Universe and some sex tape at 3 am, Trump wants you to know this is actually a good attribute in a president:

Donald J. Trump ✔
@realDonaldTrump

For those few people knocking me for tweeting at three o'clock in the morning, at least you know I will be there, awake, to answer the call!

The only question is will he be able to answer the call or will he tell his aides, “Not now, I have to come up with a good nickname to insult CNN’s John King with.”

He has 38 days to the election, he hasn't addressed a serious policy issue
in weeks, no one is paying him any heed, and this is his serious strategy

LOONEY!!

Ask anyone in my family. I have a very smart brain...so nuclear is easy for me. Everyone says that...sniff sniff...Hillary is a total failure when it comes to nuclear and cyber...and by the way, I am the best at cyber...my youngest son can do cyber to...he is tremendous at cyber...sniff sniff...but hillary is terrible at cyber....everyone says that....sniff sniff...i'm the best at searching for porn to. everyone agrees...no one can find porn like i can...sniff sniff...i find the best videos...full videos, not those grainy little clips...those are for light weights like Hilary...i bet bill is good at finding porn...ha ha....not as good as me though...well i don't really look for porn...unless someone like that house keeper talks nasty about me...sniff sniff..

When the country decides it needs an official National Tweeter or a National "Brander of Stuff" maybe we'll give you a call. (Or not.)

how tweeting manic threads about a former Miss U contestant at 3 in the morning is any indication of the temperament required for the office of President. That office requires a stable personality and a cool head, neither are attributes of a maniac getting into a tweet fight at 3 AM.

Sleep deprivation could be making Trump crazy.
As this article points out, chronic lack of sleep causes
schizophenia, with disorientation, hallucinations and paranoia.
