President Trump made the decision to cut back on his early morning tweets as part of an effort to regain focus following the first month of his administration, according to a new report.

According to the Associated Press, Trump has decreased his use of Twitter in the past few days, ahead of Tuesday's address to Congress, especially in the early morning.

One adviser told the AP the change is a result of Trump no longer watching MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”

"Even when he claims he’s not watching the show and just sending out nasty tweets about it, we’ll look at the camera — Donald, we know you’re not watching the show, but how are you doing?" Scarborough said on “The Late Show” with Stephen Colbert last week.

2. Um......what??

"effort to regain focus following the first month of his administration"

REGAIN focus? That would presume that he actually HAD focus at some point...

[ProudLib72]

3. So what does he do with the extra time?

Certainly nothing presidential. I guess it means more time trying to figure out those light switches.

9. Or eat a bigger breakfast n/t

11. I'll bet he sleeps in.

4. Thank God. Maybe he can get back to being a president now

Well, a so-called president, anyways....

5. Simpleton.

Trump is a freakin' imbecile.
How does such a clown get so far?

7. Probably because he was not always one? He is in his 70s now after all and

considering his father suffered from alzheimer's I wouldnt not be surprised at all to learn that Donald is suffering from it as well and it would explain the wild mood swings and the totally bizarre claims he makes.

12. mid stage neurosyphilitic dementia

13. I read about that as well and yes its possible but I lean more towards alzheimers since his father

suffered from it.

[Gabi Hayes]

14. I know....I did a thread on this, and the symptoms I found seemed to more

closely match the syph

my dad had Alzheimer's/Pick's, and I'm intimately familiar with the symptoms of that.

he seems more syphilitic than prionic to me

[cstanleytech]

15. Well regardless of the cause he is not mentally fit to be President, sadly though his replacement is

far from being a fit decent human being.

[Gabi Hayes]

16. amen...I did a thread on him, too.....I think I loathe him even more than DT

10. How far would you have gotten if your Dad gave you $200 million? - nt

20. A Gigantic Inheritance?

Otherwise, i see him working at the car wash. (Now i'm hearing Rose Royce in my head.)

[ginnyinWI]

6. at his age, and capability,

he should be retired. Big-league!

8. NBC Execs can't be pleased.

The ad-rate for Morning Joe's going to go down.

[mr_lebowski]

17. His speaking out against Drumpf on Colbert the other night was the most honorable thing ...

I've ever seen/known Joe Scarborough to do ... so I gotta give him some mild props at least ... even if it's for being the proverbial broken clock ... and tough shit, NBC Execs ...

[BumRushDaShow]

18. This won't last long

People are hip to his Lucy moves...

[Vinca]

19. I thought he cured his constipation and was spending less time on the toilet.

21. "...how are you doing?"

If you adjust this for context, this is like an exchange you would have with an adolescent who just had a bad day...

Is Trump so fragile that his aides are querying his emotional well-being based on cable news network reporting?

"There, there big guy! How are you doing? Another juice box?"
