NEW: Two West Wing insiders and a longtime Trump confidant all say the president is convinced Rob Porter sold him out to Bob Woodward. One says Trump now believes the domestic abuse allegations against Porter might be true.

1. hahaha! donnie logic -- i think he betrayed me; ergo, he must be a wife beater.

can we replace him with an *actual* 6-year old, so everybody knows how immature he is?

2. Isn't Rob Porter Hope Hicks's sometime squeeze?

5. Used to be. Supposedly broke up around the time Porter was ousted.

3. If this tweet doesn't give insight to The Dotard's epistemology, I don't know if a single tweet can.

What a dangerous, diseased mind.

4. Well at least he chose a very deplorable scapegoat

If you are going to blame someone for your stupidity, you might as well blame a domestic abuser.

6. Hmm - wasn't Porter gone

before some of the crap in the book happened?

7. One of these things is not like the other.

8. Porter was definitely a source for the book

as was Bannon, Cohn and Priebus

9. I read somewhere today (probably Twitter)

that Porter's name appears well over 100 times in the book.

11. It's a tie between Porter and Bannon at how many mentions

I will say the book is easily believable and while not earth shattering, shows a man who doesn't show up for some meetings, is easy distracted and ruled by emotion. Plus there's a half book full of footnotes.

But the number of times people are taking things off his desk is amazing. They just distract him with something else.

12. When one of your underlings dumps on you like this

And you can't figure out who it might be, even who it likely might be, your workplace may not be the well-oiled machine you think it is, Donnie boy. You run a statistical analysis and still get several score names. Nitwit.

13. Yup, tRump hires "only the best."

Question is, best at what?

14. Now we have ten to fifteen more people we can be sure aren't counting on pardons.

And we have a new action plan: Don't eat the strawberries, just keep moving them.
