Trump this morning:

Interesting to watch Senator Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut talking about hoax Russian collusion when he was a phony Vietnam con artist!

Link to tweet

Never in U.S.history has anyone lied or defrauded voters like Senator Richard Blumenthal. He told stories about his Vietnam battles and....

...conquests, how brave he was, and it was all a lie. He cried like a baby and begged for forgiveness like a child. Now he judges collusion?

Blumenthal Saturday:

Flynn in legal quicksand—maybe the 1st to face charges. Concealed foreign financial crimes cast light on Trump campaign collusion w/Russians

With broad mandate, Special Counsel must pursue all financial dealings—past and present—involving Russians and Trump campaign.

Russian financial payouts straight out of their playbook sabotaging democracies. Mueller must follow the money.

Editing to add that MSNBC producer Kyle Griffin just tweeted that Trump's tweets followed Blumenthal's appearance on CNN this morning (I missed it, was watching MSNBC):

Trump, who claims he has no time to watch TV, attacks Sen. Blumenthal on Twitter about 15 minutes after he appears on CNN.

1. Blumenthal never told stories about his "Vietnam battles and conquests"

Trump is just lying.

[malaise]

2. Trump is lying

8. Refresh my memory.

Blumenthal is a Vietnam era veteran. He once implied he saw actual combat. It's not as if he held himself out as a Medal of Honor winner.

[oberliner]

10. In a couple of speeches, he said he served in Vietnam, rather than saying he served during Vietnam

But he never told any stories about battles and conquests.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

11. Precisely.

He exposed himself to more risk than Trump.

3. Politifact just retweeted their earlier refutation of Trump's attacks on Blumenthal:

15. Traitor Chickenhawk says what?

I wonder what the sainted General kelly thinks of this?

4. Trump supporters

whether real or bots, are out in force too!

I think there were a few real ones. You can always spot them by their grammatical errors.

5. There is still a part of me that finds it hard to believe it is the President tweeting these things.

But alas, our so-called ruler is a classless Liar-in-Chief.

6. +1,000,000

7. Bloomberg's Jennifer Jacobs agrees w/ Griffin that Trump's reacting to the CNN interview

9. I can't believe that a Vietnam draft dodger with phony bone spurs

is calling anyone a Vietnam con.

He must be looking in the mirror.

12. Stupid move: Nothing scares Blumenthal. This can only make it worse for 45.

Typical stupid move.

13. Speaking of stories

Joy Reid? @JoyAnnReid

Speaking of stories, Donald Trump sought five deferments to get out of Vietnam service. He also called avoiding STDs his "personal Vietnam."

14. Shut the fuck up, Donnie.

[Zoonart]

16. Yeah!

17. Trump is so pathetic

A ridiculous President. Absolutely ridiculous and insignificant.

18. Trump accusing others of lying is always hilarious. Such blatant projection.
