It is early morning. Do you know where our POTUS is? Of course you do! He's got his phone and he's rage-tweeting again because apparently there isn't enough work to do to keep him occupied.

Dude. It's on video. No one needs to have an interpreter to hear what came out of your own mouth.

Those last claims are straight out of the white supremacist/KKK playbook, nearly verbatim. By repeating them over and over, Trump is attempting to rewrite history to a place where the Civil War was actually won by the slaveholders.

It's past time to impeach him. He has no business sitting in the Oval Office, and the longer he is there, the more danger there is that he will spark a war at home AND abroad.

2. Petulant child who not only doesnt care about you or me or his base, but wont spend

one minute of his life trying to improve anybody's life other than his own.

Every action he takes will benefit the rich and harm everyone else.

Every action will harm minorities in social issues, on purpose.

child.

He is calling racist statues "beauty", on purpose, to make you angry and to please his openly Nazi base.

GOP are all Nazis, evidently, since not a one of them has demanded he resign.

3. These tweets aren't "written" by Cheeto

Whoever wrote these is someone who knows how to spell and put complete thoughts into organized sentences. Those are not the skills of our POTUS. He's probably copying someone else's notes, which is a skill he perfected in college.

4. Wouldn't it be ironic of Trump actually wanted to be impeached

So he could get out of office. He could have it both ways. He could stop pretending to be something he is not (who knew being President would be so complicated?) and whine that he was pushed out but the worst injustice in the history of the world.

The irony lies in the possibility that the GOP isn't exactly playing along. Rather than end it quickly, they might let him die a slow political death.

5. Creating a necessary distraction?

He knows the Mueller investigation is getting closer and closer.

He knows the outrage he's creating from the past few awful days...

6. He's so sad, so foolish, so NOT great.

7. The Orange Idiot is clearly insane.

8. Why can't we put them all in Trump's living room

Paint them gold and they will fit right in

9. Locking - the hosts feel this is analysis and opinion, rather than a breaking news story

The tweets have been covered in 2 existing LBN threads:

and this article is analysing them - and calling for impeachment. Please repost in GD or Editorials. Thanks.
