President Trump on Friday demanded House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) “immediately” resign from Congress for reading what the congressman described as a parody of the president’s phone call with Ukraine’s leader that is at the center of a whistleblower complaint.

In a series of tweets early Friday, Trump accused Schiff of lying to Congress and “fraudulently” reciting a version of the call that made it “sound horrible” and made the president appear “guilty.”

“He was supposedly reading the exact transcribed version of the call, but he completely changed the words to make it sound horrible, and me sound guilty,” Trump tweeted.

“HE WAS DESPERATE AND HE GOT CAUGHT. Adam Schiff therefore lied to Congress and attempted to defraud the American Public. He has been doing this for two years. I am calling for him to immediately resign from Congress based on this fraud!”

1. He's going to whine like a stuck pig over the next 6 months

I think it's going to arc from comical to tragic by the end.

2. Ha ha ha Orange Butt. Congressman Schiff demands that YOU resign

High crimes and misdemeanors traitor

3. Yawn. He's so predictable by this point. "No, YOU'RE gyilty!". (Insert disparaging nickname.)

[Jedi Guy]

19. I'm surprised he hasn't hung a mocking nickname on Schiff yet.

You know, something that pops, like "Shifty Schiff" or "Shady Schiff." That's Dolt 45's usual MO.

20. He's trying to, but the dictionary keeps mocking him back

22. And Pelosi is no longer Speaker if the House.

I don't understand half of what he says.

4. Spinning out the dramatic "story" of his beleaguered leadership to his base.

Another day, another bad guy chapter that rolls out the original conspiracy drama.

Then comes the GOP pack chorus: "When the real story comes out, the Democrats will be in trouble!" "There needs to be an investigation of the investigators!"

All the GOP have are stories.

Their investigations have turned up no facts in the past, so, story telling about the "truth" is what they're about. Stories are all they have.

The GOP tells its "story" of governing while the Democrats actually govern.

Living for years on "reality" media feeds, their adherents don't know the difference.

For the Right, Alt-fact is understood as story. So, story to them equals fact.

16. Trump has Sean Hannity as his #1 story teller.

5. The truth seems to be hitting home

even if he doesn't quite realize it yet

Innocent people declare their innocence, calmly, and vow to have their day in court. Attacking the legal system is not usually a successful defense strategy.

6. Tonight on Bill Maher

Bill just has to call tRump A Whiny Little Bitch!!!

8. I didn't think Schiff was reading a verbatim account because I can recognize sarcasm, you

Orange dolt. So sue Schiff for committing sarcasm and see how far you get. Putz.

[Prospero1]

9. How about....

Schiff offers to resign if Trump does first.

[sakabatou]

10. Trump loves to project

[SergeStorms]

11. I'm sure Congressman Schiff has already emptied his desk.

I mean, when a respected statesman like Trump demands you resign, you resign, Right? Right? Right?

What a fucking clown.

[Marie Marie]

12. ...

Sure, whatever you say, you festering boil on the ass of Satan.

[MFGsunny]

13. That all MF45's got??????????? n/t

[Aussie105]

14. what Trump says and wants

Is no longer relevant.

Ignore the orange blubber baby. He has had the chance to prove he is capable, trustworthy and believable. He blew it big time. Exit stage left, Donald.

[Kid Berwyn]

15. "I hereby command all to..."

[Tarc]

17. The entirety of the response by Rep. Schiff should be...

Dear Mister President,

Go fuck yourself.

<3 AS

18. Trump has lost it, whatever small, tiny amount he had...K and R
