The president always responds to ominous news about himself by unleashing a deluge of destructive tweets—and we may headed for monsoon season.
A sort of climatological relation exists between negative news stories about President Donald Trump and the frequency and intensity of his Twitter use: The more ominous the news atmosphere is for him, the more likely we are to see a presidential tweetstorm. And with ongoing talk of impeachment, along with an array of congressional investigations, casting a dark cloud over the president since the release of the redacted Mueller report, we may be entering a protracted monsoon season.
Dissembling refers to a vast category of tweets in which the president lies, pedals personal delusions and wild conspiracy theories, grossly distorts or flat-out denies established and verifiable facts, and otherwise engages in total fabrications. Basically, it is the president’s use of Twitter to promote his distorted view of the world.
Distracting refers to the president’s attempts to shift the news away from unfavorable stories. Among the most damaging news stories at the moment is continued discussion of the possibility of impeachment hearings. The latest development concerns Justin Amash, the first Republican member of the House to openly call for impeachment.
