    i'm shocked and surprised at trump's tweet about it. whether he wrote it or not to me is irrelevant (we all know politicians have stuff written in their name all the time). i thought for sure he'd either say nothing or it would be a backhanded compliment of some kind. 
    It could prove relevant if he decides to tweet a dig at him later...
    what I mean by that is almost all the comments on that tweet are "you didn't fucking write that yourself you POS!". people's anger just clowds everything. 
    I'm not convinced he did...but despite my reply, I agree; it doesn't matter.  A lot of stuff is written for Presidents (and CEOs, etc.).  Twitter is the semi-official representation of the president, and the reply to Cummings' death was handled well.  To me, it's the kind of tweet to not comment on. 
    One thing for sure re. Trump- it's always very easy to tell when something he says comes out of his head or off a script!
    You mean when he starts speaking like a 5th grader?
    Well, he, you know.  Now I wouldn't, but, well, let's just say, you know.  There are a lot of people that speak and, well, you know.  Right.
    That is great Brian.  I'm sure you do great things all the time while being great.  That's great.
    haha!  Literally got me laughing out loud!

    You like books? Right? Be a shame if pages were missing. From books. Books are great. But sometimes pages go missing. I don’t know. Why? It just happens. Ask the library.
