Just a couple of days after we’ve reported about President Trump’s new Chief of Staff Kelly, the man who was claimed to have taken steps with regard to harnessing the flow of information from the POTUS’ Twitter feed, America woke up on Monday morning to discover one of Donald Trump’s angriest and longest Twitter-storms in history.
The Twitter-rant started with destroying the now famous failing New York Times together with a number of 24/7 All Fake News All The Time mainstream media outlets:
The failing @nytimes, which has made every wrong prediction about me including my big election win (apologized), is totally inept!

The Trump base is far bigger & stronger than ever before (despite some phony Fake News polling). Look at rallies in Penn, Iowa, Ohio…….

The POTUS then moved to bash Senator Richard Blumenthal who was mercilessly (and truthfully) described as a phony Vietnam con-artist:
Interesting to watch Senator Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut talking about hoax Russian collusion when he was a phony Vietnam con artist!

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?

For those of you who do not know what Donald Trump is talking about, you should read this New York Times piece from 2010. :
At a ceremony honoring veterans and senior citizens who sent presents to
soldiers overseas, Attorney General Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut
rose and spoke of an earlier time in his life. “We have learned something important since the days that I served in Vietnam,” Mr.Blumenthal said to the group gathered in Norwalk in March 2008. “Andyou exemplify it. Whatever we think about the war, whatever we call it —Afghanistan or Iraq — we owe our military men and women unconditionalsupport.”There was one problem: Mr. Blumenthal, a Democrat now running for the United States Senate, never served in Vietnam. He obtained at least five military deferments from 1965 to 1970 and took repeated steps that enabled him to avoid going to war, according to records.
I think Senator Blumenthal should take a nice long vacation in Vietnam, where he lied about his service, so he can at least say he was there

One may ask what this new Twitter rant means for General Kelly’s future in the White House as he seems to have already lost control of the “narrative”. Apparently, the “war” was sparked by Senator Blumenthal’s appearance on CNN on Monday morning, when he accused the new White House administration of weaponizing the DOJ for personal ends.
