The Fake News Media hates when I use what has turned out to be my very powerful Social Media - over 100 million people! I can go around them

No, on the contrary, they fucking LOVE IT, because the more you undercut your own spokespeople and surrogates, the more clear you make our understanding of the dumpster fire that is your Presidency.
I mean imagine if you got to write the lede - “After a day of the President’s spokesmen and surrogates vehemently denying (story du jour), President Trump early this morning tweeted out confirmation of the story.” Indeed, that’s probably the easiest thing to write anymore. They probably just copy-and-paste from last week.
