Donald Trump managed to make it all the way to 2:00 p.m Saturday afternoon before feeling the unbearable need to grab his cell phone and tweet out some of his patented stupidity.
Tweet topics for the day: China and the Democrats. Take a look:
The United States hasn’t had a Trade Surplus with China in 40 years. They must end unfair trade, take down barriers and charge only Reciprocal Tariffs. The U.S. is losing $500 Billion a year, and has been losing Billions of Dollars for decades. Cannot continue!

We are sealing up our Southern Border. The people of our great country want Safety and Security. The Dems have been a disaster on this very important issue!

As with everything involving Trump, the facts are not on his side.
- The most recent trade deficit with China was $337 billion, not $500 billion.
- Democrats have been a disaster on the border? Really? Then perhaps Trump can explain why President Obama deported 2.5 million undocumented immigrants during his time in office. Also, Trump lags way behind Obama in this regard.
Trump feels a need to justify his trade war, which has sent the stock market into the tank, with the Dow Jones losing 500 points on Friday alone.
When it comes to immigration, Donnie is still upset that he didn’t get a dime for his precious wall on the Southern border in the most recent budget deal. Chances are he will never get any federal funding for the project.
Trump was reminded of some very harsh facts by fellow Twitter users:
How much did you add to tbe deficit you don't seem to want to talk about that. THE MERCER TAX SCAM. You are taking directions from him. Your doing everything they tell you to do and it all benefits them and you the top 1 %. Tell everyone how your going to pay it down

Yes, we have a trade deficit with China. The way you're going about it is making matters worse. You are harming your own voters. Perhaps they will finally realize the mistake that is you they made when it hits them where it hurts the most. Maybe they'll get it then.

How exactly are you "sealing" it??? There is no wall being built and governors are not going to send in their national guard.

I live in a border city and feel perfectly safe…always have. Your talk of masses of gang crossings is just nonsense. Don’t you have any good ideas of your own? It’s pathetic that FOX NEWS is setting the agenda for our country!
