“No way he carpet bombs the DOJ like that if he was happy with Barr.”
President Trump may or may not be pissed at Barr regarding DOJ inaction, but I doubt that is his motive for these tweets.
The most obvious motive for his tweets is simple: so that 73 million people get to hear his side of the story (the truth), which they will never hear anywhere else.
Another likely motive is to sabotage and undermine the anti-Trump narratives being pushed by Democrats and their MSM propaganda regarding AG Barr.
Look how the narrative has changed as a result of his tweets:
Whereas last week they were saying “Barr is not a real AG, he is Trump’s obedient bitch and should resign in disgrace”, they are now saying “Trump’s bullying is so unwelcome by the AG that he may quit.”
What is interesting is the anti-Trump factions are trying to have it both ways, and as a result, their message is getting diluted and confused.
On the one hand, they want to push the idea that Trump-the-Dictator controls Republican leaders, the AG, and other cabinet chiefs with an iron fist, and that they are “yes men” who do his bidding without question (except Mitt Romney).
On the other hand, they also want to suggest Trump’s entire administration is in chaos, they all openly disagree with him and eventually quit or get fired because Trump has no control over them.
So which is it, a Ruthless Iron-Fisted Trump, or a Weak Powerless Trump?
My guess is that half his reason for tweeting what he tweets is to keep the fake news confused and conflicted.
Getting confused? I never observed them in any other condition. They might be getting even more confused. Hard to tell.
