I don't know why he posts this sort of nonsense.

This was detailed in the recent "Cheese in the Maze" article. In short, while the media perseverate over the tweet, WINNING happens elsewhere. Here's a back-test of that theory.

Friday, July 28 - Trump tweets "I am pleased to inform you that I have just named General/Secretary John F Kelly as White House Chief of Staff. He is a Great American...." and "I would like to thank Reince Priebus for his service and dedication to his country. We accomplished a lot together and I am proud of him!"

Everyone spends the weekend losing their mind.

On Saturday, July 29, Trump tweets about eliminating the filibuster.

July 31 - Kelly is sworn in as COS. Trump tweets "A great day at the White House!"

August 1 - count 'em, one, two, three tweets...none about judges.

Which is "odd"...BECAUSE...the Senate on August 1 confirmed Kevin Newsom to the 11th Circuit, joining Sixth Circuit Judges Amul R. Thapar and John K. Bush as confirmed Trump appointees. Ralph Erickson has already had his hearing and should be confirmed soon for the Eighth Circuit.

To date in his administration, Trump has outpaced Barack Obama and Bill Clinton with his judicial appointees. Trump has so far had confirmed one Supreme Court justice (Neil Gorsuch) and three circuit court nominees.

Thus, I'd recommend popcorn when looking at tweets while preparing for something bigly to happen.

We got a blue slip for one of the MN judges from of all people Frankenberry. Still waiting on Klobuchar, but if she comes in, that would make SIXTEEN circuit court judges confirmed by year’s end, beating JFK’s record by two.
