With his tweets about Scarborough’s intern, Trump set a trap for Twitter
American Thinker ^ | Andrea Widburg

Posted on 05/28/2020 5:53:26 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

Even Trump supporters have wondered about Trump’s tweets implying that MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough had something to do with a young intern’s death in his office when he was still a Florida congressman. It’s true that Scarborough and his co-host and wife Mika Brzezinksi have spent three years accusing Trump of treasonous collusion with the Russians, but Trump’s venom still seemed strange.

I, however, don’t think it was strange at all. Trump is one of the most calculating, rational people ever to occupy the White House. He’s been faced with a serious problem, which is the fact that the immensely powerful social media giants, which are the gateway to most information nowadays, have already begun trying to sway the election to Biden. Legislatively, thanks to three years of Russiagate and the current hostile House, Trump has been powerless.

So, Trump set a trap. On Wednesday, the Twitter mouse took the bait.

Sure Karen, do we need to show all the “self control” his opponents don’t?

What do you mean by that?

The medical examiner was found with body parts in his refrigerator.

Reminds me of the Foster case, where jurisdiction was with the Park Police.

We've got a guy named Sean Avenatti who has two women who saw the murder and will point the finger at Joe Scarborough...

Those two women also saw Mika and Claire McCaskill running 'young boy' rape rooms... Adameven Schiff said he has seen proof all this is true... and he'll release that proof as soon as it's cleared.

Davis Ignatious said if anyone had doubts, 'intelligence' could mess with their lives seven way from Sunday. So Claire McCaskill you've been warned. You too Joe. We're just trying to help because we're soooooo concerned....

“You have no clue as to how President Trump operates. Even after nearly 4 years. The man is a savvy player, not a dunce who just speaks without some goal he is looking to achieve as the result.”

I truly believe that. Most of us cannot think on his level. I know I can’t. You have to accept one of two premises: either President Trump is so lucky he became a billionaire, married an absolutely gorgeous woman, and became president entirely by chance, or he’s a freakin genius. I’m going with genius. I laugh every time I read someone saying Trump should do this or not do that. They don’t have a clue, and don’t know they don’t have a clue.

Joe Scarborough RESIGNED from Congress after her death. Wasn’t that odd?

IIRC, Joe had an 8am meeting in his office the morning the intern’s body was discovered but for some reason never showed up....

hmmmmmm.....

After reading the analysis at AT, I agree.

It now explains a curious statement by Zuckerberg I saw (he’s concerned):

“I’d have to understand what they actually would intend to do,” Zuckerberg said. “But in general, I think a government choosing to censor a platform because they’re worried about censorship doesn’t exactly strike me as the right reflex.”

No one’s talking about “censorship” except in regards to what Twit/Google/FB are doing.

Most-significantly, he also stated,

“I don’t think that Facebook or internet platforms in general should be arbiters of truth,” Zuckerberg told Sorkin in an interview that aired Thursday morning. “Political speech is one of the most sensitive parts in a democracy, and people should be able to see what politicians say.”

He desperately doesn’t want his immunity revoked.

Oh, how I wish I could be a fly on the wall for the inevitable conversation between Dorsey & Zuckerberg (which likely already happened).

Zuck parted company with Twitter awhile back on this issue. Bet he’s feeling good about that.

Only according to his enemies & the willfully blind.

It takes SUPREME SELF-CONTROL to know you are innocent while a soft coup has been designed to take you out of office & lead the nation the way this man has so masterfully.

I don’t think it’s IQ with trump, it’s instinct.

In this case like a wolf tracking his prey, and feinting a move without ever thinking about it.

The hyperventilating liberals could not wait to take the bait.
But President Trump plays politics with a capital “P”.

Trump has said he lays awake at night planning stuff. Almost everything he does is calculated.

Those hyperventilating liberals are going find out that in a legal case, just the discovery process could be very damaging to the Big Tech companies. It would show how Facebook, Twitter and YouTube specifically targeted Conservatives while leaving Leftists pretty much alone.

But if Trump was out to trap Twitter and he did it with his vote fraud posts then where do the Scarborough posts enter into the trap?

He was fishing two poles.
