It seems President Trump is once again taking to Twitter to stir the pot on international relations, and it’s happening bright and early. As Americans start their day, many are met with the jarring reality of Trump’s latest tweets, which are anything but calming.
This morning’s tweets began with his usual tirade against the “Fake News” media, but things escalated quickly when he threatened missile strikes on Syria and issued warnings to Russia. “Get ready, Russia,” he tweeted, providing no tactical advantage while seemingly bypassing any military consultation beforehand. Great start to the day, right?
After a brief pause, Trump returned to Twitter, this time with an unexpected tone. He suggested that nations should “Stop the arms race,” almost as if he were arguing with himself just moments earlier. It’s hard not to notice the contradictions, especially given his recent congratulatory remarks to Putin on his electoral victory.
Before diving into threats of military action, Trump kicked off his morning in a familiar manner: by criticizing “The Failing New York Times.” He dismissed reports about special counsel investigations into a 2015 transaction with a Ukrainian businessman, where the Trump Foundation reportedly received $150,000 for a brief appearance. It’s quite telling when one feels the need to abbreviate “Collusion” to just “C” to communicate the issue.
Trump then reassured the public that everything at the White House is “very calm and calculated.” This assertion comes amidst reports of his frustration regarding the ongoing investigation involving personal attorney Michael Cohen. It’s curious how those who claim to be composed often feel the need to vocalize their calmness, especially when contradicted by media reports of meltdowns and television binges.
Next, he declared that his administration is “doing things that nobody thought possible” (which, I suppose, could be true). He also insisted there’s “No Collusion or Obstruction (other than I fight back).” Perhaps someone should inform him that “fighting back” is essentially a textbook definition of obstruction.
Ultimately, Trump circled back to his favorite targets: fake news and the collusion investigations. Instead of attributing tensions with Russia to the complexities of history, he laid the blame squarely on the “Fake & Corrupt Russia Investigation,” which could easily be shortened to “F&CRI.”
This isn’t the first time Trump has hinted at military aggression; back in January, he boasted about his ability to initiate a nuclear conflict with North Korea. Thankfully, that has yet to materialize. It leaves many wondering why there hasn’t been more intervention regarding his erratic tweets and how they seemingly skirt Twitter’s guidelines on threats of violence.
While it’s not uncommon for presidents to connect with the American people, Trump’s approach is quite different. It feels more akin to a friend going through a rough breakup and drunkenly ranting on social media, and needing someone to step in for their own good.
Unfortunately, there’s no one stepping in to take away Trump’s phone or, more critically, his access to military might.
