Trump Tweeted For Everyone To 'Read The Transcripts'—And Got Dragged Hard By People Who Actually Did

During the first day of his Senate impeachment trial, President Donald Trump tweeted from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, imploring people back in the U.S. to:

"READ THE TRANSCRIPTS!"

It turns out, many people have and, unfortunately for Trump, it doesn't do much to help him.

Most who had read the "transcripts" (actually a summary memoranda) released by the White House knew they were incriminating.



Several people even pointed out the sections in which Trump appears to be pressuring Ukraine into investigating Joe Biden.



Those transcripts are literally the first reason President Trump is being impeached.

It seems unclear whether or not many of Trump's supporters have actually read the transcripts, however.


But, for the President's critics, reading them again serves as a reminder to keep on as we've been doing.



While we're making strange demands of each other, there are a few other things American citizens would love for you to do, Mr. President.

Sometimes, it feels like President Trump is trying to convince us we're insane and he's the only person we can trust.

For once, President Trump and his critics seem to agree: everyone should read the transcripts.

The selection of the former Fox weekend host has sparked surprise within the Pentagon, where officials have privately questioned his qualifications for the role. The extent of his relevant experience appears to be that he's an Army National Guard veteran, having served in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

Tim Kaine Rips GOP For Misspelling 'Military' In Poster Bemoaning Lowered Standards In Military

Virginia Democratic Senator Tim Kaine called out Republicans after noticing they misspelled "military" in their presentation griping about "DEI" during the Senate confirmation hearing of former Fox News host Pete Hegseth for the Secretary of Defense position, which would put him in charge of the nation's armed forces.

Missouri Republican Senator Eric Schmitt used the hearing as an opportunity to rail against diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives that the GOP has argued are discriminatory and try to address racial discrimination by disadvantaging other groups, particularly white Americans.
