Donald Trump’s First Tweets of 2019 Are Here and Boy Are They INSANE
Happy New Year! It’s January 1st, and Donald Trump has issued his first tweets of 2019, and as usual it’s a mixed bag of crazy and questionable sentiments.
Trump’s twitter is a media outlet unto itself, a source of news stories, memes, haters, mockers, fans, devotion, controversy, policy and more. From time to time people pretend at ignoring it or at deeming it beneath America’s attention to obsess over, but like celebrity break-up stories and buddy cop films, the President’s tweets aren’t leaving the American spotlight anytime soon. So his first tweet of the new year is, of course, of interest, be that interest morbid, prurient, or genuine.
Well this year’s first tweet is here, and, given all the above, you may find it rather underwhelming. It’s a book pitch for a Fox News hack.
Dr. Sebastian Gorka, a very good and talented guy, has a great new book just out, “Why We Fight.” Lots of insight – Enjoy!

But don’t fret, the next one was pretty crazy.
Trump issued an all-caps New Year’s Day tweet predicting that 2019 “will be a fantastic year for those not suffering from Trump derangement syndrome.”
Trump, as he did last year, wished a happy New Year to “the haters” and the “fake news media” before saying “enjoy the ride” heading into 2019.
“Just calm down and enjoy the ride, great things are happening for our country!” Trump wrote in all capital letters.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE, INCLUDING THE HATERS AND THE FAKE NEWS MEDIA! 2019 WILL BE A FANTASTIC YEAR FOR THOSE NOT SUFFERING FROM TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME. JUST CALM DOWN AND ENJOY THE RIDE, GREAT THINGS ARE HAPPENING FOR OUR COUNTRY!

Then an hour later, just moments ago, a more sedate sentiment.
Happy New Year!

Dear Don
This is the year it all comes crashing down. This is the year we will see that America has been great all along & that our system works & provides us w/ protections against threats like you-the corrupt, the unfit,those who think they are above the law. Happy New Year.

The ALL CAPS really tie-together this unhinged rant from the President of the United States against the vast majority of Americans who disapprove of the President's job performance. Welcome to 2019! #HappyNewYear https://t.co/J4L6Xa7Per
