Trump Celebrates Presidents Day by Rage Tweeting Before Going Golfing for the Third Day in a Row

Donald Trump celebrated Presidents Day today by dismissing the ongoing investigations on Russia while also slamming former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe.

After Trump boasted over NBC’s recent reporting that the Senate Intel Committee hasn’t found proof of the Trump-Russia collusion theory, he pivoted to attack McCabe for what he said in his interview with 60 Minutes.

“Wow, so many lies by now disgraced acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe. He was fired for lying, and now his story gets even more deranged,” Tump tweeted. “He and Rod Rosenstein, who was hired by Jeff Sessions (another beauty), look like they were planning a very illegal act, and got caught.”

“There is a lot of explaining to do to the millions of people who had just elected a president who they really like and who has done a great job for them with the Military, Vets, Economy and so much more,” Trump continued. “This was the illegal and treasonous ‘insurance policy’ in full action!”

McCabe has been drawing a lot of media interest recently with his latest interviews to promote his new book, The Threat.

Among the most interesting things McCabe told CBS was that members of the Department of Justice talked about whether the 25th Amendment could be invoked against Trump and that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein supposedly offered to wear a wire in the White House.

Critics have taken McCabe’s comments as evidence that a supposed “coup” was formed in the DOJ to force Trump’s removal from office. McCabe’s spokeswoman has spoken against that idea, saying his quotes are being “taken out-of-context and misrepresented.”

McCabe was dismissed in March 2018 after an internal watchdog report found he misled investigators who were looking into FBI leaks about its probe into the Clinton Foundation during the 2016 presidential race.

Rosenstein and the Department of Justice have often been targeted by Trump over special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian election interference and possible collusion with the Trump campaign.

The president has regularly referred to the special counsel probe as a “with hunt” and a “hoax.”

Don’t worry about ol’ Trump though.

Once the rage tweeting was done, he hit the golf course for the third day in a row:
