to make sure that this was not from a Trump parody account. I don’t even know what to say. All of Trump’s tweets are crazy, but this one leaves me speechless.

1. wouldn't interpret my whims into policy without questioning them
2. was surprised to learn that I was a Con Man
3. didn't realize that destroying the State Department was the goal of my Russian handlers

IMHO, taking the job in the 1st place = dumb as a rock. so Trump's got a point.
