No way he's figured out how to change the subject from attorney-client privilege

Plus the grammar is too smooth, there are no spelling errors. Come on, that's not him.

22. He could be using Tweetdeck.

Tweetdeck is pretty widely used among people in the media. It allows you to type several tweets at once, then schedule them for the future. So in theory, he could write four tweets last night, schedule them for 8:00, 8:01, 8:02 and 8:03. Then in the morning, Twitter sends them out without him having to do anything.

Smells more like somebody else set up those tweets to go out at 5:24 a.m. so they would sound like him, except they forgot to space them out.

Somebody from the White House staff (probably the new Hope Hicks replacement) emails him the intelligent statements, and he copies and pastes them into his Twitter. Ta-da! Instant "presidential" pronouncements.

Japan/Putin/Abe have been cozying up for a while now.

So I would guess Abe would probably say.. don't worry donald, putin will take care of all of us.

... and if Mueller has proof of that then it is game over. Cohen's only real client was and
still is Donald Trump and the idea that Cohen went 1/4 of the way around the world and
met and paid off Russians that were involved in the hacking of our elections and voter
rolls w/out Trump's knowledge is laughable. BTW Ivanka and jared were in Europe at the
same time too and I have no doubt had knowledge of the meeting and very well might have
been there for the meeting too.

Until 5 years ago, I had lived in San Diego for many years and crossed often into Mexico. There is and has been an existing wall for a very long time. No "new" wall is being built there at all. While I can't comment on the situation east of Otay Mesa, the wall at that location looked strong and very secure, too.
