A tweet knocking President Barack Obama’s and Hillary Clinton’s “failed” policies after three potential terror attacks over the weekend was deleted from Donald Trump’s account on Monday.

The notoriously tweet-happy GOP nominee’s reasons for deleting the tweet after posting it Sunday night were unclear.
Over the weekend, an explosive injured 29 in Manhattan, other devices were discovered in Seaside Park and Elizabeth, New Jersey, and nine people were stabbed in an attack in St. Cloud, Minnesota.
In a Monday statement, the Trump campaign accused the Obama administration of “diminishing the threat” posed by the Islamic State and blamed Clinton for backing the White House’s “failed ISIS strategy to the hilt.”
He’s an asshole. It’s the only reason he ever does anything.
Looks like he found where KellyAnne hid his phone.
I’m sure he will more than make up for this deletion in the coming week.
The debate countdown surely has him on edge.
He’s probably doubting Obama’s birth again.
What is interesting is to look at the tweets he has deleted over the past few weeks. I followed one of the embedded links in the TPM article and found this site, which was new to me. Worth a glance or six…
ETA: what is most interesting (I found) is how quickly most of his tweets were deleted – most of them within minutes. It’s like Ivanka or Kellyanne is sitting right there babysitting him, as if he were a two-year-old and saying, “didn’t I tell you not to do that, give me that damned phone”, while deleting his tweet. It’s very bizarre…
yep. Yes, it’s clear a lesser asshole staffer had to tell him “this is a high level of asshole here…take it down.”
I’m sure the orange asshole, himself, still sees nothing wrong with it and is confused by the hubbub.
