As the failure of the House Obamacare repeal bill settled in and House Intelligence Chair Devin Nunes (R-CA) continued to defend his trip to the White House, President Donald Trump tried to take back the narrative with a series of angry tweets.

First, Trump tried to make Hillary Clinton his foil again, urging the House Intelligence Committee too look into the Clintons rather than potential connections between his campaign and Russia.

The President then pivoted to health care and blamed the bill’s defeat on the House Freedom Caucus, rather than Democrats.

    And because I’m just naturally generous by nature, I also asked if he would like to just go ahead and plead guilty, thereby skipping the orange jumpsuits, and go directly into prison dungarees. We all know how crappy clothes make the man.

    No word back from Mango Mussolini yet.

  2. When does he start blaming the voters for getting him into this mess?
