Oh my God!
The first thing I notice is that he he seems to be quoting Goudy, but the tenses are really strange. The "And I wish I did!" part is interesting as well, because it doesn't seem to be part of the original quote, and is trump's actual commentary coming through.
And with that out of the way, here's the rest
A tweet about the Nashville rally he attended night, was totally not written by him at all.
And this one I just have no idea.

Bob Iger is CEO of the Mouse Empire aka Disney. He also used to be ABC Boss back in the 90s for a year. He's been one of the people who'd actively condemned Roseanne Barr's tweets. ABC is also owned by Disney, so the decision that the show got axed was possibly also made by him (or with his agreement after the fact)
Obviously Trump considers the 'Fake News' about him as bad as virulently racist and antisemitic remarks

"You can reply to this Message!"So Barr tried to say that Ambien (a sleep aid) was responsible for her racist rant on Twitter. The maker of the drug countered to say that racism is not a known side effect of any of their products.

CIA report says North Korea won't denuclearize, but might open a burger joint
Trump is continuing to pursue a nuclear summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un even though the CIA analysis, which is consistent with other expert opinion, casts doubt on the viability of Trump's stated goal for the negotiations, the elimination of North Korea's nuclear weapons stockpile.
"Everybody knows they are not going to denuclearize," said one intelligence official who read the report, which was circulated earlier this month, days before Trump canceled the originally scheduled summit.
In an odd twist, a list of potential concessions by North Korea in the CIA analysis included the possibility that Kim Jong Un may consider offering to open a Western hamburger franchise in Pyongyang as a show of goodwill, according to three national security officials.
It suggests Kim is interested in a peaceful gesture to an American president whose love of fast-food burgers is well known — and who, during the 2016 campaign, had said he wanted to talk nukes over a burger with the North Korean leader.

Which Burger chain would it it be, you think? Mc Donald's, 5 Guys, Burger King, Wendy's, or something else entirely?
We had a pretty good relationship with Russia for like a decade after they opened their doors to Ronald McDonald.
Nothing builds bridges between formerly hostile nations like a shared love of the quarter pounder.

My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.

I believe it's their new "blame literally anything but the actual problem" flavor (now with 50% more desperation!).
i'm tired, my friend
