(1) Trump fam, there are two narratives vying for your support at the moment. Please allow me to explain.
(2) The actual Trump narrative, hinted at in this tweet today, is that the midterms are all-important and we need to stay focused on them and not be distracted.

(3) The literal meaning of the tweet is that Congressional Republicans should stop wasting time on immigration, since Democrats have said they will obstruct ANYTHING they try.
The other meaning of the tweet is that you and I should stop wasting time on Democrat distractions.
(4) Yes, the reckless disregard for human life shown by Democrats, whether it's the Southern Border crisis, Iran, or abortion up until the moment of birth, provokes justifiable rage in us, because we have a working moral compass, whether through faith in God or not.
(5) Trump is a principled realist, a pragmatist, a resultsist. He declared today that while the Democrat motto is RESIST, the MAGA Republican motto is PRODUCE.
In order to produce law changes, we must be realistic, strategic and patient. And we must elect more GOP candidates.
(6) I am sure it infuriates Trump that a portion of GOP voters still support toxic or at best, ineffective, primary candidates like Roy Moore, Travis Allen or Austin Petersen, for example.
His endorsements are sound. We should pay attention to them.
>Vote for Trump-endorsed candidates in the remaining primaries
>Vote for GOP nominees in November
>Work hard in the midterms
>Ignore distractions
>Return strong majorities in November
>Resume the full MAGA agenda in January
(8) Now, here are the points of the opposing narrative, pushed by those who act as if they support Trump, or the MAGA agenda, or the conservative agenda, but are just in it for the money they are making. And there are a lot of them, inside & outside Congress & the USA itself.
(9) They claim that Russia is not the enemy, [insert thing] is.
Folks, it is possible that Russia can be the enemy at the same time as China, Iran, Islamist terrorism, drug cartels, communist-globalism, the EU, Antifa, Soros, DSA, OFA, the Muslim Brotherhood & the UN are.
(10) Putin is not some well-meaning unfairly maligned teddy bear. He wants to get the Soviet band back together. If you don't get how bad this is, read about life during the 1st Cold War.
The 2nd Cold War started in December 1991. Trump does not support Putin. Never has.
(11) Since the Bolshevik revolution of 1917, the regime in Moscow has yearned for the destruction of the USA. Communists play the long game, and they count on you and I forgetting the seeds they plant decades before. The only way to defeat them is to get patient like they are.
(12) Watch the Trump interviews from the 1990s about North Korea & other countries, & you will start to appreciate what a remarkably patient man he is.
He plays his cards close to his chest. He also deploys chaff to distract/set things up, like his supposed anger at Sessions.
(13) The idea that Trump would really have opposed the recusal of Sessions, while keeping him there all this time, is so implausible it's funny. Same goes for Rosenstein, Wray & anyone else involved. These men are incredibly patient & strategic. I've explained it many times.
(14) Along with bashing Trump appointees & pretending Putin is a teddy bear, the narrative pushers lie about both sets of Syria strikes, Assad, chemical weapons, and Trump's national security policy in general. Terms like the Rothschilds, zionism & neocon soon follow.
(15) They're genuinely bigoted against Muslims. I'm not talking about Jihadist terrorists - I'm proudly against them, based on their violent actions, not their supposed religion. I'm talking about bigotry against any & all Muslims, & the unfounded fear of sharia law in the West.
(16) They're genuinely bigoted against Central Americans, whether they are unlawfully or lawfully in the US. They don't make the critical distinction between actions, such as breaking the law, & innate characteristics like race. They are no better than the left in this regard.
(17) They don't trust Trump on the issue of potential amnesty or compromises that may be necessary to get the law changed & save lives. He always knew the Democrats wouldn't agree to a DACA fix if their own lives depended on it. It was & is a rhetorical tool to expose them.
(18) They attack people like Lindsey Graham, Kevin McCarthy and yes, Mitch McConnell, who have demonstrated support for Trump through word and actions over and over. They support a whole raft of Congressmen who attack Sessions & Rosenstein when there is no need & it does harm.
(19) There are many more examples by which you can easily identify which narrative is being pushed, I've written several threads about it. I hope you will take on board the points I've made above.
Trust those who read the full reports, papers & transcripts, like I do.
(20) Every claim I made above is backed by significant reading of primary sources. You can read those sources too, and challenge my claims with evidence. I don't waste time on unsupported claims and logical fallacies these days.
I seek to avoid distractions from the midterms.
(21) Trump wants us to focus on getting the best midterm results we can, so the MAGA agenda can continue in the next Congress from January onwards.
Every wrong move the #KeepDiggingDemocrats make is helping to achieve their electoral bloodbath.
(2) Brett M. Kavanaugh will soon be the 102nd Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the USA. He has earned this highest honor throughout his life, inspired by his trailblazing mother, Judge Martha Kavanaugh.
His title for these few hours is Associate Justice Designate.
(3) This statement from the Supreme Court explains the two ceremonies:
(2) This WaPo reporter is incorrect about the vote being "scheduled for" Saturday. The earliest time a vote COULD be held is Saturday pm. There's no reason not to hold it on Sun/Mon IF we need Daines. I think we won't. Read my 5 tweets about him here:
(1) A directory of my Kavanaugh threads since July 9, 2018.
I never planned more than a couple of threads about him this year but, I shoulda known the Dems would try to destroy whoever was the nominee this time.
(2) Like Democrats, I'd already decided how I felt about him before his nomination was announced. I live-tweeted the announcement, which was a great event in itself.
(3) I followed Kavanaugh's progress over the summer and on September 22nd, I finally wrote a thread about the preparations for the all-important hearing on September 27th. It covers the hearing before the next thread started the day after.
(2) Mitch laughing to himself about how absurd it is that he has to push his way through the crowd of reporters on 9/25/18.
(3) Sen Grassley is 85 years old. (Democrats have senators around that age, too.)
Today he had to hold onto a Capitol Police officer to reduce the risk of a reporter knocking him over. This has to stop. Senators must return to being able to walk around freely at work.
(2) First Lady Melania Trump is a natural in this important role.
She's one of those women whose face lights up whenever she is around children. God Bless our great First Lady.
👠🇺🇸
(3) FLOTUS left Joint Base Andrews in her trademark high heels and arrived in Ghana wearing practical flats. She still looks sensational, whatever she happens to wear!
(2) Cloture in the Senate is a procedural step that you can learn more about at the link below. The senate.gov website is the best resource for learning about Senate procedure and a lot more. Same for house.gov.
(3) Watching live Senate floor proceedings is boring as hell, as they pass bills for naming Post Offices, & so on. But every now & then, they confirm a SCOTUS judge. And this time, they will affirm our great #BillOfRights#DueProcess & the hard-won #RuleOfLaw. Seriously. 🇺🇸🦅
