“911 I would like to report a murder. Senator Blumenthat was slain by a top tier troll that shitposted him so hard that he went into a feral position and just died.”

“On the floor of the Senate on March 27, 1986, Sen. John Kerry issued this statement: “I remember Christmas of 1968 sitting on a gunboat in Cambodia...”

Lying SoS.

You can see all the evil in his face that wasn’t there as a young Marine. Wonder how old he was when he sold his soul?

“shitposted”

Is that a thing, or did you just coin a term?

I have always heard the word “crying” used inclusively to encompass any type of complaint, as in “crying and moaning” etc.

"... and then he throws in a minor but false detail. The MSM can’t help itself. "

Trump rings the bell. The liberal dogs salivate.

I'm convinced that Trump does do these things purposely. I haven't yet figured out whether everything he does is so purposeful or whether the pattern you have observed is designed to obscure those times when he makes real errors.

Either way, he is making his enemies look very foolish. I think some smarter Democrats are starting to catch on but most of the liberal media is clueless.

I love Trump. He tells a truth he knows won’t get reported so he tells a fib to make sure they report it as a way to hurt Trump.

Trump is brilliant how he trolls people like this. Now everyone will talk about how Blumenthal didn’t cry when he was busted.

Hell, look at his face. Looks like he’s crying to me.

Agree with your analysis. Trump does make the occasional error. But with his style being to yank the MSM’s chain at every turn, it gets harder and harder to convince people the error wasn’t planned.

Add to all this the fact that Trump’s supporters instantly turn his errors into wildly popular memes, and the MSM struggles to figure out if they’re coming or going. If Trump didn’t plan covfefe, he should have. It’s legendary.

Blumenthal accused the Trump campaign of crimes.

Flynn in legal quicksand - maybe the 1st to face charges. Concealed foreign financial crimes cast light on Trump campaign collusion w/Russians --- @SenBlumenthal - 12:44 PM - 5 Aug 2017

With broad mandate, Special Counsel must pursue all financial dealings - past and present - involving Russians and Trump campaign. --- @SenBlumenthal - 12:44 PM - 5 Aug 2017

Russian financial payouts straight out of their playbook sabotaging democracies. Mueller must follow the money. --- @SenBlumenthal - 12:45 PM - 5 Aug 2017

He also falsely accused Trump of threatening to fire Mueller.

Congress must act ASAP to avoid potential constitutional crisis raised by Trump's ominous, ongoing threats of improperly firing Mueller. --- @SenBlumenthal - 6:01 PM - 3 Aug 2017

"shitpost" has been around for awhile.

The exact origin of the term "shitposting" is unknown, but the earliest-known instance was submitted to the Something Awful Forums^[14] on April 10th, 2007, when member OhSNAP!Tray used the expression when referring to worthless threads on the site's BYOB forum.

I do think Mr. Trump will go down as the greatest troll in history.

Not to mention GTBTP! That was supposed to take him down and it was morphed through meme magic into a rallying cry.

“the earliest-known instance was submitted to the Something Awful Forums^[14] on April 10th, 2007”

Well, I’ll be a monkey’s uncle.

I guess I do miss some things by just hanging out here.

Oh, it is a thing, a mega-meme. President Trump is the Shitposter in Chief who uses tweets to beat lying idiots into submission.

CNN blackmail accusation spurs all out meme war

You can always google it too.

Nice analysis. This strategy explains a lot of good coverage Trump gets.

You never know what will catch on, do you?

Shitposter caught on, but referring to feminists as “shit goblins” hasn’t. Go figure.
