(1) @RoyalTXGirl asks a question.
(2) Let me explain how @realDonaldTrump works.
It's similar to the advice I got back when I was trying to be a successful author.
(3) A VERY skilled editor told me the following:
"Every single sentence you write must advance the plot."
(4) It's how I write my tweet threads.
People compliment me on them.
Well, I'm working hard to make them compelling.
(5) Every tweet must advance the "plot" of the thread.
No wasted words.
(6) Every action Trump takes is in service to the "plot."
The SPECIFICS don't matter, because we're talking VERY small numbers of people.
(7) Remember the Central American Caravan Juggernaut of Death?
Remember the HYSTERIA?
The caravan barely existed. It totally petered out.
(8) That's because the CARAVAN wasn't the plot.
"Democrats are the party of illegal immigration" is the plot.
(9) What did Sessions and Trump accomplish with this whole "family separation" issue?
They alerted Americans that entire illegal FAMILIES are coming.
AND.
(10) Americans saw the Democrats fighting tooth and nail to allow entire illegal families to pour into the country through the southern border.
Another sentence that advanced the plot.
(11) The Democrats are the party of illegal immigration."
(12) A subplot that makes the plot more compelling:
Democrats are wildly insane.
(13) Elected official @BrianSimsPA greets the vice president of the United States.
(14) Denise Christiansen @denisec_smiles demands action.
(15) The plot is that the Democrats are the party of illegal immigration, and the subplot is that the Democrats are utterly deranged with hate.
Every action Trump takes is advancing the plot and subplot.
(16) Of course Trump didn't MAKE Brian and Denise go round the bend.
They always WERE round the bend.
Trump simply does and says things that he knows will goad people into losing it.
(17) How carefully does Trump think out his plots?
THIS carefully.
Kim Jong Un ends visit to China with a message for the US
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un ended a celebratory visit to China's President Xi Jinping on Wednesday with tea, praise, handshakes -- and a message for the US.
(18) Everything that every single person says in this article is wrong.
The entire piece is malarkey on every level.
Why do I say that?
(19) CNN itself reported why everyone is wrong.
CIA Director Mike Pompeo secretly met with North Korea's Kim Jong Un
CIA Director Mike Pompeo visited North Korea more than two weeks ago for a secret meeting with leader Kim Jong Un in Pyongyang, sources confirmed to CNN.
(20) "Pompeo, who is US President Donald Trump's nominee for Secretary of State, didn't take any officials from the White House or State Department with him on the trip, only intelligence officials, one source said Tuesday."
(21) The CIA Director secretly went to Pyongyang and took only intelligence officials.
It didn't leak.
(22) Am I the only one who understand what happened?
Pompeo set up a secure video link between Kim and Trump.
That's the end of the problem.
(23) Trump is still pushing China over trade.
(24) North Korea can now communicate directly with South Korea and the US without Chinese interference.
Doesn't anyone know anything?
(25) The reality is that a SMALL NUMBER of people know what's happening, and all of them are in control right now.
(26) What's this?
(27) When I pull back far enough, you can see the big picture.
(28) We're on a safari right now.
(29) My unsolicited advice to you is to put away your magnifying glass and enjoy the scenery.
(30) They're all wrong.
