It’s Thursday.
Day 16 of the Impeachment Inquiry has arrived.
On the 16th day of the Impeachment Inquiry President Trump will hold a campaign rally in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
So far for rally goer prep the President has tweeted 12 times and retweeted 3 times.
The Impeachment Inquiry Tweets.
“Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told reporters Thursday his controversial July call with President Trump involved no bribe, blackmail or quid pro quo, as impeachment-minded Democrats claim.” This should immediately end the talk of impeachment! https://t.co/0mOTK4dNC3
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 10, 2019
In his next two tweets he attacks Fox News. Irony will not die.
According to the article newly elected Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky told gathered reporters inside a Kiev food market on Thursday that he believes the transcript released by the White House is accurate.
He went on to say that he knew the U.S. withheld the $400 million in military aid “due to concerns about corruption.”
Zelensky said “there was no blackmail,” adding, “nobody asked [for] anything.”
Zelensky: We are ready to continue to cooperate for the next steps specifically we are almost ready to buy more Javelins from the United States for defense purposes.
Trump: I would like you to do us a favor though…
Where is Hunter Biden? He has disappeared while the Fake News protects his Crooked daddy! https://t.co/Gtwn0nxOTt

Reminder Hunter Biden is a private citizen. And since when do “Conservative Republicans” gasp in horror over how much someone gets paid, in a private matter?
The President of the Ukraine just stated again, in the strongest of language, that President Trump applied no pressure and did absolutely nothing wrong. He used the strongest language possible. That should end this Democrat Scam, but it won’t, because the Dems & Media are FIXED!

Why isn’t the IG investigating his so-called Whistleblower? All bad info!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 10, 2019
The ICIG issued a 4 page statement on September 30th. In the report it explains the following.
The [LAW] required that the Whistleblower aka the Complainant be; an employee of an element of the intelligence community, an employee assigned or detailed to an element of the intelligence community, or an employee of a contractor to the intelligence community.
The ICIG confirmed the whistleblower was such an employee, detailee, or contractor.
The [LAW] also required that the Complainant provide; a complaint or information with respect to an “urgent concern,” which is defined, in relevant part, as: “A serious or flagrant problem, abuse, violation of the law or Executive order, or deficiency relating to the funding, administration, or operation of an intelligence activity within the responsibility and authority of the Director of National Intelligence involving classified information, but does not include differences of opinions concerning public policy matters.”
The report goes on to explain that the ICIG had fourteen calendar days to decide if the information provided was not only an urgent concern but that the urgent concern appeared credible; The Inspector General of the Intelligence Community determined, after conducting a preliminary review, that there were reasonable grounds to believe the urgent concern appeared credible.
If the four page summary is not enough to convince you. The Acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Magurie told the House Intelligence Committee that the Whistleblower followed the law, and added that he believed the Whistleblower “did the right” thing.
The Fox News’ Pollster(s) suck!, tweets.
From the day I announced I was running for President, I have NEVER had a good @FoxNews Poll. Whoever their Pollster is, they suck. But @FoxNews is also much different than it used to be in the good old days. With people like Andrew Napolitano, who wanted to be a Supreme….
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 10, 2019
…Court Justice & I turned him down (he’s been terrible ever since), Shep Smith, @donnabrazile (who gave Crooked Hillary the debate questions & got fired from @CNN), & others, @FoxNews doesn’t deliver for US anymore. It is so different than it used to be. Oh well, I’m President!

There is always a tweet, take it away Trump Twitter Archive.

Anyone who attacks the President at onetime or another “begged” him for a job, just ask him. 🙄
What they did to earn his ire, released a new poll that shows 51 percent, a new high, want President Trump impeached and removed from office. 4 percent want him impeached but not removed, while only 40 percent oppose impeachment.
The methodology.
Poll was taken between October 6th through the 8th, among a random national sample of 1,003 registered voters. Landline was 229. Cellphone was 774. According to the full results breakdown the telephone numbers were randomly selected.
As to Fox News in General.
Trump complained about Fox News mistreating him as @MattGertz was in the middle of tweeting out 47 (and counting) times Trump has quoted or retweeted Fox News since Friday night. https://t.co/zbRfSE6LZ5 pic.twitter.com/ltxFmfqFR9

Defending his abandoning of the Kurds tweets.
Turkey has been planning to attack the Kurds for a long time. They have been fighting forever. We have no soldiers or Military anywhere near the attack area. I am trying to end the ENDLESS WARS. Talking to both sides. Some want us to send tens of thousands of soldiers to….
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 10, 2019
….the area and start a new war all over again. Turkey is a member of NATO. Others say STAY OUT, let the Kurds fight their own battles (even with our financial help). I say hit Turkey very hard financially & with sanctions if they don’t play by the rules! I am watching closely.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 10, 2019
I like most spent yesterday, Wednesday in the Rage Sea. Today, Thursday, the day the President will lie to his fans aka voters, I’m just sad. He made a feckless decision, after a phone call with Turkey upending military policy regarding the Kurds.
Dave from Florida shared an article posted on MSN News describing what Fox News reporter Jennifer Griffin reported about conditions on the ground in Syria.
Her tweet thread.
I just spoke to a distraught US Special Forces soldier who is among the 1000 or so US troops in Syria tonight who is serving alongside the SDF Kurdish forces. It was one of the hardest phone calls I have ever taken.
— Jennifer Griffin (@JenGriffinFNC) October 9, 2019
"I am ashamed for the first time in my career."
This veteran US Special forces soldier has trained indigenous forces on multiple continents. He is on the frontlines tonight and said they are witnessing Turkish atrocities.
— Jennifer Griffin (@JenGriffinFNC) October 9, 2019
"Turkey is not doing what it agreed to. It's horrible," this military source on the ground told me.
"We met every single security agreement. The Kurds met every single agreement. There was NO threat to the Turks – NONE – from this side of the border." "This is insanity," the concerned US service member told me. ""I don't know what they call atrocities but they are happening."
— Jennifer Griffin (@JenGriffinFNC) October 9, 2019
This American soldier told me the Kurds have not left their positions guarding the ISIS prisoners. In fact "they prevented a prison break last night without us."
— Jennifer Griffin (@JenGriffinFNC) October 9, 2019
"They are not abandoning our side (yet)."
The Kurds are "pleading for our support." We are doing "nothing."
Troops on the ground in Syria and their commanders were "surprised" by the decision Sunday night.
— Jennifer Griffin (@JenGriffinFNC) October 9, 2019
Of the President's decision: "He doesn't understand the problem. He doesn't understand the repercussions of this. Erdogan is an Islamist, not a level headed actor."
Acc to this US soldier on the ground tonight in Syria: "The Kurds are as close to Western thinking in the Middle East as anyone. "It's a shame. It's horrible." "This is not helping the ISIS fight." Re: ISIS prisoners: "Many of them will be free in the coming days and weeks."
— Jennifer Griffin (@JenGriffinFNC) October 9, 2019
This US Special Forces soldier wanted me to know: "The Kurds are sticking by us. No other partner I have ever dealt with would stand by us."
— Jennifer Griffin (@JenGriffinFNC) October 9, 2019
Disappointed in the decisions coming from their senior leaders.
But according to President Trump that’s okay because they are just going to escape into Europe.

He added via a tweet from late Wednesday.
In case the Kurds or Turkey lose control, the United States has already taken the 2 ISIS militants tied to beheadings in Syria, known as the Beetles, out of that country and into a secure location controlled by the U.S. They are the worst of the worst!

For more thoughts, not mine, as I said, I’m just sad today.

The Rest of the Tweets.
Big day of negotiations with China. They want to make a deal, but do I? I meet with the Vice Premier tomorrow at The White House.
