In a defiant and error-laden tweetstorm that was remarkable even by his own combative standards Trump
stewed aloud and lashed out with fresh anger about the intensifying Russia probe over the weekend.
Rick Wilson, a Republican strategist based in Florida and a Trump critic, said the president’s tweets read to him like “a cry for help.”
“He must be feeling a lot of different pressures building on him right now — personal and political and legal,” Wilson said. “He must feel like he has to sweep all the pieces off the chess board
and try to restart. But these problems can’t be papered over by tweets.”
