President Trump is up to 48 tweets or retweets this morning. It's 6:15 am where he is in Nevada.

Definitely cult tactics. Jim Jones (also drugged up) would constantly blare out his thoughts on loudspeakers to his followers day and night. Trump just does it via Twitter.

There Are Fine Crickets On Both Sides.@JudgeJeanine asks: "When do you cross the Rubicon?"

Yeah, imagine saying “Elections in [pick Middle Eastern country] bring fundamentalist government to power, which then cracks down on civil liberties and democratic rights in order to maintain control...but that’s just how democracy works; the opposition needs to do better!”

I wrote about Trump’s Henderson rally, “the single most appalling and reckless political event hosted by any presidential nominee in my lifetime by a long shot, if you just didn’t count anything else that Donald Trump did.” https://t.co/HnKAR0h49l
