President Trump Lashes Out at Oprah and Russia Investigation in Tweet Storm as Nation Mourns

"President Trump Lashes Out at Oprah and Russia Investigation in Tweet Storm as Nation Mourns"

A TIME article talks about Donald Trump's recent actions taken with all this controversy going on in the world. While the nation mourned over the latest school shooting in Parkland, Florida, Donald Trump kept silent on the matter and the escalating gun control debate and instead focused on raging at the FBI for what he thinks is a fixation on the Russian investigation. I think Donald Trump is more so afraid of just looking weak to other countries due to him tweeting out, "They are laughing their asses off in Moscow." But while even with the school shooting and the new outrage coming out about  needing tougher gun laws, Trump still remained focused on Russia after and indictment from Robert Mueller on Friday charged 13 Russians with a plot to interfere in the U.S. presidential election. Trump discussed this matter and said, "The indictment doesn't show that any American knowingly participated as proof of his innocence and is deeply frustrated that the media are still suggesting that this campaign may have colluded with Russian officials." Trump is ready for all this light on him and the election to go away so they can focus on more important things, but while he's trying to have everyone forget about it, it is drawing more attention to it all.  

After all the election and Russia controversy, Trump shifted his Twitter critique to Oprah Winfrey and her suggestion to run for president in 2020. Trump stated, "Just watched a very insecure Oprah Winfrey, who at one point I knew very well, interview a panel of people on 60 Minutes. The questions were biased and slanted, the facts incorrect. Hope Oprah runs so she can be exposed and defeated just like all of the others!" Clearly Trump is feeling intimidated by Oprah's actions and it will be interesting to see the steps she will or will not take in the future relating to the 2020 election.
