Donald Trump seems to be having a pretty bad day so far. The first indictments and arrests were made this morning as a result of Michael Flynn’s plea deal, and it’s not difficult to parse that Flynn only got a free pass from prison because he gave up Trump as well. Not shockingly, Trump is ranting and raving in ways that are increasingly dishonest and, well, weird.

Trump began the day in somewhat predictable fashion: lies about Obamacare, lies about France, and lies about China. Then he tried to blame the worsening U.S. economy and plummeting stock market on the Federal Reserve, a reminder that the lifelong financial crook has no understanding of legitimate economics whatsoever. But then Trump returned to his favorite talking point these days: his border wall, which according to him either has or has not already been built, and will either be paid for by Mexico or by the Democrats.

Donald Trump posted this tweet: “Anytime you hear a Democrat saying that you can have good Border Security without a Wall, write them off as just another politician following the party line. Time for us to save billions of dollars a year and have, at the same time, far greater safety and control!” Well, that was his second try.

In his first attempt, Donald Trump tweeted “Boarder Security” instead of “Border Security” and didn’t get around to fixing it until three hours later. This set off a feeding frenzy in which so many people made fun of him, the phrase ended up trending on Twitter. Of course this isn’t even the first time Trump has made that particular mistake.
