Trump Goes on Retweet Frenzy Amid Shutdown Stalemate, Latest Russia Reports
Amid poll data that shows that he hasn’t really been able to sway anyone in favor of a Southern border wall, President Donald Trump deployed arguably the most powerful tool in his arsenal to try and rally support — his Twitter account.
Morning tweeting from the president is nothing new, of course. But Tuesday’s activity is noteworthy in that it predominantly consisted of retweets. Among the far-right conservatives whom Trump amplified in an effort to drive home his points to a mass audience; Talking Points USA founder Charlie Kirk, former CNN contributor Paris Dennard, and Donald Trump Jr.
And the border wall was not the only topic on the president’s mind. Amid the latest reports on Russia and the FBI from The New York Times and the Washington Post, the president also retweeted some commentary from his backers on the special counsel’s investigation.
Here’s a look the posts which moved the president to hit the retweet button this Tuesday morning:

No one accused Obama of being a Russian agent after he asked for “more flexibility” until after the the election, or when Obama ignored Putin’s invasion into Crimea, or when Assad used chemical gas in Syria and Obama’s red line was crossed

GREAT AGAIN:
Prior to 2018, unemployment has only been below 4% 5 times since 1970
Under Donald Trump, in 2018, unemployment dipped below 4% 7 TIMES—in ONE year!
What exactly are the Democrats resisting?

So…by the FBI’s post-Trump standards for C.I. investigations, would this off-mike exchange between Obama & Putin’s deputy (where Obama offers Putin “more flexibility” on NATO missile defense in Europe) be grounds for opening an espionage probe of Obama?https://t.co/HKIYwiLv9Q
