Twitter Freaks Out Over Trump’s Cryptic ‘Calm Before the Storm’ Comment: ‘What the F*ck’
President Trump made a comment earlier tonight during a photo op with military leaders about “the calm before the storm.”
The President didn’t really elaborate on his cryptic remark, and Twitter was just a teensy bit alarmed by this:
A reassuring note from our Commander in Chief. https://t.co/U5Fxq6UQev

Hopefully he is referring to a forthcoming Twitter storm https://t.co/QkT7SBblav

He is just not equipped to be in that office, and anyone who retains the ability to perceive reality knows it. https://t.co/dpCEDGGfAA

Just so everybody is aware, this has been “the calm.” https://t.co/RIg0r1E60H

He said this surrounded by military commanders. https://t.co/UToTnvNtfN

maybe I'm old fashioned but I don't like when presidents suggest there'll be military news & then cut away to an indefinite commercial break

“Tune in next week,” the president said “for the next exciting episode of ‘The White House.’” https://t.co/RIg0r1VHph

Trump said this at a gathering of his military commanders. So we start bombing Friday at 5? :/ https://t.co/WDc8E9bs6I

Not a joke, safe to assume North Korea, Iran, Syria, etc are obligated to take this seriously. All we can do is hope they do not over-react. https://t.co/iv6HGca975
