President Donald Trump on Tuesday took a step back from his hectic public schedule in the run-up to the midterms, but filled his free time with a flurry of eyebrow-raising activity on Twitter.

Trump, who returned the previous evening from a trip to Florida to survey hurricane damage, sent out rapid-fire posts throughout the morning, touching on everything from the disappearance of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi to the heritage of Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass). He even threw in a “WITCH HUNT” for the first time in weeks. The president tagged Fox News in several posts, suggesting he was live-tweeting while he watched his favorite news network.


Here are some the president composed to christen the day:

Pocahontas (the bad version), sometimes referred to as Elizabeth Warren, is getting slammed. She took a bogus DNA test and it showed that she may be 1/1024, far less than the average American. Now Cherokee Nation denies her, “DNA test is useless.” Even they don’t want her. Phony! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 16, 2018

Now that her claims of being of Indian heritage have turned out to be a scam and a lie, Elizabeth Warren should apologize for perpetrating this fraud against the American Public. Harvard called her “a person of color” (amazing con), and would not have taken her otherwise! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 16, 2018

Thank you to the Cherokee Nation for revealing that Elizabeth Warren, sometimes referred to as Pocahontas, is a complete and total Fraud! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 16, 2018

Renewing his attacks against one of his most vocal critics, Trump mocked Warren, using one of his favorite nicknames for her, after she took a DNA test to prove Native American ancestry. Warren also received criticism from a Cherokee leader, who said a DNA test does not prove tribal heritage.

“Op-Ed praises Trump Administrations efforts at the Border.” @FoxNews The Washington Examiner States, “Finally, the government has taken steps to stop releasing unaccompanied minors to criminals and traffickers.” This was done by the Obama Administration! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 16, 2018

The United States has strongly informed the President of Honduras that if the large Caravan of people heading to the U.S. is not stopped and brought back to Honduras, no more money or aid will be given to Honduras, effective immediately! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 16, 2018

Following reports that a group of hundreds of Honduran migrants had entered Guatemala en route to the United States, Trump demanded the Honduran government stop its citizens or risk losing U.S. aid. The president has long advocated curtailing foreign aid, and Vice President Mike Pence urged the Honduran, Guatemalan and Salvadoran governments last week to stop their citizens from entering the United States.

For the record, I have no financial interests in Saudi Arabia (or Russia, for that matter). Any suggestion that I have is just more FAKE NEWS (of which there is plenty)! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 16, 2018

Trump has drawn criticism for not adequately confronting the Saudi government over reports that it assassinated Khashoggi, one of its citizens. His tweet and mounting criticisms come as several reports detail ties between Trump and Saudi businessmen.

Incredible number just out, 7,036,000 job openings. Astonishing - it’s all working! Stock Market up big on tremendous potential of USA. Also, Strong Profits. We are Number One in World, by far! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 16, 2018

The president has repeatedly used a steady surge in the stock market as a sign of improved economic health under his administration, though his critics credit the growth to initiatives started under President Barack Obama.

“Federal Judge throws out Stormy Danials lawsuit versus Trump. Trump is entitled to full legal fees.” @FoxNews Great, now I can go after Horseface and her 3rd rate lawyer in the Great State of Texas. She will confirm the letter she signed! She knows nothing about me, a total con! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 16, 2018

The adult-film actress Stormy Daniels sued the president for defamation after he denied her story of a man threatening her not to speak openly about an affair she says she had with Trump. The suit was dismissed and the president called her “Horseface,” reflecting his history of mocking women’s appearances.

“Conflict between Glen Simpson’s testimony to another House Panel about his contact with Justice Department official Bruce Ohr. Ohr was used by Simpson and Steele as a Back Channel to get (FAKE) Dossier to FBI. Simpson pleading Fifth.” Catherine Herridge. Where is Jeff Sessions? — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 16, 2018

Is it really possible that Bruce Ohr, whose wife Nellie was paid by Simpson and GPS Fusion for work done on the Fake Dossier, and who was used as a Pawn in this whole SCAM (WITCH HUNT), is still working for the Department of Justice????? Can this really be so????? — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 16, 2018

Bruce Ohr is a Justice Department official who had contact with a former British intelligence agent, Christopher Steele, known for his report suggesting that the Russian government had compromising information on Trump. The president has attacked Ohr in the past as an example of disloyalty within the Justice Department under Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

Just spoke with the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia who totally denied any knowledge of what took place in their Turkish Consulate. He was with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo… — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 16, 2018

…during the call, and told me that he has already started, and will rapidly expand, a full and complete investigation into this matter. Answers will be forthcoming shortly. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 16, 2018

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has repeatedly claimed ignorance of what happened to Khashoggi after he entered the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. Trump drew criticism after calling for Saudi Arabia, along with Turkey, to conduct the investigation into Khashoggi’s disappearance.

WOW, John James is making headway in Michigan. We are bringing jobs back to the State, and the People of Michigan appreciate it. Debbie Stabenow has been no help, if anything, a major hindrance. John James is a star, I hope the voters see it. Polls are tightening! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 16, 2018

Trump’s tweets included his usual endorsement of Republican candidates, who face a wave of Democratic challengers in the upcoming midterm elections.
