Is there a 12-step program for Twitter addiction?

I don’t know of one, but there’s treatment for practically every type of addiction these days — so there must be some way to persuade President Trump to stay away from his phone or laptop or whatever device he’s using to whip up his tweet storms.

Tweeting may be a great way for Trump to divert attention from unpleasant news involving his administration. Unfortunately for him, it refocuses the attention on his inability to get his facts straight.

It’s one thing to do that when you’re running for president — if you slander Sen. Ted Cruz’s father by suggesting he was involved in the JFK assassination, you just make Cruz mad. But if you get it wrong as president — when, for example, you say without evidence that your predecessor wiretapped your phones — you can annoy people who have the power to make even a president’s life very difficult indeed.

In more than 30 years in elected office, I was investigated more often than I can count, by everyone from the local cops to the FBI. My No. 1 rule: I never made them mad.

Because those people in agencies with three letters in their title, they can do things to your career and your life without ever leaving a fingerprint.

Some of President Trump’s Cabinet members are just as ill-informed and just as addicted to making outrageous misstatements as their boss.

Take Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson — he thinks slave ship passengers were immigrants. And he actually said it aloud.

If you look at it his way, I’m in trouble. Immigrants need visas to stay here legally, and darned if I can find my ancestors’ paperwork.

First the Women’s March, and now A Day Without a Woman — thousands of people in the streets, and nary a broken window or anarchist bully in sight.

A word to protest organizers in Berkeley: Take a hint, and let the women lead.

By the way, some new stars are emerging in this latest round of demonstrations. Take London Breed, president of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors.

At last week’s rally, Breed got the ultimate feminist shout-out from Gloria Steinem herself: “London, you crushed it!”

I am so loving the sight of Republicans diving for the foxholes now that they actually have to take responsibility for the nation’s health care system.

The truth is that the public isn’t interested in the details of Obamacare or any other care program other than their own. And they definitely don’t care who pays for it, as long as it’s not them.

So as Trumpcare or Ryancare or whatever this one is called moves forward, every Republican in Congress will be concerned with just one thing: Am I about to remove a benefit that my constituents have fallen in love with?

If the answer is “yes,” look out. The people who care most dearly about their health coverage are the older ones, and one thing old people do with enthusiasm is vote.

Movie time: “Logan.” Hugh Jackman, your time is up. Movies in which your fingers become blades capable of removing someone’s head are wearing thin.

But for those in the mood for a long movie with lots of twists and turns and lots of deaths, this one will fill up a vacant morning when the movie prices are cheap.

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti’s 80 percent re-election win suddenly has him trending in the 2018 governor’s race. Never mind that he hasn’t declared or that his big win was in a record-low turnout election: A landslide is a landslide.

No sooner did the votes come in than the calls started arriving from Garcetti’s friends, asking if I could set up some meet-and-greets in San Francisco.

“We understand that San Francisco has a very powerful Jewish community. Who should we talk with?” one caller asked.

“Jewish? I thought the mayor was Mexican American,” I said.

“He’s both.”
