@realDonaldTrump :

- Despite thousands of hours wasted and many millions of dollars spent, the Democrats have been unable to show any collusion with Russia - so now they are moving on to the false accusations and fabricated stories of women who I don’t know and/or have never met. FAKE NEWS! [710 EST]

- Lightweight Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a total flunky for Chuck Schumer and someone who would come to my office “begging” for campaign contributions not so long ago (and would do anything for them), is now in the ring fighting against Trump. Very disloyal to Bill & Crooked-USED![803 EST]

- Wishing all of those celebrating #Hanukkah around the world a happy and healthy eight nights in the company of those they love. 45.wh.gov/XpFsZu [1713 EST]
