If you’re wondering why the Trump Administration has done so poorly at such basics as filling staff positions, populating the US Attorney positions vacated when incoming Attorney General Jeff Sessions summarily dismissed all the existing US Attorneys, and providing key help to congress for things like repealing Obamacare and crafting a “tax reform” plan, perhaps you need to look no further than Twitter.

It has been alleged that after Republican President Donald Trump tweeted the ridiculous accusation that former President Barack Obama had “tapped the wires in Trump Tower,” White House staff directed intelligence staff on an all hands mission to find something, to find anything, that backed it up. Even if it didn’t really back it up, they just wanted something to help them make him look less crazy and unhinged than he is.

So maybe, just maybe, if White House staff weren’t so busy trying to undo the damage of a deranged President that isn’t capable of enough self control to be allowed to have a Twitter account, they might be able to actually run the country!
