(BRIEF THREAD) Here are seven comments about my new book PROOF OF CONSPIRACY—comments made by Tony Shaffer, the top intelligence adviser for the 2020 Trump presidential campaign—ranked from worst to best. Tony appears to have confirmed (repeatedly) he speaks for Trump's campaign. 
7/ Counting down from the 7th-best comment by @T_S_P_O_O_K_Y (apparently speaking for, and even citing by handle, @realDonaldTrump) we have: "I'm recommending people look at [Proof of Conspiracy]." I like this one because it comes from Tony's heart—and it almost sounds temperate.
@T_S_P_O_O_K_Y @realDonaldTrump 6/ The Trump presidential campaign's 6th-best comment on PROOF OF CONSPIRACY is this one: "We all know [Abramson] has to make money off [his] fake research." This is nice because it underscores that Tony speaks for the campaign—though I admit I don't know what "fake research" is.
@T_S_P_O_O_K_Y @realDonaldTrump 5/ The 5th best statement on PROOF OF CONSPIRACY by Shaffer—again speaking for Trump's 2020 presidential campaign—is "We appreciate [Abramson] having to make money off what was shown to be a [former FBI Director James] Comey-driven lie." It's a critique *and* a conspiracy theory.
@T_S_P_O_O_K_Y @realDonaldTrump 4/ The "cleanup hitter" of the Trump campaign's statements on PROOF OF CONSPIRACY today is this one: "[T]he public...[should] look at everything [Abramson] has done—what [he's] said and what [he's] written." I give props to Trump's 2020 campaign recommending *all 15* of my books.
@T_S_P_O_O_K_Y @realDonaldTrump 3/ Some will say this blurb by the Trump campaign on my book PROOF OF CONSPIRACY should rank higher than 3rd-best, but it feels too flashy and self-conscious to me: "This is political gold for Donald Trump—we want you all to sell [Proof of Conspiracy]...get it out far and wide."
@T_S_P_O_O_K_Y @realDonaldTrump 2/ The sleeper hit of the *many* statements about my book PROOF OF CONSPIRACY that Trump's 2020 presidential campaign made today is this one: "An amazing work of paranoid fiction." Anyone who's worked in publishing, as I have, knows that this is 100%, front cover-ready material.
@T_S_P_O_O_K_Y @realDonaldTrump 1/ I'm now proud to announce the *best* statement issued today by the intelligence adviser to the Trump 2020 presidential campaign with respect to my book PROOF OF CONSPIRACY: "You should spend your money on this...we demand that you do!" It's clear, direct, and pushy. I love it.
@T_S_P_O_O_K_Y @realDonaldTrump PS/ I know it seems hard to believe, but yes—in case you're wondering—every statement in this thread regarding my book PROOF OF CONSPIRACY *was* issued by the top intelligence adviser to Trump's presidential campaign, and was issued under color of authority to make the statement.
