I wrote yesterday that the December 27th Associated Press story on the state of Trump's White House in July 2017 revealed *one* new fact—that the president is a conspiracy theorist who believes federal law enforcement is part of the "Deep State."
Now—just hours later—*this* BS.

2/ So if you're a conservative who calls Trump-Russia collusion a conspiracy theory, like Frodo in Shelob's Lair you must now hack your way through the many layers of Trump's baseless "Deep State" conspiracy theory to make anyone take you seriously on the subject of conspiracies.
3/ Let's be clear: interest in the Trump-Russia case is "mainstream," as it's based on intel from multiple U.S. agencies and current probes by both Congress and DOJ.
The "Deep State" conspiracy theory is a *fringe* subject indulged exclusively by lunatics—and now the president.

4/ A POTUS who believes his own federal law enforcement agencies are part of a secret "Deep State" conspiracy only lunatics on the far-right fringe think exists is disqualified from being the Commander-in-Chief—as he's gone from Nixonian paranoia to 25th Amendment-level dementia.
5/ I can't overstate how troubling this Trump tweet is. With the AP story and this tweet, we now have confirmation Trump is a "Deep Stater"—and that's a *dangerous* ideology for any person, let alone a president, to adopt. It undermines adherence to—and belief in—the rule of law.
