Donald Trump Is Getting Called Out for Deleting a 'Panicked' All Caps Tweet Ripping Democrats for Pursuing Impeachment

Donald Trump Is Getting Called Out for Deleting a 'Panicked' All Caps Tweet Ripping Democrats for Pursuing Impeachment

Somebody sounds scared.

President Donald Trump has had a rough week and it's starting to show.

Over the last four days, a damning rough transcript released by the White House itself showed Trump urging the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate his political rival and possible 2020 Democratic nominee, former Vice President Joe Biden. Just before that, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) announced an official impeachment inquiry against the President after months of hesitation.


Today, the inciting whistleblower complaint shedding light on Trump's phone call with Zelensky and the White House's subsequent efforts to cover up the call was released to the public.

Almost simultaneously, Acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire appeared before the House Intelligence Committee to testify regarding his decision to withhold the complaint from Congress. White House officials told Maguire that, because the White House is outside of the intelligence community, the law didn't require him to turn the complaint over (it does).

Now, Trump is venting his frustration on Twitter. In a now-deleted tweet, he wrote in all-caps that Democrats are trying to destroy the Republican party.

People are taking the all-caps tweet—and its subsequent removal—as an indication that Trump is beginning to panic.

Technically, tweets count as presidential records, which, according to the Presidential Records Act, are required by law to be archived. It's illegal for Trump to delete a tweet without the government archiving it.

Given that people are now divided on whether or not the President is allowed to use the Executive Branch to pressure a foreign government into helping him win an election, it's unlikely that Trump deleting tweets will be even a blip on the corruption radar.

That didn't stop people from pointing it out.

Fortunately, the internet is forever.

Trump and his staff may be reeling to spin these developments in their favor, but the President was right about one thing: OUR COUNTRY IS AT STAKE!

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
