Accurate.

President Donald Trump is facing enhanced public scrutiny after reports that the FBI opened an investigation into whether the President was secretly working for Russia.

The news broke roughly around the same time that stories were published of Trump's effort to conceal conversations with Russian President Vladimir Putin from his own staff.


The President was unsurprisingly enraged by the news, taking to Twitter to disparage former FBI agents.

First, he went after former FBI Director James Comey.

Then after Special Counsel Robert Mueller, his investigation, and—naturally—Hillary Clinton.

It's more than likely that White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders will soon emerge to defend the President's erratic tweet storm while assuring the public of his total innocence.

But if she's going by her 2016 standards, that would be a different story.

And the public isn't about to let her forget this tweet.

Because Trump attacks the FBI on a regular basis, Sanders' words have generated a wealth of replies.

But there was something more insidious behind the jokes about how well the tweet has aged.

Many noted Sanders' entrenchment in the President's falsehoods, decrying her for disseminating propaganda in his favor, sowing misinformation and worsening discord.

There have been rumors that Sanders will soon leave the administration after finally becoming too exasperated to keep covering for the President.

Nevertheless, Sanders remains steadfast in her loyalty to the President and, according to many Americans watching with disgust, will flip on any previously held ideological or moral position to stay in Trump's good graces—including the position expressed this tweet.

Mike Johnson Just Made A Surreal Admission About George Santos—And Yep, That Tracks

George Santos is out of prison and Mike Johnson is now facing significant criticism after telling Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy that he'd happily welcome the disgraced politician back to Congress.

Santos—who since arriving on the political scene faced allegations of fabricating his background, misusing campaign funds for luxury items and Botox, and leaving a trail of victims behind him as a known fraud and identity thief—received a seven-year sentence for crimes that the U.S. attorney for the eastern district of New York argued “made a mockery” of the electoral process.

JD Vance Just Visited California—And Gavin Newsom Gave Him A Petty Welcome For The Ages

California Governor Gavin Newsom had a hilariously petty way to "welcome" Vice President JD Vance to California—once again using a viral rumor about Vance's love for, ahem, couches to comedic effect.

Vance visited Camp Pendleton over the weekend for the 250th anniversary of the United States Marine Corps and Newsom took the opportunity to mock Vance by hinting at the now-infamous—though untrue—rumor that Vance wrote about having sex with a couch in his memoir, Hillbilly Elegy.

People Call Out The Industries That Only Exist To Service The Very Rich

The only private jet I've been on was the Lisa Marie, Elvis Presley's plane on display at Graceland. I've never been chauffeured around in a limousine, arrived at a party by helicopter, or had a jeweler bring a case full of diamonds to my home for me to select from.

There's a saying about seeing how the other half lives, but it's much closer to the other 1% than it is 50%.
