So one hour ago Agent Orange tweets before going to his empty bed unless he did an outcall, because he never cruises for burgers. It may explain why he kept his own security guys in addition to his Secret Service detail.
More importantly, he’s tweeting because some of the congressional committee closed session information may have gotten leaked. Desperate deplorability.
He just finished watching Fox News undoubtedly, and perhaps saw that Melania liked only two tweets of which one is copied below.
And the post-Trumpcare debacle at the Heritage Foundation which resulted in executive bloodletting seems to be over with the ouster of Jim DeMint, but whether Bannon will pull his hand out of Trump to go there remains to be seen.

More interesting would be a Bannon-based coup at The Heritage Foundation, because the Russians could gain even more influence in DC policy circles by housing their laundering and big data analysis / vote-targeting operations in Heritage … it could be rebranded as a RW research/policy operation … maybe call it Rand(y).
The two main Heritage factions, represented by DeMint and Needham, have effectively warred since Politico reported late last week that DeMint, a former Tea Party senator, would be stepping down after four years at the group’s helm.
As of Tuesday evening, DeMint and several of his high-profile loyalists at Heritage had fallen victim to a purge.
On Tuesday morning, three sources with knowledge of the situation said that the eventual number of DeMint allies resigning could climb as high as 30, though it was not clear when additional resignations would be tendered. One senior staffer, vice president of research James Wallner, had already been placed on “administrative leave” on Monday and led out of the building in what one Heritage staffer described as a “perp walk.”
Two of the staffers who spoke with The Daily Beast said they believed Needham leaked the news in an effort to undermine DeMint, who planned to keep his move under wraps until Heritage found a replacement, and to convince recalcitrant board members that his ouster was a foregone conclusion.
The initial speculation about a DeMint successor reached a fever pitch on Sunday, when Needham declined to definitively rule out the possibility that White House chief strategist Stephen Bannon would replace DeMint, telling Fox News host Chris Wallace only that he wouldn’t “add to the speculation and rumor.”
Staffers say the resulting rumors were laughable.
“I’m making a list of every conservative thought leader or journalist who even vaguely entertained that Bannon might be the next Heritage president because they should be reminded of it and humiliated for it forever,” one said.
