President Donald Trump is skipping golf this Saturday, even though the Washington, DC temperatures are a warm, spring-like 64. Instead, he’s turning up the heat on some of his opponents.
Starting with the FBI officers in charge of obtaining FISA warrants – “Are these “dirty cops” going to pay a big price for the fraud they committed?” – Trump ran down his list, hammering the “Do-Nothing Dems” for their Soleimani sympathies, Nancy Pelosi for her performance in office, and the undefined but ever-present “Radical Left” for their misguided ways.

The Commander-in-Tweet did have kind words for pollsters, which show him with a claimed 95% approval rating among Republicans and 53% overall.
Later in the day, Trump shifted his attention to Iran, issuing tweets of support for the street protests there, including several in Farsi.
We’ll add more as the communications roll in. The tweetstorm so far:
دولت ایران باید به گروه‌های حقوق بشر اجازه بدهد حقیقت کنونی اعتراضات در جریان مردم ایران را نظارت کرده و گزارش بدهند. نباید شاهد کشتار دوباره ی معترضان مسالمت آمیز و یا قطع اینترنت باشیم. جهان نظاره گر این اتفاقات است.

The government of Iran must allow human rights groups to monitor and report facts from the ground on the ongoing protests by the Iranian people. There can not be another massacre of peaceful protesters, nor an internet shutdown. The world is watching.

به مردم شجاع و رنج کشیده ایران: من از ابتدای دوره ریاست جمهوریم با شما ایستاده‌ام و دولت من همچنان با شما خواهد ایستاد. ما اعتراضات شما را از نزدیک دنبال می کنیم. شجاعت شما الهام بخش است.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 11, 2020
To the brave, long-suffering people of Iran: I've stood with you since the beginning of my Presidency, and my Administration will continue to stand with you. We are following your protests closely, and are inspired by your courage.

The powerful Trump Wall is replacing porous, useless and ineffective barriers in the high traffic areas requested by Border Patrol. Illegal crossing are dropping as more and more Wall is being completed! #BuildingTheWall pic.twitter.com/2kdHNSMM04

95% Approval Rating in the Republican Party, a record. 53% Approval Rating overall (can we add 7 to 10 percent because of the Trump “thing?”). Thank you!

Now the Radical Left, Do Nothing Democrats, are asking @senatemajldr Mitch McConnell to do the job that they were unable to do. They proved NOTHING but my total innocence in the House, despite the most unfair & biased hearings in the history of Congress. Now they demand fairness!

Nancy Pelosi will go down as the absolute worst Speaker of the House in U.S. history!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 11, 2020
New polling shows that the totally partisan Impeachment Hoax is going nowhere. A vast majority want the Do Nothing Democrats to move on to other things now!

Where have the Radical Left, Do Nothing Democrats gone when they have spent the last 3 days defending the life of Qassem Soleimani, one of the worst terrorists in history and the father of the roadside bomb? He was also looking to do big future damage! Dems are “unhinged.”

“FBI Director apologizes for FISA Errors (of which there were far to many to be a coincidence!).” @FoxNews Chris, what about all of the lives that were ruined because of the so-called “errors?” Are these “dirty cops” going to pay a big price for the fraud they committed?
