President Donald Trump told reporters that he was planning on spending a quiet weekend at Mar-a-Lago, but kept off the golf course — likely over concerns that Trump partaking in his favorite pastime might be bad optics following a mass shooting — Trump had no choice but to spend Saturday and Sunday tweeting about Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s 13 indictments leveled on Friday.
Beginning on Saturday, Trump launched into an extended rant on the subject of Russian interference, citing New York Post articles and Facebook higher-ups, as a way of suggesting that Muller’s indictments — which charged several Russian operatives as well as a single, large “content farm” operation well beyond the special counsel’s reach — prove once and for all that the Trump campaign was innocent of collaborating with a foreign government to throw a presidential election.
