Just like he saw video of POTUS at HRC rally with the protester, and lied that POTUS screamed at him.

@franklinleonard Distraction, everyone talking about booing Pence and zero talk about bombing Aleppo.

I haven't seen anyone float the idea that Trump/Pence handler's designed the incident as a distraction. Why go to this play now?

@franklinleonard He knows more attention on that /less public focused on conflicts of interest&illegal activity going on at Tower

maybe bcz he knows we'll talk abt THAT instd of the $25 Mill settlement, or the meetings w/foreign PM & investors. Just a guess

you get that literal attacks are useless in the social media age? He is drawing attention to self importance of audience & cast.

@franklinleonard Also that speech was written *during the show* that the actor was performing in. When was he meant to memorise?

@franklinleonard … or Pence told him?

Reaction from Trump reminder that he fundamentally doesn't understand democracy. Or the role of arts in democratic societies.

@franklinleonard You are being led away from trump u settlement. Focus on what really matters.
