DAY 150: Trump's lawyer says Trump doesn't think before tweeting

One of Donald Trump's lawyers, Jay Sekulow, had to say on national television that, contrary to what Trump himself tweeted, Trump is not under investigation. Which is false, as the Washington Post reported. But Sekulow claims Trump is not under investigation because he has not been notified of one. Problem is, people don't typically get notified when they are investigated and, as The New York Times pointed out, somebody who is being investigated gets notified much later.

But what was a true gem is the excuse Sekulow gave for Trump's tweet: That Trump doesn't think before tweeting. Here's the video from Meet the Press in which Sekulow literally says Trump only spends "15 seconds" writing a tweet:

And here's a quote from the NBC article on Sekulow's comments:

Sekulow claimed the president is not spending a lot of time composing the tweets, but defended them as a means of speaking directly to voters, saying "he's responding to what he's seeing in the media in a way in which he thinks is appropriate to talk to those people that put him in office."

So what Trump's lawyer is basically saying not to pay attention to what Trump tweets because Trump is an idiot.
