Donald Trump gets mercilessly mocked over all-caps Russia collusion tweet
People online are mocking President Donald Trump’s “amped up” response to the latest turn in the Russia collusion probe.
On Monday, GOP lawmakers on the House Intelligence Committee concluded that they’d found no evidence of possible collusion between Trump’s campaign and Russian officials during the 2016 election. Their findings are at variance with those of U.S. intelligence agencies. Trump welcomed the news with this tweet, which he posted in all caps:
THE HOUSE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE HAS, AFTER A 14 MONTH LONG IN-DEPTH INVESTIGATION, FOUND NO EVIDENCE OF COLLUSION OR COORDINATION BETWEEN THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN AND RUSSIA TO INFLUENCE THE 2016 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

It did not go unnoticed by fellow Twitter users, who were quick to call out Trump over his lack of internet etiquette — as the use of all-caps when posting online is often code for yelling:
He's going ALL CAPS. You never go ALL CAPS. Jesus, get the net. https://t.co/9O0oOtxtyg

And not a god damn person with any god damn sense believes this report – not even GOP committee members, who have barely any sense at all.
