Twitter is lit up on Sunday after President Donald Trump launched a tweet that raised eyebrows and pointed to Representative Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) As being "Little Adam Schitt".
It's so amusing to see little Adam Schitt (D-CA) talk about the fact that Acting Attorney General, Matt Whitaker, has not been approved by the Senate, without mentioning the fact that Bob Mueller (who is very conflictual) has not been approved by the Senate!

Unfortunately for Trump, the whole of his argument seems to rest on the false assumption that special advice must be confirmed by the Senate. Legal experts argue that attorneys general – but not special councils – must be approved by the Senate.
It is unclear whether Trump intentionally included the "Schitt" typo and whether he is aware that special advocate appointments do not require Senate approval. The White House did not immediately respond to HuffPost's request for comment.
Regardless of Trump's intention, Twitter users, including Schiff and actor Zach Braff, had a busy day with the president's statement.
"In this scene, the President of the United States is making a joke of shit," wrote Braff. "[Adam Schiff] is my congressman and I'm excited for him to hold this child accountable. "
Wow, Mr. Speaker, this is a good example.
Did it sound like your answers to Mr. Mueller's questions or did you write this yourself? https://t.co/Yd27sayt7C

Some articles:
1. Mueller is confirmed.
2. Whitaker recuse himself from the Mueller investigation or is removed from his duties.
3. Schiff is about to push you a probe so far into the ass … I'm sure he'll find plenty of Schitt.
4. Have you recently mentioned anything about WH decorum? https://t.co/5pm1YJL8wN– Billy Baldwin (@BillyBaldwin) November 18, 2018
Just after the president spoke of the need for a "decorum" at the White House, he called a Congressman "Adam Schitt".

Someone hears the steps of collusion happening – alone today, seeking to undermine the Mueller probe and then using a pejorative term "Schitt" about the new chairman of the House's Intelligence Committee. pic.twitter.com/YUG0UnadAT

Schitt
You will never convince me that this typo was not intentional. In addition, special advisers are appointed and do not require Senate approval. pic.twitter.com/eN3IPJU5Gl

This delicate moment when the president calls a congressman "Adam Schitt" and no one can determine if it is because the president is horrible or simply illiterate.

The Dems have the house. Schiff will replace Nunes on the Intelligence Committee. The Schitt will hit the Trump fan in the new year.

While the president has called Adam Schiff "Little Adam Schitt" …
I would like to thank Melania Trump again for her fantastic "Be Best" campaign against cyberbullying.
Thank you FLOTUS. You are the real MVP!
