It seems that last Friday's indictments of 13 Russians and three Russian entities involved in the social media information war in support of Putin asset Donald "Rump" Trump rattled Rump, who launched an unhinged Twitter storm against everyone from the FBI, to Hillary Clinton, to Oprah Winfrey... but not Russia. Most observers believe that, since he was advised not to golf after the Parkland massacre, he was holed up in his golf club watching cable, stewing, and tweeting with his cheeseburger-greased fingers:
“He spent much of the time watching cable news, venting to friends about the Russia investigation and complaining that it has been driving so much press coverage, according to people who have spoken to him.” @jdawsey1 @PhilipRucker report https://t.co/JJLaje58rM— Robert Costa (@costareports) February 19, 2018
The tweet that he wrote over the weekend that claimed the FBI's Russia probe had been responsible for the FBI mishandling the warnings about the Parkland shooter drew harsh criticism, most poignantly from the survivors. It follows a familiar Rump pattern:

1) Outrage
2) Denial
3) More outrage
4) Shitposting
There were some priceless moments from this past Weekend At Donnie's, though:

Which may explain this chilly situation:
