Trump's address to Congress on Tuesday was touted as "presidential" by many in the media and pundits. But people are now trolling that analysis after Trump fired off a tweet on Friday trying to pivot the probes into his alleged Russia ties onto Sen. Chuck Schumer.
We should start an immediate investigation into @SenSchumer and his ties to Russia and Putin. A total hypocrite!
In less than 140 characters:
* Trump asked for "an immediate investigation" into the senator's own relationship with Russia and Vladimir Putin
* Trump called Schumer "a total hypocrite" in response to the senator's repeated requests for an independent investigation into Trump's Russian ties
* He shared a #tbt photo of the senator and Putin eating doughnuts
People reacted promptly. They were overwhelmed with respect and veneration for the president's tweet. "SO PRESIDENTIAL!" they exclaimed.

Whether or not he's "presidential," some said he's certainly the most "based" president the country has ever seen.
