President Trump Tweets And Context: 'Thank you to everyone, including the haters, for the great reviews of the speech!'
Here's what President Trump is tweeting about — and what it means.
Twitter has become a modern-day version of the fireside chat for Donald Trump, whose tweets are his preferred 140-character forum for getting out his message — both when he was a candidate and now as commander in chief.
Patch will share Trump's daily dispatches from his preferred platform in one handy post, as well as the context and facts, when appropriate. (For more national political news, sign up for the free White House Patch email newsletter)

The tweet:
Everyone here is talking about why John Podesta refused to give the DNC server to the FBI and the CIA. Disgraceful!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 7, 2017
The context: Trump is in Germany for the G-20 summit. He is referring to former Hillary Clinton campaign chair John Podesta allegedly not cooperating with the investigation into hacks of the DNC.
The facts: As Politico points out, Podesta did not work for the DNC, so it is unclear why he would have been responsible for its server.
Podesta responded with a series of seven tweets, saying, "Get a grip man, the Russians committed a crime when they stole my emails to help get you elected President."
