If you were wondering what effect all of the investigations into President Donald Trump are having in the notoriously paranoid head of state, a tweet he sent out Sunday morning suggests that he’s feeling the pressure and it’s making him more unstable than usual:
Report: Christopher Steele backed up his Democrat & Crooked Hillary paid for Fake & Unverified Dossier with information he got from “send in watchers” of low ratings CNN. This is the info that got us the Witch Hunt!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 17, 2019
He followed that posting with this one trashing the late Arizona Senator John McCain:
So it was indeed (just proven in court papers) “last in his class” (Annapolis) John McCain that sent the Fake Dossier to the FBI and Media hoping to have it printed BEFORE the Election. He & the Dems, working together, failed (as usual). Even the Fake News refused this garbage!

First, let’s fact check the president: The “Fake News” didn’t refuse the Steele dossier; The Daily Beast published it and was criticized for doing so. Also, the fact that Trump remains utterly obsessed with the dossier certainly suggests that it must have some credibility.
The comments about McCain are part of a larger pattern: McCain served his country honorably while Trump used “bone spurs” to avoid serving in Vietnam. McCain was also loved by both Republicans and Democrats in Congress. Trump, on the other hand, is loved by almost no one other than himself.
Twitter pounced on the president’s latest delusional ranting:
FACT CHECK:
The Steele Dossier had nothing to do with the launching of the investigation into your campaign.
Your coffee boy, George, blabbing while drunk in London DID!

“Six former Trump advisers, 26 Russian nationals, three Russian companies, one California man, and one London-based lawyer. Seven of these people (including five of the six former Trump advisers) have pleaded guilty.”
This is not a witch hunt.

How Christ-like of you to spend your Sunday morning insulting a dead man who served our country.
