No credibility to Trump's China-hacking tweets

"Report just out: 'China hacked Hillary Clinton's private Email Server.' ... Actually, a very big story. Much classified information!" tweeted United States President Donald Trump on Wednesday morning.

Obviously, that was not enough for an excited Trump, so he tweeted again, three hours later, "Hillary Clinton's Emails, many of which are Classified Information, got hacked by China," adding that the credibility of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Department of Justice will be forever gone" if they fail to act on it.

To the thinking person, there are few things more disconcerting than a tweet by the US president as they initially seem to accord to reality but then quickly turn into messages from some alternative universe.
