Trump Tweets 'Read The Transcripts' And Gets Mocked By People Who Have
President Donald Trump may be at the annual World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, but that didn’t stop him from attempting to gaslight America.
On Tuesday, the president implored people on Twitter to “read the transcripts.” Presumedly, he was serious because the tweet was in all caps, the universally recognized signifier that the sender is pissed off about something.
READ THE TRANSCRIPTS!

The president was referring to a record of his phone calls with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, the one that sparked the ongoing impeachment inquiry.
However, exact, full transcripts of the calls have not been released.
What Trump is referring to as “transcripts” are really partial summaries of his conversations with Zelensky and not verbatim records.
Not surprisingly, the all caps tweet was thoroughly mocked by Twitter wits.
the one where you mention Burisma and the Bidens but not corruption? Yes, I read that one. The one where you linked investigation to aid ("I would like you to do us a favor though")? Yup, read it.

THERE ARE NO TRANSCRIPTS.
IT SAYS SO IN THE DOCUMENT ITSELF.
It’s a memorandum, #DerangedDonald . And there’s plenty of other evidence. pic.twitter.com/8FXbnySY3P— GoodMansBrother (@DreierFrode) January 21, 2020
Don’t mind me. I’m just here waiting for trump to actually release the transcripts. All he has released was a call summary. And even that summary was enough to impeach him. pic.twitter.com/3Qd7D3cE9M
