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.
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.
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.

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

“I would like you to do us a favor though.”
Thanks for the reminder of what got us here in the first place.
But if you’d like to clear things up, feel free to go to the Senate and testify. Under oath.

Americans read the transcripts* and the majority supports Trump’s impeachment.
I stand with impeachment!
