🕐 TRUMP POSTED A SENATOR'S PERSONAL CELL NUMBER...OVER DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME?! SIR, WHAT?!

WASHINGTON — Baby, WHAT ARE WE DOING?!

President Donald Trump got so irritated with Republican Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas over daylight saving time that he publicly posted what he said was Cotton's personal cellphone number and encouraged people to call him.

Not his Senate office number.

Not the switchboard.

His personal cellphone number.

Over.

A.

CLOCK. 😭

📱 WAIT...HE REALLY POSTED THE NUMBER?

According to the Associated Press and Reuters, Trump posted the Arkansas number while criticizing Cotton for opposing the Sunshine Protection Act, legislation that would make daylight saving time permanent and eliminate the twice-a-year clock change.

Trump told people in Arkansas to contact Cotton and pressure him to support the legislation.

AP actually called the number.

Nobody answered.

THE VOICEMAIL WAS FULL.

Well I bet it was! 😩

You put somebody's personal number in front of millions of people and suddenly that voicemail box is fighting for its LIFE.

🤨 LADY RED HAS A QUESTION...

AIN'T THAT DOXXING?!

In the everyday meaning of the word?

It certainly fits the basic description.

Doxxing generally means publicly revealing someone's private identifying or contact information without their consent. That can include a home address, personal email address or personal phone number.

But here's where the law gets complicated.

There is no single comprehensive federal law making every act of doxxing automatically illegal.

Federal law does prohibit publishing certain private information about specified government officials and other protected individuals when additional requirements are met, including an intent to threaten, intimidate or incite violence, or knowledge that the information will be used for those purposes. A mobile phone number is specifically included among the types of "restricted personal information" covered by that statute.

So based on what's publicly known right now, saying "Trump committed an illegal act of doxxing" would go further than the available evidence supports.

But saying:

"The President publicly posted another senator's personal cellphone number because they disagreed about daylight saving time."

Yep.

That's what happened.

⏰ AND WHAT WAS THE EMERGENCY?

Cotton opposes making daylight saving time permanent because he argues that keeping clocks an hour ahead throughout winter would mean extremely late sunrises in some places.

His concern is children waiting for school buses and people commuting to work in darkness during winter mornings.

Trump wants permanent daylight saving time because he favors having more daylight later in the afternoon and evening.

That's the disagreement.

SUNLIGHT.

Not war.

Not the federal budget.

Not national security.

WHAT TIME THE SUN COME UP. 😭

😂 AND THIS ISN'T EVEN TRUMP'S FIRST PHONE-NUMBER INCIDENT

We've actually seen this movie before.

During his first presidential campaign, Trump publicly revealed Sen. Lindsey Graham's cellphone number during their political feud.

Graham responded by making a comedy video destroying phones.

So apparently somewhere in Washington there's an unwritten rule:

If you argue with Donald Trump, keep another phone on standby. 📱😭

💥 THE BOOM BOTTOM LINE

You can support permanent daylight saving time.

You can oppose permanent daylight saving time.

You can debate whether we should stop changing these raggedy clocks twice a year until everybody's microwave says something different.

But posting somebody's personal cellphone number to millions of people because they won't vote the way you want?

Sir.

THIS IS THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, NOT THE SHADE ROOM COMMENTS SECTION. 😭

And somewhere Tom Cotton's phone is probably sitting on a charger whispering:

"Please...just let me die." 🔋📱😂

730 BOOM RADIOIT HITS DIFFERENT. EVERY TIME. BOOM! 💥
