People online are mocking President Donald Trump’s “amped up” response to the latest turn in the Russia probe.
On Monday, GOP lawmakers on the House Intelligence Committee said they’d found no evidence of collusion between Trump’s campaign and Russian efforts to influence the 2016 election.
The GOP panel also said that while Russian intelligence interfered in the election, they didn’t do so to help Trump ― a finding at variance with that of U.S. intelligence agencies.
Trump welcomed the news with this tweet, which he posted in all caps:
THE HOUSE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE HAS, AFTER A 14 MONTH LONG IN-DEPTH INVESTIGATION, FOUND NO EVIDENCE OF COLLUSION OR COORDINATION BETWEEN THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN AND RUSSIA TO INFLUENCE THE 2016 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

It did not go unnoticed by others on Twitter, who were quick to call out Trump for his lack of internet etiquette. The use of all-caps when posting online is often code for yelling:
He's going ALL CAPS. You never go ALL CAPS. Jesus, get the net. https://t.co/9O0oOtxtyg

Trump's poker tell would be yelling I HAVE VERY GOOD CARDS PROBABLY THE WINNING HAND DON'T BET IF YOU DON'T WANT TO LOSE MONEY BECAUSE I AM GOING TO WIN THIS HAND https://t.co/G7HflEBbAA

And not a god damn person with any god damn sense believes this report – not even GOP committee members, who have barely any sense at all.
