Well, the tweet is not substantiated by what is in the actual article, but that is already plenty dumb enough:
Though the Senate voted on Wednesday to overwhelmingly nix the president's veto in a 97-1 vote, some lawmakers said they had misgivings about the bill. They stressed, however, that any push to find an alternative was largely ignored by the Obama administration.
That is not Obama's job. Bunch of twats.

Wells Fargo will pay $24 million to settle allegations that it mistreated members of the military -- including illegally repossessing their cars.
The bank, already reeling from a scandal over fake accounts, will pay $4.1 million to settle Justice Department charges that it seized 413 cars owned by service members without a court order, a violation of federal law.
The Justice Department said the illegal repossessions took place from 2008 to 2015. The first complaint came from an Army National Guardsman in North Carolina who said the bank seized his car while he was preparing to deploy to Afghanistan.
Wells Fargo then auctioned his car and tried to collect a balance of $10,000 from his family, the Justice Department said.
The bank will pay $10,000 to each of the affected service members, plus lost equity in the cars with interest, and repair their credit.
The bank was fined $20 million more by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency for breaking three provisions of the same law by denying members of the military certain banking protections, including capping their interest rates at 6%. Those violations began in 2006, the OCC said.
Wells Fargo said in a statement that it apologizes for not living up to its commitment of ensuring that all service members "receive the appropriate benefits and protections."
"We have been notifying and fully compensating customers and will complete this work in 60 days," the company said.
News of the penalties came as Wells Fargo and CEO John Stumpf faced the wrath of the House Financial Services Committee at a hearing about the millions of fake bank and credit card accounts, plus claims that it retaliated against whistleblowers.
The company is also facing lawsuits from shareholders, former employees and customers.

obviously damage control after the debate. He basicly said that he used to like her but now detests her for turning Europe into a pile of garbage.
The only reason he mentioned her is because he hopes there are some female voters out there that aren't aware of is stance on Merkel (which is very likely) and thus might go "oh see, he DOES respect some [not good looking] women as well! He's not that bad on women!.
Although questionable if his hate for her is his true opinion either. Could just be something he says because it's fearmongering for the right to pump them up: look at what happened with Europe under Merkel
But really hard to tell. Might as well just be "I'm going to say I like everyone and hate everyone to different people and when asked about it later I can just point to the thing that fits me that moment. Can't be wrong that way

You are probably overestimating Trump because chances are he literally does not know any foreign leaders other than Putin, Nieto and Merkel, maybe Hollande and Cameron.

Just keep attacking her Trump. She is very popular in the Hispanic community and has been on Spanish TV for years. The more you attack, the more she responds in a language most of your staff don’t understand.
He is such an idiot.

I love how you pointed out he said something conservatives would mostly agree on "He basicly said that he used to like her but now detests her for turning Europe into a pile of garbage" but then you have to add 3 paragraphs of non sense guessing because in your mind he can't say something sensible.

Empirical data shows that Trump will say anything to “make a deal” and get what he wants. There is no reason to believe this is any different.

Trump's campaign in a nutshell.
|
Everyone else is lying. Especially if they don’t give me someone to attack.
|
when trump is president we don't have to worry about him getting that 3am phone call 'cause he'll already be awake tweeting some bullshit
|
Man. I'm truly amazed by the recent Twitter rant. I really think what we all predicted is coming true. First debate going so poo4ly and embarrassingly for him that he's lashing out and spiraling out of control.
Won't surprise me if the second debate goes even worse than the first.

Establishment buffoons
It was reported months ago that Saudi threatened to sell hundreds of billions in US T-bills if the bill was passed.This is not new or secret information.

but it would be good for gold /s
no, selling us treasury bonds, which is one of those most stable, desirable assets in the world is a dumb as shit bluff. the saudis need to unload anyways because theyre running a deficit due to low oil pricing, to unload quickly they'll sell at a discount (aka below market value), and the US just gave a big 'ole fuck you to the saudis by revealing they actually only have like 140b rather than 700b and saying we "dare you".

I'm sure Trump fapped to the sex tape multiple times.
We should all believe Sean Hannity though. And all his useless birther garbage certainly didn't involve naming any sources.
I guess they decided to let him start tweeting again.

the point was: that was his original statement and he now changed that to just "I like merkel".
Like, he's calling Hillary "America's Merkel" or whatever it is and now he's saying that he likes Merkel and thinks she's a good leader? That doesn't really make sense with aforementioned earlier comment that you highlighted

Here's the 3 AM twitter rant in a single image:
