Donald Trump unleashed an early morning Twitter rant Wednesday, voicing his thoughts on everything from Vladimir Putin to Syrian refugees.
Trump first took aim at Hillary Clinton’s stance on the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a 12-nation trade deal negotiated by the Obama administration.
“As I have been saying, Crooked Hillary will approve the job killing TPP after the election, despite her statements to the contrary: top adv.,” he said in a tweet.

Late Tuesday, Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe said Clinton would flip-flop from her campaign trail position on TPP, and end up supporting it. Clinton’s campaign denied this claim.
Trump then attacked the New York Times for pushing the idea that Russia worked to perpetrate the Democratic National Committee email hacks.
“Funny how the failing @nytimes is pushing Dems narrative that Russia is working for me because Putin said ‘Trump is a genius.’ America 1st!” he wrote.

Democrats have worked to spread the idea that Russian hackers released emails they took from the DNC in an effort to elect Trump. The hack has since embarrassed party officials, showing they favored Clinton over Bernie Sanders during the primaries, despite a requirement to be neutral.
But Trump wasn’t done yet on Twitter.
The billionaire businessman criticized Democrats for paying “ZERO” attention to law enforcement during the Democratic National Convention, which began Monday. This he called “SAD.”
The Democratic Convention has paid ZERO respect to the great police and law enforcement professionals of our country. No recognition – SAD!

The slaying of a priest in northeast from by Islamic State assailants was next in Trump’s rant.
“Hopefully the violent and vicious killing by ISIS of a beloved French priest is causing people to start thinking rationally. Get tough!” he said.

The Rev. Jacques Hamel was stabbed in the chest and had his throat slit, in an attack in Saine-Etienne-du-Rouvray, France, on Monday during morning mass.
And finally, Trump argued that Clinton would bring more Syrian refugees to the U.S.
“Crooked Hillary Clinton wants to flood our country with Syrian immigrants that we know little or nothing about,” Trump said. “The danger is massive. NO!”

Trump has said before that Clinton supports a “500 percent increase in Syrian refugees,” something that Politifact has said is “mostly true.” Trump has called for the U.S. to restrict the number of foreigners coming into the country.
Clinton, who was formally nominated as the first female major party presidential nominee on Tuesday is slated to address the DNC on Thursday. Trump accepted the GOP nomination last week in Cleveland.
