Donald Trump isn't afraid to share his Thoughts, even if sometimes those Thoughts don't exactly mean what he thinks they mean.

This was once again on display Saturday morning in a series of tweets regarding his longtime lawyer Michael Cohen, and whether or not he would "flip" on the president. Cohen, as you may recall, was recently on the receiving end of an FBI raid, and a Friday New York Times article speculated that he may eventually cooperate with federal officials.

Trump, shall we say, was not a fan. He denied any connection to one of the reporters of the New York Times story, Maggie Haberman, and tweeted that Cohen would never flip on him. And, even if he did, it would all be lies.

In communicating his displeasure, however, Trump seems to have overlooked one key detail: It's really hard to "flip" on an innocent person.

But, fortunately for Trump, the internet was right there to remind him of his little oversight.

To add comical insult to self-imposed injury, it was quickly pointed out that Trump has in fact had at least something to do with Haberman in the past.

Vanity Fair also referred to Haberman in a 2017 profile as a "Trump-whisperer." They're not exactly strangers.

But hey, why let the truth get in the way of a good tweetstorm? Especially a tweetstorm saying that your lawyer would never flip on you, but if he did, it would be for totally understandable reasons and also it would be complete bullshit.

Nothing but the best Thoughts from our president.
