What exactly makes you think there are messages in tweets. The president of the united states has access to the most advanced communications system in the world. Why would he communicate by using spelling errors on twitter???
When I was at DLI, at Lackland AFB, in the early 80s, between official course stuff, there were periods of weeks, where we got temporary assignments...as did everyone in school...idle hands and all. I happened to get assigned to a rec center, where it was mostly exchanging towels, and dust mopping racquetball courts.
Another guy who worked there with me, was in cypher school. Now DLI was just about top 1-2%, per ASVAB scores. The cypher folks were more like top .01 percent. They had their own little tiny base residence area, which were not dorms, but actually houses...tucked way back in a far corner.
At any rate, I got invited over a couple times. It was like being off base. And there were almost literal clouds of dope smoke coming out, when you opened the door. There were quite obviously different rules for them. And their conversation when I was there, was about exactly that kind of stuff. It was mostly big brain competition between themselves.
Over at DLI, our handlers were mostly in charge of keeping us dumb smart people out of trouble. They would throw keg parties between the dorms...bail us out of jail for invading condo communities around the base, and going skinny-dipping...stuff like that. Never saw less than a Tech-Sgt, managing us.
So yeah. I can easily see that. But...feel free to call anecdotal...
ETA: now I remember the official title, was Cryptography.
The only time I was at Lackland was for Basic. By DLI, I'm assuming you mean Defense Language Institute? I went to the DLI Russian course at Syracuse University. There was a Chinese course at Indiana University, Terre Haute, and a large multi-language facility at Fort Ord, outside of Monterey, Cali. There were other locations I can't remember.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) added that he also wouldn’t be watching, calling the House process a “sham.”
“It’s being driven by political people,” he said. “I think this is a bunch of crap in the House.”
“I really can’t believe after my great effort to try to move the conversation to substance, that you still feel compelled to bring up the question,” she replied as she headed toward a basement elevator. “So I will, I will defer to another point in time.”

Yeah. Cold war era... Russian was at Lackland. Never went to Cali.
ETA: I never graduated Russian school. I dropped out and ended up a medic.
