Trump Retweets Meme of Himself Eclipsing Obama in Twitter Frenzy

by KALHAN ROSENBLATT

President Donald Trump launched into a Twitter frenzy on Thursday morning, retweeting a meme and sending out typo-laden tweets to his followers — then deleting and tweeting again.

The president's morning on Twitter kicked off with a post attacking Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Speaker of the House Paul Ryan about the debt ceiling and legislation he hoped GOP leaders would pass.

"I requested that Mitch M & Paul R tie the Debt Ceiling legislation into the popular V.A. Bill (which just passed) for easy approval. They..." Trump wrote in the first tweet. He soon added, "...didn't do it so now we have a big deal with Dems holding them up (as usual) on Debt Ceiling approval. Could have been so easy-now a mess!" He later added: "The only problem I have with Mitch McConnell is that, after hearing Repeal & Replace for 7 years, he failed!That should NEVER have happened!"

About an hour after the first posting, Trump set the Twitterverse abuzz after he retweeted a meme showing himself "eclipsing" President Barack Obama.

The four-way split image shows Trump moving slowly into frame until he completely covers the image of Obama. Trump is in color. Obama is in black and white.

The text on the meme reads, “The Best Eclipse Ever!"

The image came from YouTube actor and self-described political junkie Jerry Travone, who tweeted the meme at Trump.

*And I read the best comment about this....

So in this meme Obama is the sun, giving life and energy to the world, and Trump is a large, lifeless object blocking out the sun, plunging the world into darkness. Yes, that says it all.-Mary

"He then sent out yet another tweet saying, "James Clapper, who famously got caught lying to Congress, is now an authority on Donald Trump. Will he show you his beautiful letter to me?"

You imbecile, IF he sent you a beautiful letter, YOU have it, so show it.

affliction as the rest of the gop. They are JEALOUS of democratic politicians because they are more intelligent than they are. The gop hated Clinton (both Clintons) and Obama, both masterful politicians. Both have more CLASS, dignity, composure, understanding of the issues, understanding of regular people than any gop member. The gop spent 8 years trying to impede President Obama, yet he STILL accomplished much more than tRump has so far!! tRump will never be able to fill that job, he is not intelligent enough, plus he does not learn. He thinks he should be worshiped because his daddy gave him millions of dollars. Both Presidents Clinton and Obama were intelligent enough to make their own way in life. tRump has to lie constantly to try to cover up his inadequacies, yet most thinking people know exactly what a failure he is and always has been. IF he IS wealthy, show us the tax returns. Both Clinton and Obama can attract women, without flashing money at them. They both attract intelligent women. tRump attracts gold diggers.

Because we like those people. And they hate us for the exact same reason.

It really is like 5th grade.

If he thought losing by 2.8 million votes to a woman was humiliating (and he does), he wouldn't have handled losing to a black man by even more votes any better.

Trump is one casting a DARK shadow on the soul of our nation.

And yes, the eclipse is temporary.

trump or his base.

They are so ignorant they do not see how bad their analogies are.

I was in Makanda, IL for the eclipse, saw it with my own eyes.

The sun wins.
