26. The tweet in the OP is a bot that takes BLOTUS' original tweet

...and retweets it as if it were an official statement from the office of the president.

Granted, what BLOTUS tweeted is bullshit but he is the one that deserves ire, not the OP.

I don't follow BLOTUS on twitter. I just can't. I do follow this bot though. I also follow a bot that posts a small video of a robot that prints out the president's tweets and then burns the printout.
