With the holiday weekend, I needed an article that would “write itself.”
So I decided to simply use the words of the current occupant of the White House.
Donald J. Trump has the uncanny ability to send a Tweet that will, years later, be a source of great embarrassment to him.
It has evoked one of my favorite Twitter games: “There’s Always a Tweet.”
It’s easy to play! All you have to do is find an earlier Trump Tweet that contradicts a stand he has recently taken, or criticized someone for doing the same exact thing that he’s doing now.
But I’ve saved you the bother of scrolling through Twitter.
There are plenty of people who have done that, and I compiled a pretty impressive collection of Trump’s Greatest Hits.
I think you’ll agree, it all goes to show one thing: Donald Trump is the most hilarious occupant of the White House in history.
Unintentionally so.

Trump built his political “brand” on attacking Obama.
Which has just led to a series of embarrassing whines about the former President.
Let’s start with the funniest one.
I can’t recall if President Obama had difficulty navigating the ramp at West Point…
Now this one, my friends, is the very definition of irony…..
Coming from the man who said, “I don’t take any responsibility,” for the poor US response to the Coronavirus pandemic.
From the man who said he didn’t know anything about the Russian bounties on American soldiers in Afghanistan.
While we’re on the subject of intelligence briefings….
And what a grabby guy that Obama is!
How could anybody get away with all those executive orders?
Here’s something Trump beat Obama at: it took him less time.
And how dare Obama take credit for killing Bin Laden?
He should’ve been more like Trump – humble and modest, deferring credit to the military heroes.
I changed my mind…. the funniest ones were Trump criticizing Obama for golfing.
Which he did 27 times while Obama was President.
I wish I was making this up.
Fortunately for the country, Trump was an expert of pandemic management.
In 2014, he was all over Obama’s handling of Ebola.
So when it was his turn to find someone to lead the country through a medical crisis, he chose…. Mike Pence.
I’m just not sure why Trump chose not to heed his own advice, and embrace every person had contracted Covid-19….
We knew he was going to be hardline with renegade governors….
Anybody who stepped out of line and disobeyed quarantine would feel the wrath of Donald Trump….
So when it came time to lead the country, Trump was out ahead of it.
“Think about that,” indeed…
As he says, “Nobody has been harder on China than me.”
By February, he had the whole Coronavirus thing “very much under control”.
And at the same time he was solving a global pandemic, he had all those pesky protesters to deal with!!!
Luckily, we saw from his earlier Tweets, Trump was a gracious, even-handed negotiator when it came to these things… when it applied to other countries.
Whether it’s China…
…Or Iran….
I mean, he predicted the looting, back in 2014…
Remember way back in February, when Trump was rattling his saber at Iran, and threatening to attack them?
The irony was not lost of a lot of Twitter users:
Remember when Trump negotiated with the Taliban, “our sworn enemy”?
Or back when he had to fire General Flynn? (Before the “Obamagate” conspiracy made everybody forget that Flynn lied?)
For a guy who never served, he sure had a lot of expertise on the military.
But what else would we expect, from a guy with this outlook on women?
Here’s Donald’s free advice for the Duchess of Cambridge….
I think it’s good that he was a student of history.
Admit it: You’re surprised he didn’t spell it, “they’re” history.
This one’s just too prescient.
It’s all right there. I guess Donald’s wish came true.
I think that out of all of his blathering, this one stands as my favorite.
He wrote his own epitaph, as the nation’s Divider in Chief.
Have a good, safe Fourth of July, everybody.
