Why Should Trump Get Off Twitter? This Retweet is "Exhibit A"

March 9, 2020 11:35pm

This tweet is a perfect example of why President Trump should get off Twitter or employ a censor to review his tweets before he hits the "tweet" button to make it go live.

The image is a screenshot the President's retweet of a tweet posted by Dan Scavino. Donald Trump retweeted it with his added message of "Who knows what this means, but it sounds good to me!"

Has Donald Trump never heard "Nero fiddled while Rome burned"? I've known what that meant since at least the 6th grade! Roman Emperor Nero allegedly played the violin as he watched Rome get destroyed by fire in 64 AD. And while that account is almost certainly historical fiction, the expression has come to mean that a conceited and sadistic ruler is so selfish and heartless that he irresponsibly ignores the perils his people face.

And Trump retweeted that???

For at least four years, I have said that Donald Trump is his own worst enemy, and that his biggest problem is that he always thinks he's the smartest person in the room no matter who else is in the room with him.

His moronic retweet proves he’s not.
