No tweets by President Trump made Twitter's list of the year's most retweeted posts.
But three tweets by former President Barack Obama made the list.
Obama's tweets on "The 9 Most Retweeted Tweets of 2017" include one with a Nelson Mandela quote that says: "No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin or his background or his religion."
Here are the other Obama tweets on the list:
872,000 retweets.Thank you for everything. My last ask is the same as my first. I'm asking you to believe—not in my ability to create change, but in yours.— President Obama (@POTUS44) January 11, 2017
631,000 retweets.It's been the honor of my life to serve you. You made me a better leader and a better man.— President Obama (@POTUS44) January 20, 2017
661,000 retweets.U bum @StephenCurry30 already said he ain't going! So therefore ain't no invite. Going to White House was a great honor until you showed up!— LeBron James (@KingJames) September 23, 2017
Yeah, not exactly worthy of bragging rights, but you know it's something.
It's not all bad news for Trump. After all he WAS the inspiration for one of the tweets on the list.
They couldn't add trump's tweets to the list because if you believe trump and kellyanne, his attorney wrote them,therefore they didn't qualify as written by the real Donald trump :)
ReplyDeleteSo now he'll be calling Obama's retweets 'fake.' Hey, maybe he'll be so mad at Twitter that he stops using them as his propaganda arm...
ReplyDeleteLike half of his followers are fake? Do 'bots automatically retweet to each other?
DeleteThe reason trump's tweets didn't make the list is, if you believe trump and kellyann, they were written by his attorney.therefore they didn't qualify as written by the real Donald trump.
ReplyDeleteWe know what trump will be doing while not on the golf course, retweeting himself like crazy.
President Obama understood how to use his Twitter account: for making positive statements, about his beliefs and about programs that help people. He's always used it positively. Trump, on the other hand, puts his negative, nasty personality out there for the world to see in his tweets - and he thinks it makes him seem "strong" to everyone who sees and reads them. Trump's wrong, of course, because the world sees just how mean and petty he really is. There is nothing "strong" about Trump at all.

Yes add vindictive and no sense of humor for trump.
DeleteI wonder if he had regular size hands he would be less nasty,like they say about short dictators being nicer if they were taller.
Napoleon complex for little fingers!
Like them all. Thanks for posting.
ReplyDeletePhotographer Peter Souza clearly loved President Obama,and gave us the legacy of eight years of life in the White House as its never before been documented.
ReplyDeleteFor all his money, Trump has no one and nothing resembling the kind of p.r. that Souza was for President Obama -- and will continue to be, with the thousands of wonderful photos he took.
If you look at Trumpagus tweets, they frequently have more responses than RTs, sometimes it's double.
ReplyDeleteTwitter shmitter.
