Synopsis of President Trump’s Tweets

  • September 14: “If you murder a police officer, you should receive the death penalty!”  [Video]
  • September 14: “For the entire summer, Joe Biden was SILENT as left-wing mobs assaulted police officers. When Biden’s far-left supporters set fire to police cars, precinct stations, and courthouses, Joe Biden called them ‘PEACEFUL PROTESTORS.’ When asked if he would cut police funding, Biden…”
  • September 14: “…replied ‘Yes, Absolutely.’ Biden calls for abolishing cash bail and closing prisons — and Biden even called law enforcement ‘the ENEMY.’ Biden’s anti-police crusade must STOP. Furthermore, the corporations funding anti-police organizations should instead give their money…
  • September 14: “…to the families of crime victims and fallen officers. In the Republican Party, we know that police officers are not villains, but HEROES who risk their lives to KEEP US SAFE 24/7/365!”
  • September 14: “Our thoughts are with the two @LASDHQ  Sheriff Deputies who were shot in Los Angeles. We send our love and support to their families and we pray to God for their recovery.”

  • September 13: “Sleepy Joe Biden has spent 47 years in politics being terrible to Hispanics. Now he is relying on Castro lover Bernie Sanders to help him out. That won’t work! Remember, Miami Cubans gave me the highly honored Bay of Pigs Award for all I have done for our great Cuban Population!”
  • September 13: “They just don’t get it!”  Retweet:  Kenny Webster @KenWebsterII · 12h · Trump, easily one of the greatest marketing strategists in history, has driven thousands of angry liberals to publicly express their confusion over why he plays the Village People at his campaign rallies. It’s perfect. twitter.com/charleyw/statu…
  • September 13: “Actually falling very steadily and fast. Deaths and hospitalizations way down, and even cases down despite far more Testing than any other country in the World, by far. India second!”  Retweet:  Scott Gottlieb, MD @ScottGottliebMD · 15h · Overall U.S. Covid cases and hospitalizations continue to fall, driven by sharp declines in the sunbelt states. Key question: Is this the nadir before we see a fall and winter resurgence of a pathogen that typically spreads in the winter; or can we hopefully hold onto these gains
  • September 13: “But people don’t want to get mugged, beaten up, or killed. Let New York’s Finest (who proudly endorsed me!) do their job. Rehire crime squad and fired police. They will bring safety back to NYC, FAST!!!”  Retweet:  Mayor Bill de Blasio @NYCMayor · Sep 12 · It’s a beautiful Saturday, New York City.

  • September 13: “In the highly competitive world of high tech, how come nobody has ever challenged Mini Mike Bloomberg and his very average, & supposedly outdated, “stuff” that he sells to so many? Did he use his position as Mayor of New York to create what is now a monopoly? Just askin’?”
  • September 13: “I thought Mini Mike was through with Democrat politics after spending almost 2 Billion Dollars, and then giving the worst and most inept Debate Performance in the history of Presidential Politics. Pocahontas ended his political career on first question, OVER! Save NYC instead.”  Retweet:  Axios @axios · 14h · NEW: Bloomberg to spend $100 million to help Biden win Florida https://axios.com/bloomberg-spend-florida-biden-ceb30621-89bf-4336-ae66-6c1c8d1c753f.html?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=organic&utm_content=1100

  • September 13: “I did more in 47 months as President than Sleepy Joe Biden did in 47 years! #MAGA”
  • September 13: “Joe Biden cannot LEAD our Country, because he does not BELIEVE in our Country. At Biden’s convention, they decried America as a wicked, sinful nation, destined for a fate of doom and despair. They even removed the words “Under God” from the Pledge of Allegiance – twice…”
  • September 13: “…The far-left maniacs supporting Joe Biden are burning flags and chanting “America was never great.” But we know the truth: America is the most Exceptional Nation on earth, and our destiny is blessed by God!”
  • September 13: “THANK YOU NEVADA! #MAGA”
  • September 12: “Just landed in Nevada but while on Air Force One watched most vicious TV commercial I have ever seen. Pathetic Joe’s people placed an unsourced ad where they have me saying unthinkable things about soldiers while standing over their graves. It is a MADE UP LIE. A TOTAL CON JOB!”
  • September 12: “Just landed, see you soon Minden, Nevada. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

  • September 12: “While I travel the Country, Joe sleeps in his basement, telling the Fake News Media to “get lost”. If you’re a reporter covering Sleepy Joe, you have basically gone into retirement!”
