Trump in a nutshell.

Make us preferred on Google

There's always a tweet has become a recurrent theme of the presidency of Donald Trump. As summarized by the subReddit that tracks the phenomenon:

"35,000+ Tweets—No Self Awareness."

It usually takes months or even years for Trump's Twitter feed to contradict or call the President out for his own words or deeds. But Friday, President Trump completely reversed a dubious claim he made less than 24 hours earlier.


On Thursday morning, President Trump tweeted:

"The Impeachment Hoax is hurting our Stock Market. The Do Nothing Democrats don’t care!"

But on Friday morning—23 hours and 8 minutes later, Trump tweeted:

"Stock Market up BIG! Record highs for S&P 500 and NASDAQ. Enjoy!"

Trump's contradiction of himself caught the attention of many.

It was as if Thursday—the day the House of Representatives voted on the impeachment resolution the GOP demanded—morning's warning was completely false.

Or perhaps...

People shared his own contradictory tweets with Trump.

Trump's set up on Thursday could mean one of two things to explain Friday's post:

  • Thursday's tweet was a lie designed to influence the impeachment resolution vote
  • Wall Street really wants Trump impeached

However others saw market manipulation as the goal.

On Thursday—despite neither House rules nor a constitutional requirement—the House held an impeachment inquiry resolution vote to appease Republicans and the White House who falsely claimed one was necessary.

Once passed, the GOP members still loyal to Trump found something new to use to mischaracterize, disrupt, distract from and discredit the impeachment inquiry.

Although the pamphlets distributed at the start of Texas’s early voting period claim to come from the Transgender Education Network of Texas (TENT), a legitimate organization, the materials are fraudulent, the group has confirmed.

George Santos Just Threw His Hat In The Ring For White House Press Secretary—And The Reactions Are Priceless

Disgraced former New York Republican Representative George Santos was widely mocked after he threw his name in the mix to replace former White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia, who was fired after just five days on the job.

Santos, whose political career was derailed by allegations of fabricating his background, misusing campaign funds for luxury items and Botox, and leaving a trail of victims behind him as a known fraud and identity thief, has been soapboxing significantly since President Donald Trump commuted his prison sentence in October 2025.
