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.

Trump Official Tries To Claim Antifa Is Top National 'Threat'—Then Flails Over Simple Questions

Michael Glasheen, the operations director of the National Security Branch, was criticized after he told members of Congress that Antifa is "the most immediate violent threat" to the U.S. and could not answer simple questions to justify his claim.

Antifa is a loose network of anti-fascist activists with no central structure, no funding, no membership roster, and no offices or leadership hierarchy for prosecutors to target. Despite this, President Donald Trump recently signed an executive order declaring it a "domestic terror organization," a move that's been celebrated by his supporters.

Viral Video Of Lauren Boebert Arguing With Bouncer At George Santos' Holiday Party Is All Kinds Of Cringe

Colorado Republican Representative Lauren Boebert was widely mocked after she was caught on video trying to get her congressional aides into a holiday party hosted by disgraced former New York Republican Representative George Santos in Washington, D.C., after the bouncer denied them entry.

Santos' 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. He has been soaking up attention since President Donald Trump commuted his prison sentence a couple of months ago.

Amanda Seyfried Refuses To Back Down After Calling Charlie Kirk 'Hateful': 'I'm Not F—king Apologizing'

Actor Amanda Seyfried said she has no plans to apologize after calling the assassinated far-right activist Charlie Kirk "hateful," telling Who What Wear that she merely "said something that was based on actual reality and actual footage and actual quotes."

Kirk was assassinated in September while speaking at a university in Utah; the suspect was caught after a two-day manhunt and has since been charged. The Trump administration has used Kirk's murder as an opportunity to crack down on free speech and to target leftists even though the shooter is aligned with the far-right.
