Another day, another bizarre President Trump social media moment.

A social media dragging for the ages ensued earlier today when, while denying an allegation that was never made in the first place, Trump called himself "your favorite president." You can probably guess how well that went over--practically the moment the tweet left the President's phone, the phrase was trending for all the wrong reasons.


It all began when Trump tweeted in response to a new book that alleges what exactly sent the President for an unscheduled visit to Walter Reed Medical Center last November.


In his tweet, the President stated in no uncertain terms that it was NOT a series of mini-strokes that sent "your favorite President" to Walter Reed.

"Now they are trying to say that your favorite President, me, went to Walter Reed Medical Center, having suffered a series of mini-strokes. Never happened to THIS candidate - FAKE NEWS."

The tweet was in response to a new book by New York Times reporter Michael Schmidt, in which he discusses the unexplained visit to Walter Reed.

Schmidt's book states that whatever the reason for the visit, it was dire enough that Vice President Mike Pence was put on call to take over presidential duties just in case.

But in one of the most classic cases of telling on yourself in American history, the book never mentions mini-strokes, a point the author himself underlined in follow-up quote tweet.


Ridiculous as that is, though, it was the "favorite President" part that really strained credulity for folks on the internet. Twitter instantly filled up with tweets using the phrase derisively, to mock the President.

And before long, a good, old-fashioned Twitter roast ensued.







And of course, some people couldn't resist making sure the "your favorite president" trend was blanketed in pictures of Trump's nemesis and throngs of people's favorite President, Barack Obama.





People trolled the President about his other bugaboos too--like the size of his inauguration crowd...


...and the 2016 opponent who soundly beat him in the popular vote.


The President has yet to explain what he meant by the "series of mini-strokes" comment. Perhaps we'll find out the next time he's rushed to Walter Reed unannounced.

An NBC News investigation reports that Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump did not meet their pledge to launch U.S.-made smartphones through Trump Mobile.

The Trump Mobile T1 phone was unveiled on the anniversary of Trump’s original presidential campaign launch, marking the Trump brand’s debut in the mobile device and wireless service market. At the time, the company said the phone would be available in August.

Scott Bessent Blasted Over His Bonkers Suggestion For How To Bring Your Own Inflation Rate Down

Continuing to follow the example of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent appeared on Meet the Press Sunday to blame Democratic President Joe Biden for the financial downturn caused by Trump's tariff fiasco, then lied repeatedly about the state of the economy.

Meet the Press host Kristen Welker played a clip of MAGA Republican Vice President JD Vance telling a conservative audience at a Breitbart News event that Americans owe the Trump administration "a little bit of patience"—apparently while they figure out what tariffs are and how they work since they're rolling back more of them to lower consumer prices despite claiming Trump's tariffs don't affect consumer prices.

Lindsay Lohan Is Now Sporting A New Accent—And Fans Aren't Sure What To Make Of It

Draped in a maroon, jewel-trimmed gown by The New Arrivals Ilkyaz Ozel and accompanied by her husband, Bader Shammas, and their 2-year-old son, Luai, the actress looked serene, elegant, and completely unbothered by the collective whiplash she was about to inflict on the internet.
