22 Donald Trump tweets that prove we are in the upside down
Let’s be real: There’s nothing conventional about Donald Trump’s presidency. In the year since he was elected, Trump has taken Americans on a roller coaster ride that few expected, but unlike your average thrill ride, this train shows no signs of slowing down. Few things are as bonkers as Trump’s use of Twitter, which ranges from hilarious (remember the “covefe” typo tweet?!) to downright bizarre (like when he took to Twitter to say he’d NEVER call North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un “short and fat“). These days, we can truly never predict just what will happen when Trump gets his fingers on a keyboard.
And while many of Trump’s tweets are amusing purely by virtue of their sheer lunacy, we can’t help but feel like we’re living in a completely upside down world these days. Like, how do we even get our heads wrapped around having a president who fires off so many off-the-cuff reactions to serious, real-world happenings on social media? How is this real life?
Of course, Trump was a force to be reckoned with on Twitter long before his days as the leader of the free world, but these Trump tweets in the months since he was elected president prove that we’re in for a terrifying ride until 2020. Buckle up.
These are the most unbelievable, over-the-top Trump tweets since he was elected to office we could round up.
1. There was the time he found creative (and sexist!) ways to attack MSNBC hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski.
I heard poorly rated @Morning_Joe speaks badly of me (don't watch anymore). Then how come low I.Q. Crazy Mika, along with Psycho Joe, came..

...to Mar-a-Lago 3 nights in a row around New Year's Eve, and insisted on joining me. She was bleeding badly from a face-lift. I said no!

2. And the time he gave us this tweet version of Inception.
I am being investigated for firing the FBI Director by the man who told me to fire the FBI Director! Witch Hunt

3. He enjoys tweeting about how corrupt the FBI is, even calling the former FBI director an, ahem, “leaker.”
Despite so many false statements and lies, total and complete vindication...and WOW, Comey is a leaker!

4. He’s really into the idea of a “witch hunt,” and actual witches everywhere are like, “nahhh, we don’t want him.”
This is the single greatest witch hunt of a politician in American history!

5. The time he kicked Kim Jong Un out of his group in the sandbox but didn’t call him “short and fat.”
Why would Kim Jong-un insult me by calling me "old," when I would NEVER call him "short and fat?" Oh well, I try so hard to be his friend - and maybe someday that will happen!

6. OK, so this was from before he was elected, but we’re still not over how bigoted it is.

7. He’s like Batman except, you know, running a country.
For those few people knocking me for tweeting at three o'clock in the morning, at least you know I will be there, awake, to answer the call!

8. Not found. Terrible!
Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my "wires tapped" in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!

9. About that whole “freedom of the press” thing…
The FAKE NEWS media (failing @nytimes, @NBCNews, @ABC, @CBS, @CNN) is not my enemy, it is the enemy of the American People!

10. Bueller…Bueller?
Who can figure out the true meaning of "covfefe" ??? Enjoy!

11. Poor Obama, Putin simply just isn’t that into you.
Does the Fake News Media remember when Crooked Hillary Clinton, as Secretary of State, was begging Russia to be our friend with the misspelled reset button? Obama tried also, but he had zero chemistry with Putin.

12. Sad.
Just tried watching Saturday Night Live - unwatchable! Totally biased, not funny and the Baldwin impersonation just can't get any worse. Sad

13. Happy New Year, even to you, you losers.
Happy New Year to all, including to my many enemies and those who have fought me and lost so badly they just don't know what to do. Love!

14. He’s dead! No really, he is!
Fidel Castro is dead!

15. EVEN ON THANKSGIVING AFTER 6PM!
expensive mistake! THE UNITED STATES IS OPEN FOR BUSINESS
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 4, 2016
16. Is this a threat or a promise?
If the press would cover me accurately & honorably, I would have far less reason to "tweet." Sadly, I don't know if that will ever happen!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 5, 2016
17. Uh, sure.
Bill Clinton stated that I called him after the election. Wrong, he called me (with a very nice congratulations). He "doesn't know much" ...
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 20, 2016
18. He’s a regular old Christmas angel.
The world was gloomy before I won - there was no hope. Now the market is up nearly 10% and Christmas spending is over a trillion dollars!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 26, 2016
19. That Snoop Dogg and his failing career.
Can you imagine what the outcry would be if @SnoopDogg, failing career and all, had aimed and fired the gun at President Obama? Jail time!

20. Easy D, doesn’t come for free, she’s a real lady.
Big increase in traffic into our country from certain areas, while our people are far more vulnerable, as we wait for what should be EASY D!

21. Nordstrom is a Regina George in mid-priced luxury cashmere sweaters.
My daughter Ivanka has been treated so unfairly by @Nordstrom. She is a great person -- always pushing me to do the right thing! Terrible!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 8, 2017
22. And presented without comment…
SEE YOU IN COURT, THE SECURITY OF OUR NATION IS AT STAKE!

Somehow, we have a feeling that the craziest Trump tweets are still yet to come. Stay tuned!
