100 Times Trump Owned Himself With a Tweet From His Past
Photo by Drew Angerer/Getty“There is always a tweet.”
Those words started out funny, became prophetic, and have now transcended all adjectives except two: “uncanny” and “bizarre.” Long before he became president, Donald Trump made a habit of attacking President Obama on social media. Twitter, in particular, became the digital vanguard of the birther movement he helped start. These were the front lines of his personal battle against the black president he despised, and he unleashed his venom at every opportunity.
Unfortunately for him, those tweets would have very long lives—ones that went far beyond Obama’s two terms in office. Trump’s old tweets now look like 140-character time bombs set to go off in the future. All the criticisms he leveled at Obama have returned on him tenfold, and when viewed in the current context, it’s as though he’s savagely criticizing himself.
Hence, “there is always a tweet.” For every move Trump makes, a digital ghost of himself exists to taunt him with his own logic. On Aug. 13, 2013, he tweeted “Be prepared, there is a small chance that our horrendous leadership could unknowingly lead us into World War III.” Hmmm… On Jan. 11, 2013, he tweeted, “Let’s get out of Afghanistan. Our troops are being killed by the Afghanis we train and we waste billions there. Nonsense!” Hmm… On Sep. 26, 2012, he tweeted: “Obama’s complaints about Republicans stopping his agenda are BS since he had full control for two years. He can never take responsibility.” Hmmm…
You get the idea. As we said, it’s uncanny. Below, find your ultimate guide to our president’s Twitter self-owns—100 of the best, straight from the idiot’s mouth. We’ve organized it by three categories:
You Did This, Dummy
This section is devoted to tweets where citizen/candidate Trump bashes policies or behaviors that President Trump endorsed or enacted, or previous stances which would come to haunt him as new information emerged during his administration.
You Did This, Dummy (President Obama Edition)
Trump truly became Twitter famous during Barack Obama’s second term, when his birther BS ignited an army of racist trolls. Unfortunately for our commander-in-cheeto, tweeting about what presidents should do is a lot easier than being president, and he is both loud-mouthed and ham-fisted enough that we could fill an entire section with tweets where he did the thing that he’s criticizing Obama for doing.
Self-Owns
While less empirically true than the ones above, our last section contains tweets penned by past Trump which clearly describe present Trump—along with any other gems that fall short of the standard of the previous two categories. Be sure to take note of the date on each tweet as they span a fairly wide range.
Now, before we begin to dunk all over our president using his own words, we do have to give him credit for one absolute gem of a tweet:
1. Trump’s only good tweet.

6. “But everyone-in-my-administration’s emails!” Like you will see later with golf and Obamacare, there are enough Trump tweets about Hillary’s private e-mail server to fill their own list, and these get more and more hilarious each time a new member of his administration/family is revealed to have used a private e-mail server.

11. Remember that time he fought with the Pope?
“I think that the Pope is a very political person. I don’t think he understands the danger of the open border that we have with Mexico. I think Mexico got him to do it because they want to keep the border just the way it is. They’re making a fortune, and we’re losing.”
And of course:
The new Pope is a humble man, very much like me, which probably explains why I like him so much!

12. This isn’t a contradiction so much as it’s just old-school politician lying. Trump’s health care bill would have virtually eliminated Medicaid.

23. Every time Trump hints at the destruction of North Korea like he’s teasing the next episode of The Apprentice, this one invades Twitter. Because he hasn’t gone to war with Iran (yet) and only winks at it, this does not fall in to the bona fide “he did this” Obama section.

43. Not an Obama one, but it’s linked to his beloved Yankees so we’re sneaking it in. Justin Verlander just pitched one of the greatest postseason’s in recent memory. He completely shut down the Yankees twice in the American League Championship—pitching 16 out of a possible 18 innings across both starts—allowing just one run while striking out 21 batters against just two walks.

Obama has admitted that he spends his mornings watching @ESPN. Then he plays golf, fundraises & grants amnesty to illegals.

61. Intelligence services have to send Trump pictures, and put his name in the text more than is necessary to make sure he reads their reports. The latter strategy is the exact same way dogs are trained—just make sure to say their names when giving commands so they stay on point.

87. Okay, his projection isn’t funny anymore.
Polls are starting to look really bad for Obama. Looks like he’ll have to start a war or major conflict to win. Don’t put it past him!

88. *thinking face emoji*
I’m a conservative, but the weakness of conservatives is that they destroy each other, whereas liberals unite to win.

89. Remember when Trump loved football? To be fair to our commander-in-tweet, George Will is a moron.
@GeorgeFWill is suggesting football is going away and @MittRomney will lose. @GeorgeFWill is a moron.

90. This one’s even more painful in the wake of our realization that our nuclear-armed whacko leader is just as crazy as North Korea’s nuclear-armed whacko leader.
The global warming we should be worried about is the global warming caused by NUCLEAR WEAPONS in the hands of crazy or incompetent leaders!

91. Trump’s own cabinet has almost certainly considered this point.
Are you allowed to impeach a president for gross incompetence?

92. When the report came out that Secretary of State Rex Tillerson called Trump a moron and then didn’t deny it, this Comic Sans MS madness began making the rounds.
An interesting cartoon that is circulating. pic.twitter.com/OPG2R2ytkr

93. This isn’t cryptic at all.
President Obama was able to fool the Americans by getting elected, but not able to fool Vladimir Putin. Too bad for us!

94. *looks directly at camera*
Can you imagine what Putin and all of our friends and enemies throughout the world are saying about the U.S. as they watch the Ferguson riot

95. Are we sure this is real life?
Putin is having such a good time. Our President is making him look like the genius of all geniuses. Do not fear,we are a NATION OF POTENTIAL

96. “I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH RUSSIA — NO DEALS, NO LOANS, NO NOTHING!”
Aras Agalarov is one of the many oligarchs in the Kremlin’s pocket. It’s not exactly a secret either.
@AgalarovAras I had a great weekend with you and your family. You have done a FANTASTIC job. TRUMP TOWER-MOSCOW is next. EMIN was WOW!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 11, 2013
97. This one never gets old.
Do you think Putin will be going to The Miss Universe Pageant in November in Moscow – if so, will he become my new best friend?
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 19, 2013
98. No wonder he’s so upset about the Russian investigation.
Pay-to-play. Collusion. Cover-ups. And now bribery? So CROOKED. I will #DrainTheSwamp. https://t.co/FNzMit7mD8

99. LAST ONE I SWEAR
“@damiranz: DonaldTrump: Pls don’t run for president. If you do and win, the rest of the world would be screwed” So true, (except friends)!

100. Let’s switch it up here at the end and post a YouTube video to close things out. Remember this past August when Trump tried to rally his southern base with this tweet: “Sad to see the history and culture of our great country being ripped apart with the removal of our beautiful statues and monuments.”
Well, here’s what he had to say back in 2015. Enjoy, and remember: There’s always a tweet (or video).
P.S. Every. Single. Day. A. New. One. Returns.
All it takes is one news story, and the ghost of Twitter past comes out to haunt Trump once again. We were done, and then a big story broke, and past Trump reminded us that our work was far from being finished. This one began making the rounds as The Washington Post published a report that GOP Senate candidate Roy Moore, who is running to replace Jeff Sessions in Alabama, initiated a sexual encounter with a 14 year old girl when he was 32. I swear to God, Donald Trump time travels to the past in order to humiliate his present self.
Spoke to Roy Moore of Alabama last night for the first time. Sounds like a really great guy who ran a fantastic race. He will help to #MAGA!
