There’s a common phrase on Twitter that seems to be getting more common by the day: “How is there always a tweet?”
More specifically, how is it possible that for every story about President Trump, there is an oddly appropriate old tweet from pre-President Trump? How is it that the man who came in second in Iowa caucuses once tweeted, “No one remembers who came in second.” How is it that the man who ordered an air strike on Syria once begged Obama on Twitter, in all caps, not to attack Syria without getting congressional approval first?
Today, though — today is a doozy. Today isn’t just a rueful, coincidental “How is there always a tweet?” Today is eerie. Today is space-time continuum weird. This week, NBC’s Stephanie Ruhle reported that Secretary of State Rex Tillerson called President Trump a “fucking moron” in a meeting. Let’s flash back three years to the month. How is it that this “fucking moron” tweeted this?
An interesting cartoon indeed.
