Teen: Trump edited my tweet about CNN

Source: The Hill

A teenage Twitter user who Donald Trump retweeted to attack CNN reporter Jeff Zeleny said that the president-elect edited his tweet.

"Pathetic - you have no sufficient evidence that Donald Trump did not suffer from voter fraud, shame! Bad reporter," Trump tweeted, quoting part of the user's tweet.

But user @FiIibuster on Tuesday showed that his original tweet did not include the words “Bad reporter,” and noting that Trump added it.
"Dishonest @CNN is blaming me for calling @jeffzeleny a 'bad reporter'. Donald Trump added that to the end of the tweet, not me. Thank you,” the user, who claims to be 16-years-old, tweeted.

...

The president-elect said the network is "so embarrassed by their total (100%) support of Hillary Clinton... they don't know what to do," before reposting a stream of tweets attacking reporter Zeleny.

Trump as President will constantly be Tweeting out lies and personal attacks.
We used to be proud to be Americans, but with Trump in the White House many of us are ashamed.

9. Of All The Horrifying Things

regarding this POS becoming our POTUS, I honestly think this window into his so-called mindset is the most horrifying. The man-child is not spending time preparing for the biggest, most difficult job in the world. Nope. He'd rather alter and retweet bullcrap conspiracy theories from teenagers. This is what has his focus right now. He really is a child in terms of emotional maturity. ALL the other horrifying things - the open bigotry, misogyny, xenophobia, are IMO products of a child-like brain and emotional makeup - this underdeveloped mental bag of hammers can be sold whatever snake oil salespeople want to sell him and he runs with it.

Think of what Putin and other world leaders are going to do to this idiot when they want to manipulate him. Or don't, as when I do I actually shudder.

These next four years are going to be so terrible I can't even imagine it.
