JUST IN: Trump misquotes column praising him, brags about his "consensual presidency"


?ref_src=twcamp%5Eshare%7Ctwsrc%5Em5%7Ctwgr%5Eemail%7Ctwcon%5E7046%7Ctwterm%5E0

President Trump on Sunday night shared a misquoted excerpt from a New York Post column praising him and his presidency.

The column by Michael Goodwin, who is reportedly friendly with Trump, is headlined "We're still better off with Trump than Clinton." The column notes Trump's "missteps" since taking office but states "there has never been a day when I wished Hillary Clinton were president." The column also says of Trump: "His is turning out to be an enormously consequential presidency."

Trump tweeted out part of the column on Sunday night, leaving out the mention of his "missteps" and misquoting the word "consequential."

"His is turning out to be an enormously consensual presidency. So much so that...there has never been a day that I wished Hillary Clinton were President. Not one," Trump tweeted.

i guess "consent" is always a bit of a question for a president who got outvoted in the election. unblock Jan 2018 #9
