The original was posted at 5 am. The one you are defending has a 10 am time. Also it does not have the tweet blue bird in the corner than all tweets have. It is a total fake.

"Donald Trump took to Twitter at 5:42 a.m. to fire off a tweet attacking the left-leaning actor for his portrayal of Trump on 'Saturday Night Live.' Baldwin had said on Thursday in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter that it was 'agony' to portray the president."

snip--------------------------------------------------------------

"Trump was not amused -- and not good at spelling so early in the morning. He tweeted about Baldwin's 'dieing' career and misspelled his name as 'Alex.' It's unclear if the president was being sarcastic on the latter."

snip--------------------------------------------------------------

"The president had already deleted the tweet -- presumably due to the spelling issues and not regret at attacking Baldwin -- by 6 a.m.

He reupped the tweet, this time with proper spelling of both 'Alec' and 'dying' at 6:07 a.m."

Fri Mar 2, 2018, 08:46 PM
Mar 2018

Trump's original tweet was at 5 am. The photo shopped one was at 10 am. So Trump would have had to have a time machine to correct it. You can't change the time on tweets.

The New York Times printed the original and said the only correction that was made was the spelling of "Alec". So not only a time machine but the Times is now covering for Trump. OK, in your world...

There's more to his actions than just random brain farts. He is acting out a itinerary - maybe a pre-calculated plot or a externally directed set of instructions.

When we get the chance, I hope we can compare the brain morphology between Hitler, Stalin, Mao Tse Dung, Dump, Kim Boy. Aren't these ALWAYS men revered to the point where their remains are embalmed forever?

Except for the "smart" part, and the "good student" part, and the "best school" part. Other than that it's a completely accurate statement.

Just a few days ago Lehigh University faculty voted to rescind
the honorary degree they bestowed on "Smart Guy" . They
must be terribly embarrassed for their error.

Alex Baldwin's career really was dieing in Trump's original tweet. Later, Alec Baldwin's career was dying, according to The Stable Genius.
