Trump tried to troll the Women’s March by touting his own achievements, but it all blew up in his face.
Trump’s Twitter account tweeted:
Beautiful weather all over our great country, a perfect day for all Women to March. Get out there now to celebrate the historic milestones and unprecedented economic success and wealth creation that has taken place over the last 12 months. Lowest female unemployment in 18 years!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 20, 2018

House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi’s account immediately owned Trump by tweeting:
Who wants to tell him? https://t.co/ZIWZvVkMCO

Trump did not write that tweet trolling women’s march.
Here is an example of a tweet that was written by the President just before the government shut down:
Not looking good for our great Military or Safety & Security on the very dangerous Southern Border. Dems want a Shutdown in order to help diminish the great success of the Tax Cuts, and what they are doing for our booming economy.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 20, 2018
In tweets written by Trump, the thoughts are randomly strung together. There will be misspelled words, exclamation points, and in the case of the tweet above words inappropriately capitalized.
The tweet about the women’s march was not written by Trump, but it has completely backfired and shown out of touch with reality this White House is. With the nation mired in a government shutdown that the president caused and hundreds of thousands of people on the streets protesting, today was definitely not the day to take to social media to proclaim how great everything is.
The women’s march owned Trump last year, and they are doing it again in 2018, as the White House needs to get off of Twitter and focus on ending the government shutdown.
