<p><br>Ah, Donald J. Trump – presumably our only president whose tweets come directly from his own –&nbsp;<a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/history-donald-trump-small-hands-insult/story?id=37395515">NOT SMALL</a> – thumbs, instead of being carefully manufactured into inoffensive, flavorless blocks of word-meat by a team of government employees. <br></p>



<p>Whether you think his unfiltered tweets are refreshing, dangerous, hilarious or just plain stupid, we can all agree on one thing: they’re iconic. Here are 10 of old Don’s most iconic tweets of all time:<br><br></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">10. </h2>



<figure class="wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Why would Kim Jong-un insult me by calling me &quot;old,&quot; when I would NEVER call him &quot;short and fat?&quot; Oh well, I try so hard to be his friend &#8211; and maybe someday that will happen!</p>&mdash; Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) <a href="https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/929511061954297857?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 12, 2017</a></blockquote><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</div></figure>



<p>If you have the <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/make-trump-tweets-eight-a/iopebbikefjcknnbmdkkcebchlnaioen/related?hl=en">Google Chrome plugin</a> that displays all of Trump’s tweets in the handwriting of an 8-year-old, you will see what is almost picture-for-picture and word-for-word my own diary entry from a decade earlier. Should I sue for plagiarism?</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/0KD1yyJ4bL7oQ6TY4OZXJlDsP7oQQgIAaaFfWpEmADSLiZrLHSKsfCVQtLMrrg_sM0CwteyS42rPuTozxRtJ3uN7dL_IUf-yQQ46VxEOzdZxM7sz6D3jDObky0ORpzh7vrx9tAiO" alt=""/></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">9.</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Lowest rated Oscars in HISTORY. Problem is, we don’t have Stars anymore &#8211; except your President (just kidding, of course)!</p>&mdash; Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) <a href="https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/971013841395027968?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 6, 2018</a></blockquote><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</div></figure>



<p>Ha! I am a big fan of this fun and playful tweet! However, as funny as it is, he does have a point. Why wasn’t Trump cast as the male lead in “A Star is Born” or “Bohemian Rhapsody”? A missed opportunity. Sad!<br></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">8. </h2>



<figure class="wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">To Iranian President Rouhani: NEVER, EVER THREATEN THE UNITED STATES AGAIN OR YOU WILL SUFFER CONSEQUENCES THE LIKES OF WHICH FEW THROUGHOUT HISTORY HAVE EVER SUFFERED BEFORE. WE ARE NO LONGER A COUNTRY THAT WILL STAND FOR YOUR DEMENTED WORDS OF VIOLENCE &amp; DEATH. BE CAUTIOUS!</p>&mdash; Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) <a href="https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1021234525626609666?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 23, 2018</a></blockquote><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</div></figure>



<p>If you replace some of the words in this tweet, it could pass as an average <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stan_Twitter">Stan Twitter</a> tweet: “To Kanye West: NEVER, EVER THREATEN TAYLOR SWIFT AGAIN OR YOU WILL SUFFER CONSEQUENCES THE LIKES OF WHICH FEW THROUGHOUT HISTORY HAVE EVER SUFFERED BEFORE. WE ARE NO LONGER A FANDOM THAT WILL STAND FOR YOUR SHADE. BE CAUTIOUS!”</p>

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Sorry losers and haters, but my I.Q. is one of the highest -and you all know it! Please don&#39;t feel so stupid or insecure,it&#39;s not your fault</p>&mdash; Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) <a href="https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/332308211321425920?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 9, 2013</a></blockquote><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</div></figure>



<p>Mad respect to Don for this one. It takes a big man to restrain from flexing your intellectual prowess on your haters. The fact that he both apologizes to and consoles those low IQ losers and haters shows a keen sense of emotional maturity – all in 140 characters or less!</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">6. </h2>



<figure class="wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">WITCH HUNT!</p>&mdash; Donald J.

</div></figure>



<p>We love simplicity. I appreciate the interpretive freedom I have with this one. If I contextualize it, I imagine that he is sitting in front of his phone, reading articles about his alleged collusion with Russia, getting angrier and angrier, his face redder and redder (orange-er?), until all he can muster is a hastily written “<strong><em>WITCH HUNT!</em></strong>” &nbsp;Or maybe he was reading a library book about the Salem witch trials and got excited. You don’t really know with this one. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">5.</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="und" dir="ltr"><a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/FraudNewsCNN?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#FraudNewsCNN</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/FNN?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#FNN</a> <a href="https://t.co/WYUnHjjUjg">pic.twitter.com/WYUnHjjUjg</a></p>&mdash; Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) <a href="https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/881503147168071680?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 2, 2017</a></blockquote><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</div></figure>



<p>Anything I could say about this tweet would detract from it. Enjoy.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">4.</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un just stated that the “Nuclear Button is on his desk at all times.” Will someone from his depleted and food starved regime please inform him that I too have a Nuclear Button, but it is a much bigger &amp; more powerful one than his, and my Button works!</p>&mdash; Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) <a href="https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/948355557022420992?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 3, 2018</a></blockquote><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</div></figure>



<p>The fact that he’s reduced the issue of the total evaporation of thousands of human beings via nuclear warfare to a button measuring contest? Iconic. Subtweeting North Korean totalitarian leader Kim Jong Un? Iconic.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">3. </h2>



<figure class="wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div></figure>



<p>Non-Americans: ask yourself when <em>your </em>president will have his staff draft up a “Game of Thrones” style poster in order to advertise their future policy plans. The answer is never.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">2. </h2>



<figure class="wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">&#8230;.Actually, throughout my life, my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being, like, really smart. Crooked Hillary Clinton also played these cards very hard and, as everyone knows, went down in flames. I went from VERY successful businessman, to top T.V. Star&#8230;..</p>&mdash; Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) <a href="https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/949618475877765120?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 6, 2018</a></blockquote><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</div></figure>



<p>I don’t know what it is about this one. The diction of a 16-year-old? The masterful incorporation of two of his hallmark tweet themes – “Crooked Hillary” and unabashed self-love? The fact that it’s only part two of a three part tweet? Our stable genius king slays the losers and haters once again.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">1. </h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/vSFQP-PRAngu6fDs7MsI2a78L92dRgV3cFjQCjb08ncHtBs7ehZL7gZAS1vzjIUzRxGKkF8l2bQva8K6GZjfZqBN3T3xDDdm3QUtbyTQHQt9SsgmhvgQJeuBzP5yX4XycqjrCgpF" alt=""/><figcaption>The &#8216;covfefe&#8217; tweet. Later deleted by President Trump.</figcaption></figure>



<p>“Covfefe” isn’t even a word and it was plastered all over the Fake News Media<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> for days after this masterpiece was tweeted. Not only did he captivate the attention of the world with this prematurely-sent tweet, but he brought about world peace by turning it into a fun game for the whole human race to play:</p>

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Who can figure out the true meaning of &quot;covfefe&quot; ???  Enjoy!</p>&mdash; Donald J.
