Probably the only thing Barack Obama & I have in common is that we both had the honor of firing Jim Mattis, the world’s most overrated General. I asked for his letter of resignation, & felt great about it. His nickname was “Chaos”, which I didn’t like, & changed to “Mad Dog”...— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 4, 2020
...His primary strength was not military, but rather personal public relations. I gave him a new life, things to do, and battles to win, but he seldom “brought home the bacon”. I didn’t like his “leadership” style or much else about him, and many others agree. Glad he is gone!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 4, 2020
How about a third lie? I don't think Trump wrote these tweets.In the space of one tweet, Trump manages two falsehoods. He says he fired Mattis (actually he resigned) and says he "changed" Mattis's nickname to "Mad Dog" (he did not, that nickname long preceded Trump, though Mattis did not care for it).— Peter Baker (@peterbakernyt) June 4, 2020
Sometimes it's obvious when an aide has written a Trump tweet. They are usually identifiable by their mature sentence structure. Also, the asides ("felt great about it" and "Glad he is gone") are weak imitations and I can't see Trump using the phrase "personal public relations".
He certainly would not begin a tweet that has nothing to do Obama by mentioning he has something in common with his predecessor. Come on! Trump would rather face protesters outside the White House than admit he has something in common the Obama.
