Don tweets ‘we’ into Internet meme

-

Washington, May 14: US President Donald Trump accidental­ly tweeted “We” on Twitter following which it quickly turned out into an Internet meme as users added their own ending to the single-word, according to a media report. The tweet by Trump was quickly deleted yesterday but Twitter users seized into the mistaken tweet by turning into a full sentence or offering mock interpreta­tions of the word’s meaning, the Hill reported.

Some finished the sentence for him with song lyrics. “WILL WE WILL ROCK YOU” tweeted one. “Will never, ever, get back together,” another added.

Twitter users hailed it as President Trump’s best tweet to date. Adam Parkhomenk­o, a former aide to Hillary Clinton, also used the tweet to start a #We hashtag, encoring Twitter users to “tell Trump how you really feel,” the report said.

One of the Twitter users wrote “The President’s tweet speaks for itself Sean Spicer, tomorrow.”

Others just posted images of Russian President Vladimir Putin and Trump riding a horse and captioned “#We Belong Together”.

People began using the #We hashtag to speak about what they want for their country. Most targeted Trump for a variety of reasons like missing tax returns, potential ties to Russia, healthcare, but some contained simple requests to take care of and protect the country the best he can. “#We are uniting our compassion­ate, progressiv­e ideas in a movement to promote equality in our country & the world,” a user tweeted.

Trump has been on his Twitter account, which boasts 29.3 million followers, since 2009.

Earlier this year, he had accidental­ly tagged Ivanka from Brighton in Twitter blunder instead of Ivanka Trump.
