Trump retweets meme of himself 'eclipsing' Obama in Twitter frenzy

Washington: President Donald Trump launched into a Tweetstorm on Thursday morning, retweeting a meme from someone who has complained about Jewish drivers and sending out typo-laden tweets to his followers — then deleting and retweeting them again. The president's morning on Twitter kicked off with a post attacking Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Speaker of the House Paul Ryan about the debt ceiling and legislation he hoped GOP leaders would pass. "I requested that Mitch M & Paul R tie the Debt Ceiling legislation into the popular V.A. Bill (which just passed) for easy approval.

They..." Trump wrote in the first tweet. He soon added, "...didn't do it so now we have a big deal with Dems holding them up (as usual) on Debt Ceiling approval. Could have been so easy-now a mess!" He later added: "The only problem I have with Mitch McConnell is that, after hearing Repeal & Replace for 7 years, he failed!That should NEVER have happened!" About an hour after the first posting, Trump set the Twitterverse abuzz after he retweeted a meme showing himself "eclipsing" President Barack Obama.

The four-way split image shows Trump moving slowly into frame until he completely covers the image of Obama. Trump is in color. Obama is in black and white. The text on the meme reads, "The Best Eclipse Ever!" YouTube actor and self-described political junkie Jerry Travone says he found the image on the internet and tweeted the meme at Trump.
An unrelated tweet on Travone's account from Sunday reads, "We have enough of these jews where I live lol someone else take them . They just can't drive." Travone denied he is anti-Semitic and explained his reason for writing that message. "It was just an emotional expression I was referring to lakewood [sic] New Jersey and the horrible drivers of that town and that happens to be mostly Jewish people that live there."
He earlier told NBC News he found the image that Trump retweeted on social media.
"I got tired of hearing people say how our president hasn't accomplished anything and I knew that wasn't true at all, so I wanted to express what myself and millions of Americans already knew," Travone wrote in a Twitter message.
