O presidente norte-americano que mais publica nas redes sociais teve um ano intenso no Twitter. Eis os principais tweets de Trump dos últimos 12 meses.
Há uma semana Donald Trump tweetava que “fez mais mal ao ISIS do que todos os presidentes juntos”, o atual presidente dos EUA é também o presidente que passou mais tempo nas redes sociais da história da Sala Oval. Os tweets de Trump acompanham a atualidade e há já senadores que baseiam os seus votos e decisões consoante os tweets do seu presidente.
A jornalista e cronista especializada em tecnologia Kara Swisher dizia na sua crónica desta semana no New York Times sobre Donald Trump: “Somos agora um governo do Twitter, pelo Twitter e para o Twitter. Swisher argumenta que há uma linha direta do pensamento de Trump para o Twitter, como nunca se viu na história da presidência norte-americana, algo que tem aumentado nos últimos dias “para níveis bizarros” de “um bully dos tweets”. Em apenas 24 horas, de quinta para sexta-feira, Trump fez 26 tweets repletos de pontos de exclamação, ameaças e críticas.
A CNN, entretanto, tem juntado todos os tweets de Trump num site, para que não caiam no esquecimento. A verdade é que os tweets de Trump são um bom mapa do que se passou na história norte-americana e do mundo durante o ano de 2018. Daí que estes sejam os tweets mais memoráveis do ano, mês a mês, que ajudam a perceber o que se passou e a visão inflamada do presidente norte-americano sobre os temas.
Janeiro
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 & more powerful one than his, and my Button works!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 3, 2018
O eventual encontro de Trump com Kim Jong-un iniciou uma troca de galhardetes entre os dois líderes, com o líder norte-coreano a inficar que tinha um butão nuclear na sua secretária e que os EUA estavam ao alcance.
Now that Russian collusion, after one year of intense study, has proven to be a total hoax on the American public, the Democrats and their lapdogs, the Fake News Mainstream Media, are taking out the old Ronald Reagan playbook and screaming mental stability and intelligence…..
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 6, 2018
….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…..
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 6, 2018
….to President of the United States (on my first try). I think that would qualify as not smart, but genius….and a very stable genius at that!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 6, 2018
O estado mental de Trump foi um dos temas após o lançamento do livro de Michael Wolff, Fogo e Fúria.
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
É difícil perceber se estava a ser sarcástico sobre a Marcha das Mulheres, realizada em janeiro, e que reuniu mais de um milhão de mulheres por várias cidades norte-americanas. A edição de 2019 realiza-se a 19 de janeiro.
Fevereiro
WITCH HUNT!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 27, 2018
Em fevereiro o presidente norte-americano voltou a dizer ser algo de caça às bruxas.
Março
The United States has an $800 Billion Dollar Yearly Trade Deficit because of our “very stupid” trade deals and policies. Our jobs and wealth are being given to other countries that have taken advantage of us for years. They laugh at what fools our leaders have been. No more!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 3, 2018
Depois de, durante anos, ter dito que os EUA estavam a ser roubados por outras nações, Trump iniciou neste mês uma guerra comercial global, que começou a 1 de março com tarifas pesadas sobre aço e alumínio importados.
The new Fake News narrative is that there is CHAOS in the White House. Wrong! People will always come & go, and I want strong dialogue before making a final decision. I still have some people that I want to change (always seeking perfection). There is no Chaos, only great Energy!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 6, 2018
Trump respondia assim às muitas saídas do início do ano da Casa Branca.
Crazy Joe Biden is trying to act like a tough guy. Actually, he is weak, both mentally and physically, and yet he threatens me, for the second time, with physical assault. He doesn’t know me, but he would go down fast and hard, crying all the way. Don’t threaten people Joe!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 22, 2018
Joe Biden voltou a ser um dos preferidos de Trump para criticar, numa altura em que se fala que pode ser candidato em 2020.
Abril
While Security spending was somewhat more than his predecessor, Scott Pruitt has received death threats because of his bold actions at EPA. Record clean Air & Water while saving USA Billions of Dollars. Rent was about market rate, travel expenses OK. Scott is doing a great job!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 8, 2018
O responsável pela agência ambiental norte-americana, Scott Pruitt, envolveu-se num escândalo de dinheiro desperdiçado, abuso de poder e mentiras mas nem assim Trump deixou de o defender.
President Xi and I will always be friends, no matter what happens with our dispute on trade. China will take down its Trade Barriers because it is the right thing to do. Taxes will become Reciprocal & a deal will be made on Intellectual Property. Great future for both countries!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 8, 2018
Apesar da guerra comercial com a China, Trump fez amigos.
The Washington Post said I refer to Jeff Sessions as “Mr. Magoo” and Rod Rosenstein as “Mr. Peepers.” This is “according to people with whom the president has spoken.” There are no such people and don’t know these characters…just more Fake & Disgusting News to create ill will!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 21, 2018
As acusações de fake news continuaram.
Maio
Who’s going to give back the young and beautiful lives (and others) that have been devastated and destroyed by the phony Russia Collusion Witch Hunt? They journeyed down to Washington, D.C., with stars in their eyes and wanting to help our nation…They went back home in tatters!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 27, 2018
As investigações sobre o alegado conluio de Trump com os russos, de Robert Mueller, foram um dos temas preferidos do presidente que, aqui, defende alguns dos acusados de mentiram.
Sorry, I’ve got to start focusing my energy on North Korea Nuclear, bad Trade Deals, VA Choice, the Economy, rebuilding the Military, and so much more, and not on the Rigged Russia Witch Hunt that should be investigating Clinton/Russia/FBI/Justice/Obama/Comey/Lynch etc.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 29, 2018
Bob Iger of ABC called Valerie Jarrett to let her know that “ABC does not tolerate comments like those” made by Roseanne Barr. Gee, he never called President Donald J. Trump to apologize for the HORRIBLE statements made and said about me on ABC. Maybe I just didn’t get the call?
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 30, 2018
Trump defendeu a atriz Roseanne Barr, que foi despedida da ABC.
Junho
Congresswoman Maxine Waters, an extraordinarily low IQ person, has become, together with Nancy Pelosi, the Face of the Democrat Party. She has just called for harm to supporters, of which there are many, of the Make America Great Again movement. Be careful what you wish for Max!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 25, 2018
Os ataques à inteligência dos outros foram frequentes.
HOUSE REPUBLICANS SHOULD PASS THE STRONG BUT FAIR IMMIGRATION BILL, KNOWN AS GOODLATTE II, IN THEIR AFTERNOON VOTE TODAY, EVEN THOUGH THE DEMS WON’T LET IT PASS IN THE SENATE. PASSAGE WILL SHOW THAT WE WANT STRONG BORDERS & SECURITY WHILE THE DEMS WANT OPEN BORDERS = CRIME. WIN!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 27, 2018
As dificuldades em passar legislação relacionada com as fronteiras irritaram Trump no Twitter.
Prior to departing Wisconsin, I was briefed on the shooting at Capital Gazette in Annapolis, Maryland. My thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families. Thank you to all of the First Responders who are currently on the scene.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 28, 2018
Trump continuou a criticar os meios de comunicação por todo o lado.
Julho
After having written many best selling books, and somewhat priding myself on my ability to write, it should be noted that the Fake News constantly likes to pore over my tweets looking for a mistake. I capitalize certain words only for emphasis, not b/c they should be capitalized!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 3, 2018
Trump explica porque usa maiúsculas e responde aos críticos.
Agosto
Lebron James was just interviewed by the dumbest man on television, Don Lemon. He made Lebron look smart, which isn’t easy to do. I like Mike!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 4, 2018
California wildfires are being magnified & made so much worse by the bad environmental laws which aren’t allowing massive amounts of readily available water to be properly utilized. It is being diverted into the Pacific Ocean. Must also tree clear to stop fire from spreading!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 6, 2018
O presidente norte-americano garante que percebe mais de gestão de fogos florestais do que os serviços florestais do país, naquele que foi o ano mais mortífero durante a época de fogos na Califórnia.
As long as I campaign and/or support Senate and House candidates (within reason), they will win! I LOVE the people, & they certainly seem to like the job I’m doing. If I find the time, in between China, Iran, the Economy and much more, which I must, we will have a giant Red Wave!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 8, 2018

Um dos vídeos de Trump mais partilhados foi após o furacão Florence,
Judge Kavanaugh showed America exactly why I nominated him. His testimony was powerful, honest, and riveting. Democrats’ search and destroy strategy is disgraceful and this process has been a total sham and effort to delay, obstruct, and resist. The Senate must vote!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 27, 2018
O juiz Kavanaugh entrou no meio de polémica (relacionada com abusos sexuais antigos) no Supremo Tribunal de Justiça.
Outubro
Just spoke with the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia who totally denied any knowledge of what took place in their Turkish Consulate. He was with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo…
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 16, 2018
Putin negou a influência russa nas eleições de 2016 e Trump acreditou nele. Mohammed bin Salman, líder saudita, negou ter mandado matar o jornalista Jamal Khashoggi e Trump também acreditou nele, embora as agências norte-americanas pensassem o contrário.
All Republicans support people with pre-existing conditions, and if they don’t, they will after I speak to them. I am in total support. Also, Democrats will destroy your Medicare, and I will keep it healthy and well!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 18, 2018
Com os Democratas perto de ganharem controlo da Casa dos Representantes, Trump fez um último esforço para ganhar votos para os Republicanos.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 2, 2018
O anúncio de Trump de sanções da guerra comercial foi feita com inspiração na Guerra dos Tronos.
Tremendous success tonight. Thank you to all!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 7, 2018
Em dia de eleições intercalares, os republicanos perderam 40 lugares na Casa dos Comuns, mas Trump celebrou.
Of course we should have captured Osama Bin Laden long before we did. I pointed him out in my book just BEFORE the attack on the World Trade Center. President Clinton famously missed his shot. We paid Pakistan Billions of Dollars & they never told us he was living there. Fools!..
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 19, 2018
Brutal and Extended Cold Blast could shatter ALL RECORDS – Whatever happened to Global Warming?

….I am a Tariff Man. When people or countries come in to raid the great wealth of our Nation, I want them to pay for the privilege of doing so. It will always be the best way to max out our economic power. We are right now taking in $billions in Tariffs. MAKE AMERICA RICH AGAIN
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 4, 2018
The Democrats are trying to belittle the concept of a Wall, calling it old fashioned. The fact is there is nothing else’s that will work, and that has been true for thousands of years. It’s like the wheel, there is nothing better. I know tech better than anyone, & technology…..
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 21, 2018
A design of our Steel Slat Barrier which is totally effective while at the same time beautiful! pic.twitter.com/sGltXh0cu9

I am all alone (poor me) in the White House waiting for the Democrats to come back and make a deal on desperately needed Border Security. At some point the Democrats not wanting to make a deal will cost our Country more money than the Border Wall we are all talking about. Crazy!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 24, 2018
Em 2016 já o New York Times tinha reunido as 550 pessoas, lugares e coisas que Trump tinha já insultado, com detalhes pormenorizados. Este ano o mesmo jornal reuniu as pessoas que Trump elogiou no seu Twitter.
