7. The presidents more toned-down response to the Womens March, which happened a day after his inauguration, had almost 90,000 retweets.
Peaceful protests are a hallmark of our democracy. Even if I dont always agree, I recognize the rights of people to express their views, he wrote a day after millions of women across the country protested his presidency.
6. A tweet that included photos of Trump's trip to Saudi Arabia in May had over 96,000 shares.

Winning everywhere...
Man, that was a fun look back at 2017 and some of the President’s greatest hits! Here’s to more tweets and retweets in 2018!! May Donald Trump continue to confound the crap out of the enemedia!
If you do not have Covfefe! GET SUM!
this president is an entertaining genius. He keeps everyone busy while he accomplishes massive change.
Enjoyed that immensely, Oshkalaboomboom. Thanks for all your posting activity this morning. It’s been very enjoyable.
You're quite welcome. My wife is roasting a Duck for our Christmas dinner and this is keeping me out of her way.
I thought it was appropriate to make shepherd’s pie for dinner last night. Today we’re joining friends at a restaurant. LOVE cooking duck. Not husband’s favorite dish though. Sigh. But now that you’ve got me thinking about it, perhaps I could do a whole second main course for him and a fruit stuffed duck for me. Lovely thought. Do enjoy. And the most wonderful day to you and yours.
President Trump’s tweets = laser pointer
Big Leftist Media = cat
He plays this game every day, and the Media always jumps at it, they just can’t resist.
He’s effectively re-branding Big Media to look like a bunch of reactionary, unthinking idiots, and they don’t even realize it.
Yes, this was obviously a typo because Trump certainly did not mean to call CNN frauds, because that would mean that CNN is deliberately distributing falsehoods with the expectation that viewers would rely upon their #fakenews to their detriment, and that viewers did so rely.
No, Trump could not possibly have meant that CNN were frauds and surely just intended to call them fakes, which is a matter of opinion as opposed to an issue of fact.
I mean call someone a fraud and they can sue for defamation, if it is false, which I guess CNN hasn't yet done.
I wonder why.
We're using a recipe from Nigella Lawson that starts off by poking dozens of holes in the skin with a toothpick, cooking the duck in the oven on a rack over hot water so the duck is beautifully steamed as the fat drips away, then removing the water, raising the temperature and cooking it so the skin is crisp while the meat is tender. It comes out great but we don't like the sauce she pairs with it.
And the most wonderful day to you and yours.
I've gone from being threatened with an unceremonious ban for being a troll to wonderful compliments for being a good poster. The highs and lows of FReeping. Have a great day.
