First Lady Melania Trump beat her husband Donald Trump by sending out her message on this important Martin Luther King Day first. Maybe, the reason is that she is 22 years younger than him and appears to be in far better health. Given that POTUS is the Twitter king, it was a bit surprising that she was faster out the gate than he was.
Mrs. Trump sent out a short, but meaningful tweet nearly half an hour before the president sent his:
Then, the man currently sitting in the Oval Office sent out his tweet. Of course, Trump had to make the day all about himself. The first part of his message sounded as if his White House staff wrote it. The second part must have been the commander-in-chief’s idea:
‘Presidential Proclamation on Martin Luther King, Jr., Federal Holiday, 2019’
Trump used his office to make a Martin Luther King proclamation all about his own accomplishments:
‘We have added more than 5 million new jobs to the economy over the past 2 years and unemployment rates for African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, and Americans without a high school degree have reached record lows.‘Last year, I was proud to sign into law the First Step Act, which will prepare inmates to successfully rejoin society and effect commonsense reforms to make our justice system fairer for all Americans.’
FLOTUS beat out POTUS in multiple ways.
