In this exploration, we dive into a collection of tweets that, while not politically charged, have made their mark by perpetuating outdated beliefs and advice. From misconceptions about health to old wives’ tales passed down through generations, these tweets serve as a testament to the enduring power of myth and misinformation. Join us as we unravel the threads of conventional wisdom and uncover the truths behind these engaging, and sometimes perplexing, nuggets of online wisdom.
“Despite the constant negative press covfefe.” (2017)
This tweet was widely criticized for its incoherence and abrupt ending, which led to confusion and mockery. While it may seem relatively harmless, it highlighted Trump’s often impulsive and unfiltered communication style, which many believed did not befit a president, and it detracted from more substantive issues at hand.
“Just had a great meeting with NATO.” (2018)
Trump’s false claim about a non-existent meeting with NATO representatives had the potential to disrupt diplomatic relations and spread misinformation. It underscored concerns about his propensity to make unverified statements on Twitter, which could impact international affairs and sow confusion among the public.
“I won the election!” (2020)
Trump’s repeated false claims of victory following the 2020 presidential election undermined the integrity of the U.S. electoral process, fueled baseless conspiracy theories, and contributed to a sense of political polarization. This tweet had a direct and far-reaching impact on public trust in democratic institutions and the peaceful transition of power.
“Fake News CNN is dead!” (2017)
Trump’s frequent attacks on the media, including this tweet, were criticized for undermining press freedom and casting doubt on the credibility of reputable news organizations. These statements contributed to a climate of hostility toward journalists and eroded the public’s trust in the Fourth Estate as an essential pillar of democracy.
“The United States will be designating ANTIFA as a Terrorist Organization.” (2020)
Trump’s announcement of designating Antifa as a terrorist organization, which he lacked the authority to do, raised concerns about potential civil liberties violations and the misuse of presidential power. It also underscored his tendency to make unverified or impulsive statements on Twitter with far-reaching consequences.
“Our country is totally fractured and, with our weak leadership in Washington, you can expect Ferguson type riots and looting in other places.” (2014)
This tweet contributed to a sense of divisiveness and pessimism regarding racial tensions in the United States. It was seen as exploiting sensitive issues and stoking fears for political purposes, potentially exacerbating tensions.
“The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive.” (2012)
Trump’s climate change denial tweet perpetuated a false conspiracy theory, undermining global efforts to combat climate change and casting doubt on established scientific consensus. It had the potential to hinder progress toward environmental sustainability.
“I have never seen a thin person drinking Diet Coke.” (2012)
This tweet was widely criticized for body-shaming and perpetuating harmful stereotypes about body image. It had a negative impact on public discourse about health and weight-related issues.
“An ‘extremely credible source’ has called my office and told me that Barack Obama’s birth certificate is a fraud.” (2012)
Trump’s promotion of the “birther” conspiracy theory falsely questioned President Obama’s legitimacy and citizenship. This tweet had the potential to undermine trust in democratic processes and fuel racially charged rhetoric.
“I have the absolute right to pardon myself.” (2018)
This tweet raised legal and constitutional questions about the extent of presidential pardon powers. It generated controversy and discussions about the limits of executive authority, contributing to a sense of uncertainty about the rule of law.
