White House prints out Trump tweets at social media summit

Ahead of its social media summit Thursday afternoon, the White House printed and displayed several of President Trump’s tweets, as well as various definitions of words.

“Thanks — many are saying I’m the best 140 character writer in the world. It’s easy when it’s fun,” read one of Trump’s tweets from 2012.

Another was an unfinished tweet with the phrase “covfefe,” which went viral after Trump tweeted it last March.

Also scattered around the White House were printed cards with definitions of words like “doxing,” which was defined as “publicly releasing private information for the purpose of harassment and/or the incitement of violence.”{mosads}

Photos of the displays quickly gained attention on social media, with some users mocking the choice of tweets and words featured, as well as a few apparent misspellings.

The invite list for the social media summit included several controversial right-wing figures, including individuals who have been banned from platforms for violating their policies and who have alleged unfair treatment and liberal bias from Google, Facebook and Twitter.

Some GOP lawmakers, including Rep. Matt Gaetz (Fla.) and Sen. Marsha Blackburn (Tenn.), have spoken out about their concerns over conservatives on social media.

Facebook and Twitter are among tech companies who weren’t invited to the event, which will feature remarks by Trump, an avid user of social media.
