Trump’s Official POTUS Account Retweets First Lady’s Anti-Bullying Speech, Trump’s Personal Account Does Not

But the White House Communications team is believed to control the official @POTUS Twitter account, and that became glaringly obvious Thursday afternoon.

First Lady Melania Trump delivered a short speech Wednesday at a United Nations luncheon to first spouses of world leaders. The focus: ending bullying and following the “Golden Rule” of treating others how you wish to be treated. 

The irony was palpable, with people on social media suggesting she start with her husband, a consummate bully who happens to be the president of the United States.

On Thursday, President Trump had still not even acknowledged the First Lady’s speech, although he had plenty of time to tweet about his meetings with several foreign leaders, his support (and the NRA’s) for his preferred GOP senatorial candidate in the Alabama race, his support for Graham-Cassidy – the latest, and most despicable version of TrumpCare – and even a kind message to the people of Puerto Rico.
