The former president trended on the platform for much of the day, frequently under hashtags like #BarackObamaDay, #ObamaDayUSA, and #ObamaDayJune14th. Users tw
Donald Trump spoke at West Point's commencement on Saturday. After the speech, he left the stage by walking down a ramp. You'd think this would be a pretty straightforward exit, but it was not: Trump scooted down the ramp with noticeable caution, then spent the lead-up to his own birthday tweeting lies about it to defend himself.

There is mounting dread that we will emerge from the coronavirus crisis with a higher death rate than comparable countries and a more ravaged economy For someone who has so incessantly bragged that his government is delivering a “world-beating” response to the coronavirus crisis, Boris Johnson becomes peculiarly shy whenever anyone presents him with direct questions about how his government is do
