https://www.politicususa.com/2019/11/09/trump-thinks-11-9-anniversary-of-sept-11-attacks.htmlDonald Trump did his usual regimen of non-work on Saturday morning by retweeting a flurry of tweets, mostly from his favorite propaganda pushers on Fox News.
But one retweet has left some Twitter users scratching their heads because it appears to suggest that Trump the actual president of the United States believes Nov. 9 (aka 11/9) is the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.
For no apparent reason, Trump reposted this tweet from former White House national security adviser John Bolton commemorating the Sept. 11 attacks:

the September 11 attacks. I'd bet he couldn't tell you the date of Pearl Harbor.

It's understandable, could happen to anyone.
NOt!
Any other president would have an editor on staff to monitor tweets before they went out.
But other presidents have had good senseto varying degrees of courseexcept maybe W.
