This bit of news from NBC's Monica Alba, tweeting about what Kristen Welker was told:

Link to tweet

WH official tells @kwelkernbc this image RT'd by @realDonaldTrump was "inadvertently posted" and when "noticed it was immediately deleted"

1. Translation: when Trump inadvertently had unsupervised time on Twitter

he deliberately posted his usual hateful garbage. When his handlers noticed he'd gone off script again, they deleted the offensive tweet.

4. Trump was enjoying his golden throne in trump tower today. No interference in bathroom

2. Just like Trump was "inadvertently" elected, by the Russians

Oh no, that was entirely deliberate too, wasn't it?

[riversedge]

3. LAME. Recall trump tweeted that boxing ring image of him smacking a Cnn reporter. pattern is

there. it exists.

5. Yeah right. We have a terrorist aligned administration. They meant it. Just like ISIS

posts similar images to encourage their followers to commit violence. The white house would love if more racist nazis committed similar attacks.

14. We have a terrorist President. He is just dressed in a suit and extra long tie.

But the truth is, he is too cowardly to do his own dirty work. He is the first to say, "Let's you and him fight!" He tells people to "knock the crap out of him" or "Get him outta here!" Being the typical bully, he instructs others to do the things he himself is just too afraid to do for himself. But the positions he takes, the taunts and racists comments are all on him.

He can try to distance himself from the racist hate going on openly in places like Charlottesville, but he owns this. He nurtured it and fed it and now as it roars to life and becomes the raging monster on the loose, he wants to step back and disavow his part in the issue. As if this is all news to him.

He needs to man up and admit his part in this. We have the proof---hours of video tape as he instructed his audiences in person and on television---of his racist, bigoted opinions. Like good soldiers, they listened and obeyed. So now he is witnessing the fruits of his labor. He is reaping what he sowed.

I don't expect him to do anything of the sort, by the way. He is a sick, psychologically damaged person who will never be anything but what we've seen over many, many years. Given that, the people who gladly bought a ticket on the tRump train need to jump off now. They were lulled into thinking he was the answer to all the troubles this nation faces. The reality is he is our worst nightmare.

6. Just a knee jerk?

Sorta like a Freudian slip?
The hood is off and the lsos is exposed.

7. In other words, "We think it's funny, don't you?"

[underpants]

8. Look at SL the poster

Anyone want to take a guess at why hers was the one re tweeted?

[Frustratedlady]

9. Well, Monica, Trump shouldn't have inadvertently thought it up in the first place.

Just sayin'.

[YCHDT]

10. Not a joke this time?

[muriel_volestrangler]

11. I will bet anything that the tweet was brought to his notice in his morning "Trump propaganda"

that the White House team have to prepare to keep the man-baby happy. They thought they could just show it to him and get a laugh from him, and he'd be nice and compliant for as bit. Then he goes and retweets it, and they have to panic and explain to him that it's grossly offensive to people with normal human emotions.

12. General Kelly seems to be doing a bang up job

13. "inadvertently"? I don't have a Twitter account but doesn't it work like this....

read something, like it, retweet it? You have to do something actively to retweet, don't you?
