While the entire world is currently facing the life-threatening COVID-19 pandemic, hoping for a solution before it claims more lives across the globe, President Donald Trump seems to be living on another planet. On April 1, Wednesday, the 73-year-old former businessman attended a press conference where he proudly revealed that he was "number one on Facebook."
Trump recently discovered that he was number one on the popular social media platform, and thought that was pretty nice. Regardless of what exactly it meant, Trump felt it represents something. The president brought this up while answering a question about his tweets that threatened Iran, according to a HollywoodLife report.
While Trump didn't explain exactly how he is number one on Facebook, netizens quickly pointed out that President Barack Obama has a whopping 55 million likes on his official Facebook page, while Trump has less than half of that with 25 million likes. Twitteratis were also quick to react to the viral clip and didn't refrain from showing their anger or expressing their opinions.
Twitter user Jodie Moss (@JodieMoss76) erupted in anger pointing out that being popular on Facebook isn't exactly what a president should be thinking about at the moment. "With Trump, it’s always about Trump," she tweeted and went as far as calling Trump the most self-serving, narcissistic person she has ever witnessed.
Shocked at his comment, another user with Twitter handle @RealtorSullivan said he is a grown man and not a 5-year-old kid to be excited about being number one on Facebook rankings. Moreover, the user deemed Trump's current job performance as "failure." On top of that, the user called him a failure as president, friend, businessman, spouse, and a father.
Trump's announcement about being number one on Facebook joins a slew of recent strange comments from the PLOTUS, including his diss at Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle. After leaving the Kingdom, the former royal couple was reportedly planning to live in Canada permanently, but they moved to the United States.
President Trump clarified that the U.S. will not foot in to pay for the royals' security protection. In his tweet, Trump noted that he is a great friend and admirer of the Queen and the United Kingdom. The senior royals responded with a statement that clarified they do not plan to rely on the U.S. government as far as paying for their security resources are concerned.
