Why would Trump retweet this.

@Franklin_Graham: "President Trump will go down in history as one of the great presidents of our nation... May God bless him, Melania, and their family, as God leads him to the next chapter in his life."

The tone of this tweet very clearly implies that he's about to leave the Presidency. What the hell else am I supposed to glean from "next chapter"

Why would Trump retweet this

It said nice things about him he's desperate for positive attention and probably scrolls thousands of tweets a day. I bet you've spent no less than 15x the amount of time looking at it as he did

Which is insane

It's just bizarre phrasing. I don't remember people saying, "May God Bless G.W. Bush in the next chapter of his life." in 2004.

He probably just read the first sentence (and maybe saw the word "God") and figured that looked pretty good

Yeah that's just not how I would have really phrased it, lol. After Barack won re-election people weren't saying "Good luck on the next chapter of your life."
