Donald 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:
