Trump Fires Off 60, Mostly Anti-Biden, Retweets in an Hour

President Donald Trump retweeted more than five dozen messages in an hour Wednesday morning, most seeking to cast doubt on the support of firefighters for Democratic presidential front-runner Joe Biden.

Biden, who announced his candidacy last week, has focused on appealing to the Rust Belt workers who helped Trump win in Pennsylvania and the upper Midwest. The International Association of Firefighters endorsed him on Monday. Several polls on Tuesday showed the former vice president solidifying his lead in a crowded Democratic 2020 field.

“I’ve done more for Firefighters than this dues sucking union will ever do, and I get paid ZERO!” Trump said in one posting to his nearly 60 million followers on the social media platform.

Along with that message, Trump retweeted Fox News personality Dan Bongino, along with people who said they were firefighters or their family members about a divide that exists between union leaders and members. Another person who identified themselves as a firefighter said they plan to vote for the incumbent.

Uh huh. Sure. Yep

It would be interesting to see some follow upon that -- I have absolutely no idea how that would be done or if it even could, but it sure would be interesting.
