'Happy President's Day': Twitter taunts Trump with viral #TrumpColluded hashtag, 'reflective' memes
"How long before he completely loses it and confesses?" one Twitter user asked.
After Donald Trump's torrent of fiery tweets over the weekend about the ongoing Russian investigation, the president once again took to Twitter to wish people a happy and "reflective" President's Day.
"Have a great, but very reflective, President's Day!" the commander-in-chief tweeted on Monday morning, 19 February, commemorating the federal holiday. A few hours later, he followed up with a jab at his predecessor Barack Obama and his dealing with Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential elections.
"Obama was President up to, and beyond, the 2016 Election. So why didn't he do something about Russian meddling?" Trump tweeted.
Social media users, however, responded with a cacophony of "reflective" memes, comments and thoughts on President's Day, taunting Trump over his first year in office.
While many shared photos of previous presidents and said they wished Hillary Clinton was president instead, others said they missed "having a real president" in the Oval Office. Some shared photos of former president Obama, saying, "Man, do I miss this guy."
Many Twitter users also chose to focus on special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 elections and alleged collusion between Moscow and Trump's team with the viral hashtag #TrumpColluded.
By the end of the day, hundreds of thousands of users had shared the hashtag.
"It's a pretty bad #PresidentsDay for POTUS when historians & scholars rank him dead last among all presidents, as in the worst of all time AND #TrumpColluded is trending on his fav social media. Sad!" columnist Aisha Sultan tweeted.
"So Trump spent #PresidentsDay trolling and attempting to cyberbully my pal, Empress @Oprah. Meanwhile, #TrumpColluded is trending. His entire presidency feels like one drawn-out skit," Elgin Charles wrote.
Have a great, but very reflective, President’s Day!

We currently have no President of the United States. Guess that's something to be very reflective about. #PresidentsDay2018

This #PresidentsDay, let's take a moment to remember when we had a president who was thoughtful, caring, intelligent, well spoken, & wanted to actually *do* the job.

And who *didn't* collude with a hostile foreign power to get the job. #TrumpColluded pic.twitter.com/cJv1nYBNkr

On #PresidentsDay, I think about how I’ve known and dealt w/ the last three US Presidents. I also know the present occupant of the White House, he’s not in any of their classes of ability or thought! pic.twitter.com/XjX6XJKUGZ

Remember when #PresidentsDay was worth celebrating because we had an actual leader and not a baby running our country? #PresidentsDay2018 pic.twitter.com/yBjPo9Xzxr

lol @ #trumpcolluded being #1 on #PresidentsDay. What a fitting gift for @realDonaldTrump!
— Wagatwe Wanjuki (@wagatwe) February 20, 2018
On this Presidents Day we think of men like James Buchanan, Warren Harding and Richard Nixon and think how low the bar was set to be the worst president. And then we think how far beneath it Donald Trump has gotten in only a year. He is the worst of the worst. It's not close.

“Happy Presidents’ Day.â€

Trump supporter: Um I think you mean Merry Christmas.
So in short: Yes, #TrumpColluded with Russia to steal an election and is the puppet in place for Putin to live his dream of dismantling American democracy, its institutions and unleashing chaos and division.

If #Trump sees #TrumpColluded at the top of U.S. trends every time he logs on to tweet, how long before he completely loses it and confesses?
