We have a petty, vindictive mad man in the White House. His ego is so fragile, he became directly involved in the hunt for a rogue tweeter:
Newly inaugurated President Donald Trump was "directly involved" in the search for the person who, using the official National Park Service account, retweeted side-by-side comparisons of the crowds at Trump's Jan. 20 inauguration ceremony and former President Barack Obama's 2009 ceremony, CBS News has confirmed.
The retweet was deleted soon after it was posted and the Twitter accounts of the National Park Service and other U.S. Interior Department agencies were briefly shut down. White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer told CBS News two days later in an email that the White House neither demanded the retweet be taken down, nor ordered the Interior Department accounts to be suspended.
The popular vote loser and host of the embarrassingly small inauguration crowd must’ve been raging about the comparison photos:
"Obviously, this has become a very sensitive issue, especially since the President has gotten directly involved and contacted Acting Director Mike Reynolds concerned about one of the images that was retweeted," wrote Tim Cash, Chief of Digital Strategy at the National Park Service in a Jan. 21 email to Shaun Cavanaugh, the agency's Chief Information Security Officer.
For the record, it was puny compared to Obama’s inauguration:
Metro ridership showed 193,000 rides taken by 11 a.m. on the day of Trump's inauguration, compared to 513,000 in 2009 for Obama's first inauguration, and 317,000 for his second swearing-in.
