Pres. Donald Trump went on a Twitter spree in an attempt to show that he has support from firefighters after former Vice President Joe Biden netted an endorsement from one of the nation's largest firefighter unions.
President Donald Trump went on a Twitter spree Wednesday morning in attempt to show that he has support from firefighters after former Vice President Joe Biden, the newest 2020 Democratic presidential candidate, netted an endorsement from one of the nation's largest firefighter unions last week.
But it was unclear if each response from the nearly 60 strangers that were retweeted to Trump's 59.9 million followers were legitimate accounts or not -- a continuous question as another presidential election nears and the magnitude of social media disinformation grows.
"Even if they are not disinformation, even if each of these is an individual person, a lot of them are still really questionable as to why the president would elevate their perspective," Linvill said."It's concerning to me that the president of the United States would retweet someone without having any knowledge of who they are because like it or not, a retweet can be perceived as an endorsement.
"I understand the president has been tweeting about me. Wonder what the hell that is about," Biden said. A supporter in the crowd yelled that it was because Trump"doesn't have anything else to do," prompting laughter from Biden. The IAFF chose not to endorse a candidate for president in 2016 but endorsed former President Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012. A a union survey in 2016 showed support for Trump from IAFF union members.
