Trump can’t stop raging after firefighters endorsed someone else
In his fit of rage, Trump even retweeted an account that changed its name to ‘F–k Donald Trump.’
We can now add the International Association of Fire Fighters to the list of people or groups that have gotten under Trump’s skin.
Trump went on an unhinged Twitter spree Wednesday morning bashing the IAFF — the largest firefighters union in the country — for snubbing him and endorsing 2020 Democratic hopeful Joe Biden for president instead.
“I’ve done more for Firefighters than this dues sucking union will ever do, and I get paid ZERO!” Trump angrily tweeted at 5:56 a.m. Eastern.
That unhinged and egomaniacal tweet was followed up by dozens and dozens of retweets of people claiming to be firefighters or know of firefighters who are voting for Trump in 2020.
By 6:30 a.m., Trump had retweeted 60 anti-Biden tweets.
But retweeting random Twitter users isn’t always a smart move.
One user, who claimed to have a husband in the New York City Fire Department who backs Trump, quickly changed their username to “Fuck Donald Trump” after Trump retweeted their post.
The user’s profile photo also changed multiple times, from a bumper sticker that read “Anyone But Trump 2020,” to multiple unflattering photos of Trump.
How awkward.
Trump already threw an infantile fit on Monday when the IAFF officially endorsed Biden on the day of his presidential campaign launch, claiming that the union wasn’t actually representing the will of its members.
However, the head of the IAFF union told NBC News’ Mike Memoli that the group conducted a poll of its members, and Biden was the “overwhelming” first choice of roughly three-fifths of the groups members.
Ultimately, the IAFF has clearly gotten under Trump’s skin and exposed Trump as being terrified of his 2020 reelection prospects.
If one endorsement like this one can rile Trump up so much, this election is going to be a long, hard slog for Trump.
