Donald Trump is known for expressing his thoughts through tweeting. In fact, everything that the POTUS puts out on Twitter never goes unnoticed. So, it can be rightly said, Twiterrati can like him or hate him but never ignore him. Thus, when the US President accidentally tweeted out a single word on Saturday (May 13), people immediately took notice. It seems to have been a mistake as Trump tweeted the word ‘WE’, and them immediately deleted it.
Of course, the time in between was all it took for people to take a picture and then let the tweet take on a character of it own, what with meme-makers having found their fodder for the day
Netizens frantically tried to decode what exactly Trump had meant to say and the results were hilarious. Almost instant photoshopped versions of the tweet starting doing rounds on the micro-blogging site to even one saying, “We are doomed”. Many also applauded the president and said that this was probably his best tweet ever, “Pure awesomeness. Minimalist, yet inclusive. The most unifying thing Trump has tweeted yet!”
While most used the tweet as a ‘fill-in-the-blank’ exercise, few others tried to analyse why he deleted the tweet. “Trump quickly deleted his tweet because obviously he meant ‘I’,” one user ruled.

Eventually, Trump returned to Twitter and tweeted some promo for a Saturday night interview on Fox News, but did not mention anything about the accidental tweet. People started replying to the promo with even funnier gifs ans memes.
