Donald Trump shared a “special” message as POTUS, in reference to the event of solar eclipse.

Early on Thursday morning, Trump retweeted an image showing him slowly eclipsing an image of former president Barrack Obama, with the caption, “The best eclipse ever.”

The original tweet was made by Youtuber, Jerry Travone – who boasts of himself as an avid Trump supporter and a fighter against liberalism.

Trump shared the image shortly after criticizing fellow Republican leaders who did not follow his advice to tie debt ceiling legislation to a veterans affairs bill.

“I requested that Mitch M & Paul R tie the Debt Ceiling legislation into the popular V.A. Bill (which just passed) for easy approval. They didn’t do it so now we have a big deal with Dems holding them up (as usual) on Debt Ceiling approval. Could have been so easy-now a mess!” he wrote in two tweets.

Twitter obviously, couldn’t handle the retweet and termed it ‘petty’ on part of a president and also ‘unoriginal’ since for the past few days an image showing an opposite eclipse of Obama’s image coming over Trump’s – went viral on social media, with the caption – “The eclipse we all want to see.”

Here are some of the responses to Trump’s post:
