title:  Hilarious Twitter Thread Imagines Donald Trump As A Founding Father
text: Donald Trump will likely go down in history (hopefully way down) as the presidential candidate who embraced Twitter as his main campaign tool. While other candidates simply tweet, Trump uses the social media platform as his main source of messaging and branding.Of course, that often gets the candidate in hot water, especially with his habit of retweeting things from white supremacists, but because we know Trump spends so much time on Twitter, it s the perfect format for trolling the presumed GOP presidential nominee, and that s exactly what Twitter users have been doing for the last several days, under the hashtag, #1776Trump, which imagines Trump as a Founding Father (shudder). It s also completely hilarious! Jefferson wrote a stupid Declaration, they should have asked me I have a great brain. I would have started with renegotiating. #1776Trump  Yankeesfan66 (@Rangersfan66) July 6, 2016 No taxation without representation is for losers folks. I just don t pay. Hey, that s the system. What can I do? #1776Trump  Lucille (@Delilah399) July 6, 2016 Total loon Paul Revere raving in the streets about British troops. Get a grip, Paul!  #1776Trump  Josh Windham  (@JoshWindham1) July 6, 2016 There s something going on with King George. Something very, very bad. I mean terrible, folks. We re gonna look into this. #1776Trump  (((tiffany))) (@tiffanyclay) July 6, 2016Where s my indian? There he is! Isn t he great? I m going to do very well with the savage community. #1776Trump  Steve (@sat_m0) July 6, 2016 #1776Trump Perhaps if she wasn t my slave, I d be dating her.  aubrey troop (@aubreyyeliza) July 6, 2016Something makes me think that wouldn t stop Trump. I know slaves; I have the best slaves. They re unbelievable. #1776Trump  Craig Rozniecki (@CraigRozniecki) July 6, 2016 I have the greatest white wig. And it s completely real. Believe me. A lot of people have telegrammed me about it. #1776Trump  Noah Finneburgh (@NoahFinneburgh) July 6, 2016Declaration of Independence was very boring. Should have been written in gold sharpie. Would be classy. Only I could do right. #1776Trump  Noah Finneburgh (@NoahFinneburgh) July 6, 2016  King George won t even say the words Radical Colonist! SAD! We need to hit them hard, fast, and take their tobacco.  #1776Trump  Caleb Synan (@CalebSynan) July 6, 2016#1776Trump We need a total and complete shutdown of Catholics coming into the country.  Alex Rios (@alexrioscomedy) July 6, 2016  They re bringing drugs, they re bringing money, they re rapists. And some slaves, I assume, are really good people.  #1776Trump  (((Discord))) (@DlSCORD) July 6, 2016John Adams is a very short man who came in second. He should be careful what he says about me. Disgraceful. #1776Trump  Noah Finneburgh (@NoahFinneburgh) July 6, 2016 I was at the Boston Tea Party. No broads there. Believe me, it was a disaster. Hardly anyone interesting showed up. #1776Trump  Sharon Houston (@sharon_houston) July 6, 2016One of the reasons this hashtag is going completely nuts is that it is difficult to imagine Trump during the days of the founders, or for that matter, during any other time in history. Trump is a candidate made from TV and promoted by social media. His limited vocabulary is a plus when he has to post in 140 characters or less. His grandiosity and shameless self-promotions are almost expected. We ve seen racist and nationalistic presidential candidates before. We ve seen rich ones too, but we ve never seen one like Donald Trump and hopefully, we ll never see one again.Featured image via Marc Piscotty at Getty Images
