May 4, 2009 at 2:54 pm
Be sure to tune in and watch Donald Trump on Late Night with David Letterman as he presents the Top Ten List tonight!
Trump makes his first tweet on Twitter. He does not get political on twitter until 2011.
Trump also had a You Tube Channel (deleted) that was titled “From The Desk Of Donald Trump”. >https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjSt4cp2QAY&list=PLGjjNZOf7zBF-R-fdRLkSs40NwwgKpJnO

Former Bush Aide, John P. Wheeler III, who got the Vietnam Veterans Memorial created is found dead in the Cherry Island Landfill in Wilmington, Delaware. His death is ruled homicide. It remains unsolved. https://nypost.com/2011/01/03/former-bush-aide-found-dead-in-delaware-landfill/
Wheeler was seen on CCTV on December 28, 2010, exiting an Amtrak train,[8] and later, on the afternoon of December 30, 2010, at 10th and Orange streets in Wilmington, Delaware.[9] On >December 31, his body was seen by a landfill worker as it fell onto a trash heap in the Cherry Island Landfill.[10] Police ruled his death a homicide and claimed that "all the stops made Friday (December 31) by the garbage truck before it arrived at the landfill involved large commercial disposal bins in Newark (Delaware), several miles from Wheeler's home." >According to The Washington Post, Wheeler was sighted on December 29 at the New Castle County courthouse parking garage, disoriented and wearing only one shoe, as the other was ripped.[12] While he attempted to gain access to the parking garage on foot, Wheeler claimed that he wanted to warm up before paying a parking fee. (Police later determined that his car was actually in a different parking garage at the train station.) Wheeler explained to the parking garage attendant that his briefcase had been stolen and assured her he was not intoxicated. It is also claimed that, on December 29, Wheeler asked a pharmacist in New Castle for a ride to Wilmington and "looked upset." The pharmacist offered to call a cab for Wheeler, at which point Wheeler left the store.[13]
On December 30, Wheeler was sighted wandering about various office buildings, including Mitre and DuPont locations, where he refused offers of assistance from several individuals.[13] On January 28, 2011, the Delaware state medical examiner's office reported Wheeler's cause of death as assault and "blunt force trauma" without elaboration.

My appearance on The View... http://bit.ly/fk3utP and http://bit.ly/f5rTko
On the View, Trump argued with Whoopi Goldberg about Obama’s birth certificate:

Trump continues pushing about Obama’s Birth Certificate:
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/donald-trump-keeps-pushing-birther-claims/
On April 27th, 2011 Obama releases his Long Form Birth Certificate:
https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/blog/2011/04/27/president-obamas-long-form-birth-certificate
He hinted at running the day before the infamous White House Correspondents Speech:
https://nypost.com/2011/04/29/trump-calls-leaders-stupid-in-profanity-filled-vegas-speech-video/
“Our leaders are stupid, they are stupid people,” he said. “It’s just very, very sad.”
The setting was fitting for the casino mogul whose moniker is draped across the gold-tinged Trump International Hotel & Tower just off the Las Vegas Strip. An open bar greeted more than 1,000 people, waiters passed hors d’oeuvres and a Trump impersonator entertained the crowd.
At one point, a woman in the lavish reception at the Treasure Island casino on the Las Vegas Strip yelled out that Trump should run for president.
“I think I am going to make you very happy,” the developer said.
But he later said: “There is a really good chance that I won’t win because of one of these blood-sucking politicians.“
This was the White House Correspondents Dinner where Obama and Seth Meyers are said to have “roasted” Trump:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8TwRmX6zs4
Many on the Left credit it with why Trump decided to pursue the presidency.
Obama on April 30, 2011, mocked Trump’s rumored White House run (which he’d been touting for more than 30 years) and ripped Trump’s pushing of the racist birther conspiracy theory with a crack about releasing his official birth video — complete with a clip from Disney’s “The Lion King.” >“Donald Trump has been saying he will run for president as a Republican, which is surprising since I just assumed he was running as a joke,” he cracked as one zinger, later adding, “Donald Trump owns the Miss USA pageant, which is great for Republicans because it will streamline their search for a vice president.”
Trump has insisted that wasn’t the case.
Trump, however, has denied the claim.
“The president was making jokes about me,” he told The Washington Post. “I was having a great time. I was so honored. I was actually so honored. And honestly, he delivered them well.”
The next day after the infamous Seth Meyer’s White House Correspondence Dinner, Osama Bin Laden is reported KILLED On May 1, 2011 (MAY DAY). https://nypost.com/2011/05/02/osama-bin-laden-killed/#6 May Day has a lot of significance and history to it: https://www.conspiracyarchive.com/2014/05/16/may-day-and-the-posthumous-influence-of-the-illuminati/
It is said the Illuminati organization was born on May 1st. May 1st is also a big day for Communism. What a coincidence that was Osama’s chosen death date.
Trump grew more outspoken politically:
The most significant departure from the norm was on May 16, 2011, 17 days after President Obama and Seth Meyers’ infamous roasting of Trump at the 2011 White House Correspondents’ Dinner, which many suspect of having played a role in Trump’s decision to pursue the presidency.
Trump declined to run for the presidency for 2012 in his May 16, 2011 tweet.
This has been a very difficult decision regarding the Presidential run and I want to thank all my twitter fans for your fantastic support.

My thoughts on Anthony Weiner in today's #trumpvlog... http://bit.ly/j0Lv8V Trump finally went political on twitter on this date:
When did Trump and his Twitter feed first align and become the dynamic duo we now know so well? It was Wednesday, July 6, 2011, at 10:38 AM.
Congress is back.TIME TO CUT, CAP AND BALANCE.There is no revenue problem.The Debt Limit cannot be raised until Obama spending is contained.
After this Trump’s tweets became very political.
The difference before and after is stark. A majority of Trump’s tweets over the following few months are overtly political, criticizing then President Obama — who went virtually unmentioned on his feed until this day — criticizing Republicans, and particularly ripping into John Boehner, then the Republican Speaker of the House. Here we also finally see those frantic typos we’ve become so accustomed to, something that would rarely happen when Trump’s marketing braintrust was apparently calling the shots.
July 6th is also the date the Obama became the first ever "twitter" president:
On the exact day in question, July 6, 2011, at 2 PM EST, the Obama administration held the world’s first ever “presidential Twitter Town Hall.”
And look again it’s that “THe” typo that he would frequently make. He never made the typo on other “the” just the one at the beginning. It was never a “tHE” or a “thE” mistake. It was always “THe”.
Jul 7th 2011 - 12:18:44 PM EST
THe Art of the Deal--"The best thing you can do is deal from strength, and leverage is the biggest strength you have." CUT, CAP and BALANCE.
Interesting Trump’s record on typos given Q would later teach that this:
Were Trump’s frequent typos just him being clumsy or was he coordinating through twitter even back then?
Q posts said it was planned long ago. Looking at several of those 2011 Trump tweets I see he kept making certain typos over and over like “THe”. I wonder if Trump was already sending comms even back then through twitter.
I am not upset. I just do not think you understand WHERE my link is actually leading; its to the SAME site you are linking to, but to it's older archived page. I am showing people what it looked like, and the info that was up, in it's earlier years.
It's not working for me. It just takes to a blank page. I tried it on other browsers and different devices and it leads me to nowhere. I'm giving you the link to a site that works for me. It's not really a big deal.
I am also trying to make sure people have a link to the site.
