I checked this out a little more carefully, which I should have done before posting in the first place. It appears the Inaugural Tweet is indeed the first tweet for that account. I suspect that the hashtag "myfirsttweet" is automatic from Twitter when setting up an account. You can disregard this entire post! I'll try to do my research BEFORE posting the next time I wonder why something is happening, rather than WHILE posting. That's how rumors get started. FAKE NEWS!
This is an actual Trump Twitter Tweet. Or more accurately, one that Donald reTweeted on his page:
Counting down the days until the swearing in of @realDonaldTrump & @mike_pence. Check in here for the latest updates. #myfirstTweet #MAGA— Trump Inauguration (@TrumpInaugural) December 8, 2016
Now check out the embedded link to #myfirstTweet. Why is that there? Here's where it goes:
Scrolling down to the fifth Tweet (as of 12/11/16, 6am Central) on the page, this is what I saw: (Since I first clicked a few minutes ago, there are 37 new Tweets.)
And what, you might ask, is the fourth Tweet that sits just above that one? It's this:
Scroll through any of it. Here's an interesting sample:
A few more:
Yes, that second one is Russian language. Uh-oh.
Why is this hashtag linked in Trump's Tweet? When I first saw it, it was on someone's account who had posted something poking fun at Trump. I didn't click on it at the time because I thought it was their way of saying he's a big baby. But, today, it caught my eye on the Trump Tweet about the inauguration and I wondered why he'd linked it, so I clicked. I'm not certain since I don't have one, but I think it's a Twitter page set up for people who are just creating their account to get them started.
Perhaps someone should be checking on whoever is in charge of the @TrumpInaugural Twitter account.
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
UPDATE:
In the time it has taken me to create this post, the Tweet about Trump's "landslide victory" by @NICHONASRI has moved up on the #myfirsttweet page to the third spot, and the one from the lovely young Asian girl is several posts below it. I don't know how Twitter works. Mysteriously, like Facebook, I guess.
