On Sunday morning, Donald Trump tweeted out a Father’s Day message to the nation. But the president’s message wasn’t just a way to celebrate fatherhood; it was also a back-handed slap at Trump’s political enemies.
Here’s what the president wrote:
“Happy Father’s Day to all, including my worst and most vicious critics, of which there are fewer and fewer. This is a FANTASTIC time to be an American! KEEP AMERICA GREAT!”

Over on Facebook, the president posted a much blander Father’s Day message. That one — written on a blue, black, and white plaid background — said simply, “Happy Father’s Day.”
And how is Trump spending this Father’s Day?
So far, reports are that Trump is golfing…with Lindsey Graham. Maybe Lindsey is the only one willing to call Trump DADDY?
According to the White House pool, it appears the president is going to be spending Father's Day golfing with Lindsey Graham.

Twitter had some thoughts:
"Who's your daddy?" https://t.co/m29b0INj0m [3]

This just confirma that we already knew who was Lindsey Graham’s daddy. https://t.co/UzTgy9DJ9K [11]

So at least he’s spending it with someone who calls him Daddy. https://t.co/GPtZhHYjDs [13]

I honestly don’t know whether to feel sorry for Barron or to be happy for him. https://t.co/EwUjN6Lx5R [15]
