I’m a big fan of sarcasm and snark, but only when it’s likely to be recognized as sarcasm and snark.
ETA - Looking at the tweet threads, it’s clear that people are more confused than amused.
i’m just a big fan of this either way. because now it’s going to be SUPER widely known what the experts on government ethics advised him to do. there’s not going to be any “OGE told us this was an acceptable way to do it,” “no one told me i should totally divest,” etc.
Sounds like an outgoing bureaucrat having their “take this job and shove it!” moment to me!
we told your counsel we’d sing your praises if you divested, we meant it.
I think it’s grand: it speaks to him in language he can understand.
And I assume that they are safe over there from WH meddling?
Gonna be the smart move for any dealing with Pesident Conman. State your position publically before he gets in front of you with his lies about what said to him.

I agree, but Trump has so far shown that sarcasm and irony are well beyond his mental capabilities. I don’t even think he knows the meaning of those words.
He never thought he’d actually have to divest since he thought he’d never actually win the presidency in a million years. The big joke is he underestimated the capacity of a minority of the electorate distributed just right in the right states to fall for Nigerian prince and grifter scams.
Let us assume he “divests” to his adult children. Can they still play a role in the government?
Next big step Pence resigns and Trump names Biden to replace him based on his experience, then Trump resigns due to the heart condition he will have soon from the stress of the job. Trump moves to Alabama to start a cult on a farm with Kellyanne and Reince.
Exactly, and now you just know that there is no chance he will be able to leave well enough alone until his press conference in two weeks.
And if sarcasm and irony are lost on Pepe, just imagine how lost his herd of mouth frothers will be.
Someone with few f*cks to give set this in motion. How long until they are purged by the vindictive one?
Heh. Somebody typed this between bites of their retirement party cake.
OGE is going to be very disappointed with Trump’s “ethics”.
I would say that the person or persons who tweeted those messages does not expect to remain in government service after January 20th.
You have a very, very fertile imagination.
Can’t tell if this (like many) is real or phony. Need indicator.
OGE will keep it up. They are still in control on Dec 15. They can go after the Loser President for his Betrayal of the Trust of his voters.
