It’s the day before Thanksgiving and if I had to guess one thing Donald Trump is thankful for this year, it’s that Twitter increased the tweet length from 140 to 280 characters. The president spent Wednesday morning making the most out of those characters, attacking LaVar Ball once again by taking credit for getting his son, UCLA freshman LiAngelo Ball, out of a Chinese prison sentence for shoplifting and calling the Big Baller entrepreneur a “poor man’s version of Don King, but without the hair.” “Just think,” he added.
The president then continued his tantrum by calling LaVar an “ungrateful fool” and ranting about NFL players kneeling during the national anthem for the umpteenth time. A short time later, Trump switched gears and put on his big boy pants by tweeting, “Will be having meetings and working the phones from the Winter White House in Florida (Mar-a-Lago). Stock Market hit new Record High yesterday – $5.5 trillion gain since E. Many companies coming back to the U.S. Military building up and getting very strong.”

Of course, the “Winter White House” is still definitely not a thing, but instead a way Trump justifies using taxpayer dollars to travel to his own property in Florida. Many were quick to point this out on Twitter, along with a few other jokes and observations.
It's not the "Winter White House"; each visit costs taxpayers millions; and it's using public office to promote his private members-only club that costs $200k to join, which Trump profits from directly. https://t.co/0qOe84lK1j

Is it “It Isn’t The Goddamn ‘Winter White House’” season again already?

First, there is no frakking “Winter White House”. That’s your personal property. #Kleptocracy
Second, the Stock Market is not a barometer for economic health of average Americans.
Third, tell us exactly which companies are coming back.
Fourth, don’t get us nuked.#TrumpResign https://t.co/1z8QwwPc3N— Dr K ☕️ 🇺🇦🇺🇸🌊 (@DocKimResists) November 22, 2017

Narco-a-Lago is NOT the "Winter White House." It's a for profit property in your failing business which is nothing more than a massive money laundering scheme for international crime orgs.#maddow https://t.co/83lTNXaCNY

There is NO SUCH THING as a Winter White House, you diseased orange turkey.
Mar-a-Lagofuckyouself is an overpriced Swamp Shack where you cost taxpayers MILLIONS.
The White House is your temporary residence until Mueller puts you in The Big House.#ThursdayThoughts https://t.co/xlQrMNhTYu
