A laptop freshly prepared for tweeting for Trump.Joe Raedle—Getty Images by [Sarah Miller](https://time.com/author/sarah-miller/) ## Sarah Miller Jul 13, 2016 4:21 PM UTC After Bernie Sanders [endorsed Hillary Clinton](http://time.com/4403264/bernie-sanders-hillary-clinton-endorsement-full-transcript/) for president, his campaign’s social media managers found themselves looking for meaningful work. As it happened, [one man was still running for president](http://time.com/trump-clinton-mismatch/). After weeks of being implored to [bolster his tiny staff](http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/30/us/politics/donald-trumps-campaign-manager-corey-lewandowski-staff-size-concerns.html) and consider [changing his tone](http://www.iowapoliticsnow.com/news/national/government-and-politics/trump-says-he-ll-tone-down-his-social-media-use/article%5F283783c6-d5a8-11e5-b574-b3671954dbd7.html), that man relented, and the Bernie staffers began tweeting a new revolution. --- **@realDonaldTrump:** I would never use the Star of David to signal white supremacists but if I did it would be to alert them to the plight of the Jewish people. --- **@realDonaldTrump:** Incrementalism does not serve the working people in this country. We must all start calling Elizabeth Warren Pocahontas today. --- **@realDonaldTrump:** Fracking is threatening our water supply—which is why when I am president all water supplies will have guns. --- **@realDonaldTrump:** To blame an entire nation for one’s person’s crime is nothing less than bigotry and I will take nothing less. --- **@realDonaldTrump:** All working people conducting polls favorable to me deserve healthcare. Ha! But if anyone did=them. --- **@realDonaldTrump:** Join me in my revolution in which I know the facts and truth and everyone who disagrees is a loser who is also fired. --- **@realDonaldTrump:** America has way too many homeless kids who could be working in casinos or yelling at Puerto Ricans who need to get jobs, pronto. --- **@realDonaldTrump:** This isn’t about me. This is about us. But only after it’s about me first. --- **@realDonaldTrump:** It is wrong when we do not treat undocumented workers with the same dignity and respect afforded all Americans but who cares. --- **@realDonaldTrump:** We cannot succumb to bigotry in the face of these attacks because succumb is a word for Washington idiots. --- **@realDonaldTrump:** Today the 20 wealthiest people own more wealth than the bottom 150 million. When I’m president, everyone will be one of those people. --- **@realDonaldTrump:** In many inner cities, kids now stand a greater chance of ending up in jail than ending up with a college degree. Losers! --- **@realDonaldTrump:** We should be outraged at how many people in this country go to bed hungry every night, but they should be more outraged at themselves for not having jobs. --- **@realDonaldTrump:** It is wrong that women are paid less than men for doing the same work, especially if they are hot. --- **@realDonaldTrump:** This movement is sending a message to the billionaire class: our delusional worship of you will never end. --- **@realDonaldTrump:** It’s embarrassing that so many leaders don’t recognize that climate change is a problem. Luckily I can’t feel embarrassment. --- **@realDonaldTrump:** Change happens from the bottom up. That’s why I always pay attention to women’s bottoms. --- **@realDonaldTrump:** No American is free until all Americans are free to not see what is right before their own eyes. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"OpinionNewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4403558/sanders-trump-twitter/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4403558/sanders-trump-twitter/"},"headline":"If Bernie Sanders' Staff Took Over Trump's Twitter Feed...","datePublished":"2016-07-13T16:21:56.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T23:12:37.930Z","description":"After the Senator endorsed Hillary Clinton for president, his 'staff' went looking for work and found it in Donald Trump's campaign","url":"https://time.com/4403558/sanders-trump-twitter/","keywords":["satire","Humor"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltab2f1c5688330847/69889ba62dce01df059e9d1b/gettyimages-509062254.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Sarah Miller","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/sarah-miller/"}],"articleSection":"Ideas","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltab2f1c5688330847/69889ba62dce01df059e9d1b/gettyimages-509062254.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Eric Trump Makes Phone Calls With Volunteers At Trump NH Campaign Office","caption":"Eric Trump Makes Phone Calls With Volunteers At Trump NH Campaign Office","creditText":"Joe Raedle—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/ideas/","name":"Ideas"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/satire/","name":"satire"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4403558/sanders-trump-twitter/","name":"If Bernie Sanders' Staff Took Over Trump's Twitter Feed..."}}]}] ```
