President Donald Trump on Wednesday shared a post from a parody account of Vice President Mike Pence giving thanks “for every day Hillary Clinton is not president.”

The post was originally shared by @MikePenceVP, a profile that uses the same photo as one of Pence’s verified accounts but describes itself as a “fan account. My Goal is to expose liberal hypocrisy and Fake News Bias.” The vice president’s official Twitter accounts are @VP and @Mike_Pence.


“I’m thankful for every day Hillary Clinton is not President!” the @MikePenceVP account tweeted on Thanksgiving.

Trump retweeted the post Wednesday morning to his 56 million Twitter followers. The tweet had been retweeted 4,700 times by 10 a.m.
