A slice of #tbt Twitter dated Nov. 10, 2012.

In addition to containing lingo that would be repeated during the 2016 presidential campaign and quickly disparaged by media observers (“many are saying…”), this Nov. 10, 2012 boast also generated at the time intriguing responses from journalists. Piers Morgan joked that Trump was in fact the “2nd best” 140-character writer, while David Carr blasted out a manual retweet of Eric D. Snider’s observation that “No one is saying that.”

Cut to November 2016.
