SEPTEMBER 4, 2020

(Reuters) - After an outcry from U.S. lawmakers, President Donald Trump on Friday said his administration would not be shutting down the Stars and Stripes military newspaper as announced by the Pentagon earlier this year.

"The United States of America will NOT be cutting funding to @starsandstripes magazine under my watch," Trump, who is running for re-election in November, said on Twitter.

"It will continue to be a wonderful source of information to our Great Military!" he added.

The independent military newspaper had been expected to stop publishing at the end of September after the Pentagon announced in February that it would be cutting its funding.

Trump's tweet comes a day after the Atlantic reported that he had referred to Marines buried in an American cemetery near Paris as "losers" and declined to visit in 2018 because of concern the rain that day would mess up his hair.

Every tweet sounds more and more like a North Korea propaganda poster.

Because when things change tomorrow you'll know when things went down. I kinda appreciate the date of origin of noteworthy world events.

But you can literally see the date on the thread. And it's more accurate than someone simply posting the date in the title, because that could be fake.
