President Donald Trump seldom “likes” other account’s tweets on Twitter, so it becomes newsworthy when he does.

Particularly when he “likes” this Wall Street Journal report on the sexual misconduct allegations made against his “great friend” Steve Wynn, the billionaire Las Vegas casino owner and RNC finance chair who dozens of former employees have accused of sexual harassment and abuse.

As many people noted, it was only Trump’s 25th “like” on the social media platform.
