Trump tweet on Obama WH Hanukkah party resurfaces

President Trump’s 2011 tweet claiming former President Barack Obama held the White House Hanukkah party early in order to go on vacation is resurfacing after Trump held the White House Hanukkah party early this year.

Trump hosted the White House Hanukkah party five days before the Jewish holiday begins. He had commented on a similar move by Obama in 2011.

{mosads}“Why was the Hanukah celebration held in the White House two weeks early? @BarackObama wants to vacation in Hawaii in late December. Sad,” Trump tweeted.

Critics quickly used the old Trump tweet to fire back at the president for the move.

Tonight, Trump is hosting the White House Hanukkah party. Hanukkah is next week. In an early holiday miracle, this Trump tweet lasted for six years and came back to burn him. https://t.co/epBcyKD0iO
