For more context, the Obama tweet has a time stamp 1:56pm. The orange imposter's is 3:54pm.

It too them 2 hours to change a couple phrases.

Read the two tweets side-by-side

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Kobe was a legend on the court and just getting started in what would have been just as meaningful a second act. To lose Gianna is even more heartbreaking to us as parents. Michelle and I send love and prayers to Vanessa and the entire Bryant family on an unthinkable day.</p>— Barack Obama (@BarackObama) <a href="

Maybe she's envious of the Obama's and watches them closely, tries to emulate their behavior.

I would bet my life upon it. How do I know? There was no mention of his poll numbers or the impeachment. He does not have that kind of self-restraint. There always has to be something about him in every tweet. They must have him doped up and strapped down to the bed.

They’re thinking that Kobe’s death is going to overshadow their Trump defense in the Senate the next 2 days.

We all know he thinks he's god and worships only himself. Another lie to con the fools.

And as if he even asked the Slovenian Sex Worker in the white house what she thought or felt about someone else.

He and/or his staff figured out that he needed something better than his original tweet. They then proceeded to paraphrase everything Obama said.
