To its credit, CNN chose to let the wave of snark break over the tweet rather than just deleting it (which would have surely made things worse, let's be real). Good sports over there at CNN.

"On the evening Robert Mueller submitted his report to the Justice Department, President Trump was on the tiled patio of Mar-a-Lago, bathed in golden light, with his wife and son Barron, who had reached teenagerhood two days earlier."
It paints quite a picture, right? You can almost see the fading Friday sun's rays rippling across Trump's unusual skin shade of radioactive orange. It's like a scene out of some really messed up Charles Dickens story.
Troll Twitter trotted out its best material for this one. A bunch of people pondered about the literary inspiration behind the tweet. (It's actually a line from the linked story, FWIW.)
