Oh, snap!
As Twitchy reported last night, Deadspin discovered that Manti Te’o’s girlfriend, who had allegedly died, did not exist at all. ESPN reportedly sat on the story, even though multiple Twitter accounts indicated it was all a hoax back in December. Donald Trump weighed in today, tweeting congratulations to Deadspin for its scoop. Deadspin’s reaction? “Go f*ck yourself.”

@Deadspin Be fair here. Trump got one of the two authors correct.

@gourmetspud I think you meant 1.000.

Sporty thingies are hard!
Just in case the tweet is deleted (doubtful, because it seems to be a strongly held belief, heh), Twitter users are at the ready.

Tee-hee!
Trump, undeterred, continues rambling about Manti Te’o.
…or mentally troubled (or a con).

Not believable that Manti Te’o was in love for one year with a girl he never met- she then died. He is either very stupid….

(He seems to have tweeted those in reverse order.)

Can it just be new age that Manti Te’o fell in love with a girl he never met or is it a hoax?

IMO— Manti Te’o was involved in a hoax for sympathy to get the Heisman Trophy.

Is there another GFY tweet aimed at Trump coming soon? Stay tuned.
