Can we just have one day where blue-checks don’t overreact to something President Trump tweets?
Today’s outrage: The president abbreviated Secret Service as “S.S.”:
Our great National Guard Troops who took care of the area around the White House could hardly believe how easy it was. “A walk in the park”, one said. The protesters, agitators, anarchists (ANTIFA), and others, were handled VERY easily by the Guard, D.C. Police, & S.S. GREAT JOB!

And, they’re off:
Oh, one more point. It's USSS. Not SS.
The SS were Nazis. Please don't use that acronym ever again when describing the Secret Service. https://t.co/YWR5g1AJ3Y

They’re going to pretend they don’t know what the president means:

It’s code, they say:
SS is certainly one way to abbreviate Secret Service that definitely isn't coded in any way shape or form. https://t.co/BMthT0Sjsx

And it “isn’t appropriate”:

Every. Day. They. Do. This:
SS easily handled the anti-fascists? https://t.co/mQRvPTLs0P

I know what he means but goodnesd, the abbreviation 'SS' is not a good one to use right about now https://t.co/awoH88EfjW

? The US does not have something called the SS, because the Nazis kinda famously took that name. We have the USSS, or the Secret Service. But I pray America never has an SS. https://t.co/vy2fwAC21Q

Can't say I've seen others commonly refer to @SecretService as "S.S.," but I'm sure you were just watching your character count. https://t.co/YeMeb59pyt

When a lot of protesters are calling you a Nazi, probably best to avoid the acronym SS https://t.co/ipcbZK2FuD
