Long before descending Trump Tower’s golden escalator in June of last year, Donald Trump was a prolific twitterer.
The GOP nominee for president joined Twitter in March 2009, turning his account into one of the centerpieces of his campaign.
TheWrap scoured his Tweets to see what was he like before he ran for president.
These are among Trump’s meanest, craziest and ickiest tweets we could find.
Trump’s first tweet was, interestingly enough, pretty innocuous, plugging an upcoming appearance on “Late Night” with then-host David Letterman.
Be sure to tune in and watch Donald Trump on Late Night with David Letterman as he presents the Top Ten List tonight!

But that tone didn’t last long. He had this to say about Arianna Huffington in 2012:

Trump also had some really important advice for “Twilight” star Robert Pattinson.
Everyone knows I am right that Robert Pattinson should dump Kristen Stewart. In a couple of years, he will thank me. Be smart, Robert.

Argued rape is just what happens when you mix men and women in the military …
26,000 unreported sexual assults in the military-only 238 convictions. What did these geniuses expect when they put men & women together?

How amazing, the State Health Director who verified copies of Obama’s “birth certificate” died in plane crash today. All others lived

Which, of course, cumulatively qualified him for this:
I am officially running for President of the United States. #MakeAmericaGreatAgain https://t.co/Ct0lNu7kz0
