Trump: ‘Help Charlie Gard Per Pope Francis’ – Trump’s Twitter Turns To #CharlieGard Amid WWE Video Controversy


Two days after President Donald Trump was photographed in the bathroom by an Instagram user, and one day following Trump’s explosive tweet showing a video of Trump slamming a CNN logo-imposed man to the ground, as reported by the Inquisitr, Trump has turned to Twitter to bring attention to the plight of Charlie Gard.

As seen in the following tweet from President Trump’s account, the POTUS wondered aloud if Gard could be helped via “friends in the U.K.” and per the pleas of Pope Francis, who Trump met earlier this year and received ribbing from when the pope asked Melania what she feeds her husband before blessing Melania’s rosary.

Charlie’s mitochondrial disease became the center of a dispute when Gard’s parents desired to take their baby Charlie to the United States to try a trial-basis therapy. However, the couple lost their fight when it was deemed that the experimental treatment would not help. After losing their healthcare battle for their baby son, Connie and Chris released a video that said Charlie is expected to die Friday.
