Retweet doesn't mean endorsement.

  he didnt just retweet. even if he did, president of the country should be held to higher standards than your average influencer.

  Standard defence after sth retweeted blew up. And it doesn't work like that. Also, it wasn't "just a retweet". He literally wrote that he supported it.

  Who decided that? Would you hold that same standard if a politician you didn’t like did it? I don’t like most politicians, but if Bernie Sanders (someone I do like) blanket retweeted a crypto scam, I would say that that’s bullshit. Unless he was the biggest moron on the planet, he would have to know that a retweet will be read as an endorsement by a large number of people. A public figure, particularly a high-profile elected figure, particularly a figure who is in charge of how laws are enforced, should be held to a high standard. But as other people have pointed out, it actually wasn’t just a retweet.
