Thomas Jefferson

So I was president for a while, but much more importantly: I wrote the Declaration of Independence.

@KingPedroI1 This is disgusting

[Thomas Jefferson @TJeffRevolution]

@KingPedroI1 I’ll give you a hint: it doesn’t end well

[Thomas Jefferson @TJeffRevolution]

@KingPedroI1 Countries always need strong leaders, not just in times of crisis

[Thomas Jefferson @TJeffRevolution]

@therealjeanjacq Democracy though?

[Thomas Jefferson @TJeffRevolution]

@therealjeanjacq I’m not entirely sure that’s how that works...

[Thomas Jefferson @TJeffRevolution]

@therealjeanjacq Wow, good job! See everybody? Colored people should just have their own governments!

July 4th 1826 I pass from this world to the next, promptly to be joined by my sometimes-friend @OfishlJohnAdams

[Thomas Jefferson @TJeffRevolution]

I’m gonna sell my book collection to start a library of Congress, what do you guys think?

[Thomas Jefferson @TJeffRevolution]

I realize that people would like me to run for a third term despite my shortcomings during the second, but I’ve decided to take a page from @OfficialGeorgey ‘s book and step down rather that continue holding on to power.

[Thomas Jefferson @TJeffRevolution]

Ok, so that went downhill fast... that embargo I mentioned? Kinda destroyed the economy... it’s been repealed.

[Thomas Jefferson @TJeffRevolution]

So seeing as Britain and France are fighting again (and they both seem to be robbing our ships) I’ve decided to place an embargo on the exportation of American goods

[Thomas Jefferson @TJeffRevolution]

Once again I have won the presidency. 15/17 states voted for me!

On this day, April 17th 1804, another child of mine passed away. Polly will be remembered always.💗

1803 - We just spent 15 million dollars to buy Louisiana from France! It doubled the size of our country and is a huge step towards owning the whole continent.

[Thomas Jefferson @TJeffRevolution]

So I’m thinking about buying Louisiana, but first I’m sending some friends of mine to check it out. Do you guys know Louis and Clark?

[Thomas Jefferson @TJeffRevolution]

I just wanna make it clear that I’m not a king. Some ground rules: Don’t put my face on money, I don’t want big birthday celebrations, and anybody can come see me. Sound good?

[Thomas Jefferson @TJeffRevolution]

“Every difference of opinion is not a difference of principle. We are all Republicans, we are all Federalists.”

[Thomas Jefferson @TJeffRevolution]

As of March 4th 1801, I am president of the United States of America. How about that...

[Thomas Jefferson @TJeffRevolution]

Aaron Burr and I were in a dead tie, until Hamilton pressured the federalists to side with me... perhaps I misjudged him... #somethingtothinkabout

[Thomas Jefferson @TJeffRevolution]

I’ve decided to run for President again! It didn’t work out last time, but I know I can win this one!
