In less than 24 hours, the tweet was liked over 27,000 times and retweeted over 6,800. This isn’t the first time a @FiIibuster tweet has gone viral though. It turns out the Beverly Hills-based teen has experienced a taste of the Twitter limelight before.

Ah, America. A land 16-year-old boys can go from trolling a basketball star’s wife to getting a Trump retweet in a matter of months. To all the young trolls out there watching, never doubt that you are inflammatory, repulsive, and could one day earn your own Trump RT.
