This would suggest he's resigning at 7:42 tonight?!?! Where did you see this? Nothing on CNN right now.

I see it here: www.state.gov/biographies/donald-j-trump/, the official US Department of State's website. I would think the time is Greenwich Meantime - which is 8:10pm currently so, this note seems to have just been posted. |

And now the time is different - I think someone is screwing with the website.

I am going to guess it has been hacked. We couldn’t be so lucky.

My husband saw this as well. We are guessing that it is a glitch that will be corrected quickly.
Trump decided yesterday to award Bill Belichick the Medal of Freedom, and I’m sure he won’t leave office before bestowing such a well-deserved honor (heavy on the sarcasm).

I went to the Department of State website and I am not seeing anything. Hackers, I would bet. Too bad

And if you go to the main state website and look at biographies Trump isn't even listed. Someone is throwing it in there. The waybackmachine shows it was created today.

I dunno, it's weird. All of the other biographies I've looked at are all "[Date] - Current" plus a photo and actual biography: Example - www.state.gov/biographies/elliott-abrams/
There isn't one in the nav list for Trump so...I dunno. Kinda strange glitch for a government website but I guess not unheard of.

His bio lives on the White House site not the state department - which makes way more sense. I was trying to see what it was previously as it's obviously incredibly brief here and realized there was no previous page on the state.gov. |

Because when the country is reeling from an attempted coup that resulted in deaths, the appropriate thing for Trump to do is award the Medal of Freedom to a football coach that has been accused of cheating. 😳 (and my apologies to Mr. Belicheck for mixing him up with Kraft and incorrectly maligning him with the massage parlor scandal). |

And way to get all our hopes up!  I actually gasped when I read your headline even though I knew it could not be true. It was nice to dream, even for a very few seconds. |

He is clearly running out of ideas to create a distraction! As much as I hate the Patriots and think they are a bunch of cheater pants this doesn’t even outrage me enough to distract me from the terrorist attack for a second. I would tell him to try harder, but that might just backfire. |

UPDATE: Sources tell
@buzzfeednews
a "disgruntled staffer" is behind the State Department site's change of Trump and Pence's biographies. More TK.
