No, they did not. I thought the same thing but I think the link error was an honest one.
We should have posted the direct link address without the &s=20 at the end. (*but that is not what happened here)
IMO, when you go to post on TD.win it is your responsibility to know exactly what you are posting in order to make sure you are not guiding Pedes to sites that divulge information unnecessarily, which is very easy mistake to make.
If you see any Google links that have "amp" in them, for instance, you should not be using those. If you don't know why, then this post then I am talking to you.
I won't try to give an unsolicited course on link squeezing/tracking here, suffice to say it should be avoided.
I feel like this is an area of possible improvement for the site. I don't blame anyone as I think people just aren't aware but many of us are and could put together some sidebar type of material on posting and formatting that I think would go a long way in helping avoid these errors and increase the overall quality of the content and the ultimate reach of the site.
***While my advice on posting above still stands, I just went back to double-check and still could not reach GEOTUS' Twitter post.

This one is gone, not sure why.
If you go to GEOTUS' Twitter page there is a post that ends with "Are you listening Portland?" at the address below: https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1299391572384059397
I believe these are the same posts but having not been able to resolve the original link address, I cannot say for sure. If I had to surmise; maybe he saw a typo and re-posted?
I'm going to mark this one down as a faithful technical error, but I'm staying frosty.
