Despite how active President Donald Trump is on Twitter, he rarely smashes that "like" button. But on Friday night, Trump liked his 25th tweet.

The tweet concerned Steve Wynn, a billionaire casino mogul and RNC finance chair, over recent sexual assault allegations. According to the Wall Street Journal, dozens of people have accused Wynn of sexual misconduct, including pressuring employees to have sex with him.

By 10:25 p.m. ET on Friday, the like was gone, but the internet doesn't forget so easily.

But Wynn isn't just some guy to Trump, who also owns hotel property in Las Vegas. In 2016, Trump referred to Wynn as a "great friend." A great friend who also donated $729,217 in entertainment to Trump's inauguration through Wynn Resorts Ltd.

Considering Trump hasn't liked a tweet in over a month, it definitely could have been a mistake. While a like doesn't necessarily equal an endorsement, it's definitely odd Trump would come anywhere near this tweet, consider the multiple sexual misconduct allegations against the president.

And because Trump is the president of the United States with bots watching his every move on Twitter, lots of folks noticed immediately.
