How do I copy a tweet to post it without picking up all this code around it so you don't have to

see all that? I end up trying to edit the code out and hope I don’t lose the tweet itself, I.e. the image.

1. Let's look at an example.

I went to Google.com and I did a search on: trump twitter

That gave me the following page:

https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=trump+twitter]

Then I clicked on the words in the first Trump tweet that showed up, and it took me to Trump's twitter page and showed that tweet on the page.

Now, on that first tweet, there is a little down arrow on the top right of the tweet. It gives me the option to "Embed Tweet". So, I left-click on "Embed Tweet" and I get this page:

https://publish.twitter.com/?query=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2FrealDonaldTrump%2Fstatus%2F1228463577335554049&widget=Tweet]

Then I left click on the blue button that says "Copy Code", and that copies the tweet into an invisible buffer. Then I put my cursor below this line and hit CTRL-V to paste the code below:

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Great honor, I think? Mark Zuckerberg recently stated that “Donald J. Trump is Number 1 on Facebook. Number 2 is Prime Minister Modi of India.” Actually, I am going to India in two weeks. Looking forward to it!</p>— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) <a href="

Link to tweet

?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 14, 2020</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

However, that puts in too much code. So, I just copy everything between the quote marks including the quote marks themselves starting with the https, grabbing just that and pasting it below:

"

Link to tweet

"

However, that still gives me too much. So, I just remove everything from the ?ref on, but leaving the quote mark at the end, and I get this:

"

Link to tweet

"

So, I learn that all I really need is just the stuff between the quotes, including the quotes themselves, but not the stuff from the "?ref" to the end.

2. Thank you so. That's what I needed, what parts of code to copy! I appreciate lots.
