Jeezus. Aside from grifting, this is what Twitler really focuses on. It DEFINES him...

‘Like a rocket’: Trump revels in his love-hate relationship with Twitter

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/like-a-rocket-trump-revels-in-his-love-hate-relationship-with-twitter/2019/07/11/421391a4-a41c-11e9-bd56-eac6bb02d01d_story.html

But, he continued with relish, “If I put it out on social media, it’s like an explosion. Fox, CNN, crazy MSNBC.”

Trump also talked about his almost childlike glee in sending out a tweet and watching the number of people who follow on Twitter methodically tick up.

“A good tweet, it goes up,” the president said.

Adopting the tone of an auctioneer, Trump began rattling through how his follower count would creep northward, often after an incendiary missive. “It used to go up, it would say 7,000, 7,008-7,000, 7,017, 7,024, 7,032, 7,044, right?” he said, to laughter. “Now it goes 7,000, 7,008, 6,998. Then they go 7,009, 6,074. I say, ‘What is going on? It never did that before.’ ”


The President of the United States is addicted. To himself. King Narcissist.

The President. Of the United States.

Spending who knows how much time each day just tweeting and watching likes. Like a cat following a laser light

I guess it means there’s less time for him to really be screwing things up but his grifter kids and white supremacist staff are doing a good enough job at that!

I heard that somewhere else. If he doesn't get Twitter-love, he gets very upset and I like that!

I used to watch what he tweeted just for the sake of watching.

It disgusted me so much, I “unfollowed” him because he makes me vomit.

Every time the number goes down, it’s somebody else deciding that Trump makes them vomit.

Twitter started actively seeking & deleting the accounts of bots/trolls. Fake accounts. Thousands of them. Some were Trump followers. LOL.

The next time I logged on there were 70 or so people who wanted to 'friend' me. I only knew about three of those people. I immediately deactivated my account and haven't signed back on since. It just seemed like a stupid way to communicate with people. I'll call or text them. To hell with Facebook. I've never 'tweeted'. Social media just seems so......... unsocial.

Tweeting outrageous garbage and watching how many people respond, like how many people 'friend' someone on Facebook. Adolescent dumbfuckery.
