#AskTrump backfires: "Don't do a Twitter Q&A if you are a pri*ck."

[font size=5]Donald Trump’s “#AskTrump” Q&A Backfires On Twitter — SEE TWEETS![/font]

.... On Monday morning, the presidential candidate tweeted, “#AskTrump Send me your questions to answer live from @TwitterNYC later this afternoon.” It didn’t take long for “AskTrump” to become the top trending topic. But that’s not because of campaign supporters submitting questions.

Instead, most people seem to be using “#AskTrump” to call the Republican hopeful out on his controversial statements. “If you respect women why do you hate Hispanic women?” asked one Twitter user. Another questioned, “If you’re against raising the min wage in the US, will you at least raise the wage for the Chinese children who make your ties?” One person, referring to a conspiracy theory involving Hillary Clinton, even asked, “How much are you being paid to help Hillary get elected?”

“I’m curious, what does being a racist piece of trash feel like?” wrote a different individual. Another wondered, “Who proposed this terrible idea to you and may I kiss them?” Similarly, one Twitter user stated, “People never learn from history. Don’t try invade Russia in the winter. Don’t do a twitter Q&A if you are a pri*ck.” ....

opens up a channel which says "Tell us what you think".

Because people actually tell them what they think.

"Why are you dodging this? They couldn't hit an elephant at this distance." A couple beats later they missed the elephant, but got the general.

That will show him. Then he'll get in his million dollar penthouse in the building he owns and plan another trip on his 757 before he cries himself to sleep.

This is what happens when parents tell their children that their opinions matter, most don't. Now social media gives them an outlet. Yay technology!
