When Trump first got elected, virtually EVERY reply was a bot reply, most frequently being that stupid frigging "Liberal Tears Mug," It showed up in almost every tweet. Then, almost overnight, they vanished. That's because Twitter made internal changes.

Trump has several "regular" responses from folks who are brutal, funny, scathing.

There is also the "Trump Regrets" page which gathers and reposts tweets from Trump voters who are going through buyers remorse.

There was actually a story after the algorithm changed about one of these "bot" tweeters, the guy was in his 70s or something in a MAGA cap, and he set up whatever he used to carptet-bomb every tweet Trump posed with that "Liberal Tears" crap. He went bye-bye and so did the rest.

but I applaud them. Enough with this Russian sock-puppet bullshit!

"Trump Regrets" is awesome and a ray of hope in all the darkness. If we can get even 3% of those 63 million voters to stay home out of regret , the Democrats will crush him in the next election.
