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
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 theres 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!

(4,436 posts)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, its somebody else deciding that Trump makes them vomit.

(37,648 posts)Twitter started actively seeking & deleting the accounts of bots/trolls. Fake accounts. Thousands of them. Some were Trump followers. LOL.

(19,201 posts)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.

(19,201 posts)Tweeting outrageous garbage and watching how many people respond, like how many people 'friend' someone on Facebook. Adolescent dumbfuckery.
