(14,961 posts)600 of them follow him. No one that
follows me, that supports Trump. I think they still follow, so they don't miss his any of his outrageous tweets. But the way I see it, if it's crazy enough it, will be sub tweeted a ton.

(61,695 posts)follow "UnFollow Trump." It is a retweeting of everything mf45 says without you following him.

(6,240 posts)I don't understand why Dems would want to follow his twits (I know, I know, it's tweets) anyway. Like, why would I want to read something that I know will just make me angry?
BTW, I'm not on Twitter. If I want to get angry, I just drive around until some asshole cuts me off or something.

(53,410 posts)Trump would easily stab people in the back if it served him. Thus people need to watch their backs. Some famous person said to keep your enemies closer. Its good advice.

(6,240 posts)most of us common folk only have the power to read them and the follow-up comments. We can't act on them on a day-to-day basis. And besides, we already know how unhinged most of his twits are (bad pun intended).
On the other hand, his twits and the follow-ups are making a heckuva lot of money for Twitter. So maybe it's all a symbiotic relationship.

(7,432 posts)By now, it's clear that he has nothing positive to say about anyone or anything. So why listen? Except for those who love to hate, he as nothing to say and he won't change.

(2,410 posts)If the ass says anything worth reading , the media will slavishly reproduce it.
I'm from NY originally, so I grew sick of this guy in the 80's and 90's!

(43,182 posts)I read his nonsense while depriving him of follower status.
SeattleVet
(5,477 posts)I look at his 'screed feed' every morning and again later in the day to see what Fox news has planted in his miniscule brain to be tweeting about so I can be better prepared for the 'crazy of the day'. I always check it via the web (not an app) and use a browser in incognito mode.

(6,917 posts)And watch your enemies closer. Not following Trump on Twitter is just dumb, if the objective is to deprive him of you getting his tweets. He doesnt care.

(1,072 posts)exactly the correct thing to do....hope this will spur others......!
New Breed Leader
(624 posts)Because even if you unfollow him, when someone else RTs him, you can still see what he said. Blocking him ensures that you don't see his tweets at all, even if someone RTs him.

(507 posts)Couldn't stand that MF'r when he was such an azz on that stupid 'reality' show of his. Someone 'convinced' me I should watch, for the entertainment of it all. I've despised 'reality' television since it practically began. 20 seconds of that crap, and I just turned off the television, chastising myself for wasting the electricity.
If only the rest of the world would unfollow Hairplug Himmler...he only tweets because of all of the retweets, and the fact that it gets him even more 'ratings'...
New Breed Leader
(624 posts)I stopped watching his show then.
NewJeffCT
(56,828 posts)I think it's a bot account that just take what he tweets and tweets it as their own tweet. Usually pretty quickly afterwards.
Then, if you feel the need to respond, you can go directly to Donny's account and respond to the original tweet.
New Breed Leader
(624 posts)I might try that. Thank you.

(11,278 posts)You havent seen what Ive seen from certain Trumpbillies. They believe he gives them cover.

BigmanPigman
(51,609 posts)news, why would I choose to read anything that he writes? I am not a masochist but he is a sadist. He causes me enough stress as it is, I wish I could permanently mute him forever. The world would be a better place.

(17,931 posts)If not for DU and other sites, I'd have no earthly idea what he's tweeting. I can stand only so much rabid, crazy ass racism.
dawnie51
(959 posts)does everything to further his "ratings". That's all this is to him. Deprive him of oxygen. Like a two year who throws himself on the floor screaming. Ignore his acting out. Make him irrelevant.

(28,799 posts)i don't block him though. sometimes i respond to him and it helps calm me down.
mountain grammy
(26,623 posts)and the press people should ignore him too.. no more impromtu press conferences at the helicopter while he yells racist lies and lies about everything. Just stop covering him.

blakstoneranger
(333 posts)That's the problem, the media won't turn him off and he knows it. Every weekend this guy tweets out something stupid in an desperate attempt at staying in every news cycle. And it works!! No matter what he tweets, it gets media attention and most of the time it's meaningless gibberish meant to rile people up. What he tweets shows a complete lack of leadership, he is the commander and chief of the military and the worst example of a leader I have ever seen. A poor example for our troops. The media can't wait to get another tweet so they can use it as another excuse to beat up on trump. Well I say enough--let's just TURN HIM OFF. Un follow him, block him, do report or talk about him. Change the channel, turn down the volume--ignore him--MAKE HIM DO HIS JOB!! TURN HIM OFF!!! DUMP TRUMP 2020!!

(38,317 posts)The backlash against all things deplorable, including the Republican Party itself, is going to be brutal.
Children are going to snort and roll their eyes when their grandparents reminisce about twitter. The smart ass kids will ask if they voted Republican as well.
When the asshole dies his name will die with him.
Years from now an enterprising reporter, writing for the Atlantic, will track down a reclusive Barron William Knavs living in Slovenia who is going to claim he never knew his dad.

(20,998 posts)...our accounts would be closed tomorrow. Twitter allows tRump* access because he is clickbait.
Cut off his online oxygen.
