Related: About this forumDonald Trump's campaign takes away his right to tweet without supervision
Trump's press team no longer lets him control his own Twitter account, according to campaign insiders who spoke to the New York Times; now he must dictate proposed tweets to grownups who decide whether to publish them.
It's part of an overall implosion of the campaign, which is operating in a data-vacuum since it refused to pay its pollsters, and which is hobbled by Trump's insistence that online ads are a waste of money. He gets contradictory advice from his fired ex-advisors and makes the current team respond to it. He is contemplating funding a "revenge" Super PAC to punish Republican candidates who did not support him. - Boing-Boing

Revenge Super PAC? That's thinking ahead.

Right, but massive advertising in deep red states during prime time is a sound investment.
Filing another Chapter 11 soon... this one for the campaign debts.

in the corner, like a 5 yo, because "They won't let me tweet!"
The info on a "revenge super-pac disturbs me though. I honestly thought after say, November 13th (beginning of new week after election) we would no longer have to hear anything about The Con and his escapades. Are they now telling me hes going to hang around?
