Question for twiitter users: Every Trump tweet immediately results in stinging rebukes. Every one

[hlthe2b]

or at least it seems to be the case from the many responses posted here and elsewhere

Yet, it seems clear that he never sees any of them. How is that possible? Is it possible to tweet and simply block all replies? Or, is it that after posting a tweet he never goes back to it, but immediately goes on to the next?

I often post tweets (directly from google access), but I am not on twitter, so I imagine what I see is different from registered users?

Surely, if he saw ANY of the replies, it would have to tweak him badly and we all know that he is incapable of ignoring personal slights. So, shat gives?

1. He can mute them.

Unlike blocking a follower, muting allows him/her to continue reading and commenting on your tweets, but you won't see those comments.

6. Yes.. this is what I suspected was possible/happening. thanks

2. You never have to look at replies

Twitter allows various ways to control what you see. You never have to see any replies if you don't want to.

3. Trump has 53 million twitter followers.

You are saying that every tweet he makes results in "stinging rebukes" from every one of those? How would you know that? But the larger point is that anyone with that many followers is not going to pay any attention to the replies. There are just too many of them pro, con or something else. Obama has about 100 million followers. Do you really think he pays attention to any of his replies?

4. He doesn't care about replies

He cares about reactions and those he gets elsewhere--mostly from the television noise box.

Someone must show them to him. Ok edit here, John Roberts used the AP for his rebuke, not Twitter. My bad.
