So....Donald Trump Is Completely Melting Down On Twitter

Donald Trump seems to be handling impeachment very well, and by "very well," I mean REALLY badly.

Why has no one in Donald Trump's orbit taken away his twitter and brought in a psychiatrist to talk to him??? Since being impeached, he has been degrading at a rapid pace. The last 24 hours have brought an alarming rise in tweets and retweets from extremely disturbing accounts, most of which are straight up conspiracy theories and Qanon-based bots and trolls.

Twitter has taken notice.

How long before the GOP sees him for what he is?

When will they get a clue?

Inquiring minds want to know.

millions of followers. An orchestrated effort to "alert" on him whenever he says anything that puts people in danger ( like we did when he trashed press).

If a million alert on him, then maybe they might at least suspend him for a while.

Why, indeed, hasn’t his Twitter account been shut down? He commits domestic terrorism with it, almost by the hour.

Can't think of any other reason. It certainly is not because Twitter likes Trump.

I saw plenty of these people at polls last time. You could just tell they had never voted before...talking louding and freely about trump in front of everyone.

How are we revving up our base? Can't wait until we have a nominee. Hope everyone can pledge to say only wonderful things.

He says it is "funny" and he is not bothered by it at all.

I think Trump is giving voice to their inner bigot asshole, saying stuff they are thinking, and they like it.

What does that mean?

Probably nothing, because the only person in the Twitter universe who matters is Jack Dorsey, who is the CEO of Twitter. And he won't do jack shit about Trumpy because Trumpy means dollar signs to Dorsey. Trumpy can do anything he wants on Twitter and Dorsey will zip his lip.

Not able to out-first him, Trump and RepubLIEclowns 🤡 want to “break” the internet—literally. Social media is the biggest deterrent to their domination.
