Dump's twitter page

I am not a tweeter, and so never really went to Dump's Twitter page. I did this morning though, and I would say 90% of the comments were negative towards him. Is this normal that his hard core Rublicans are not defending him more?

One DU blogger yesterday posted that her account was blocked from his feed. This made me curious if Dump's is trying to quiet his objectors. There was another post on his feed that stated many were being blocked. So, in my mind I subtracted these blocked twitter accounts, but still am seeing a 90% negative tweeters. Furthermore, I did not hardly see any of the rhetoric sayings heard during the campaign. Where have all his supporters gone? And why so quiet now?

This is only my opinion...but if the media attack on him is real as he tweets....where is Dump's Callvary? He used to be able to rouse his base as his buffer against any attacks...but this weekend...there is NO battle on social media. And if there is a defensive stand being made, it is so minuscule, that nobody is seeing it. Even our DU boards are relatively quiet from RW arguments or attacks.

Just a thought....where is the battle?

When you're down to being defended by Ben Ferguson, you've hit rock bottom.

Unless Satan comes out of hiding.

Realizing they have been lied to and played for the fools that they are. I have no doubts that the Cretin blocks hundreds of tweets.
Sociopath Narcissists don't tolerate criticism.

They might be realizing that we do not HAVE a leader and won't as long as this indefensible oaf is in the White House.

and noted Rublicans are very mixed on their support of Donald. Many critical comments on that site for Trump.

5. First more then half the people in the U.S. voted against him

And now you have around a 36% approval rating. Then consider out of those they may not be inclined to defend everything he has done. Some of the tweets defending him were pretty much talking points. When something new comes out they haven't received their talking points to parrot.

it seems to be like that for the Twitter pages of many prominent people. Most of the commenters on the pages of Hillary Clinton, John Lewis, Tom Perez, DWS, etc. are probably negative, too. Many people out there just like to go on the Twitter pages of celebs/politicians they loathe just to vent while the people who support them have no reason to say anything.
