WaPo: 'Now you can see what Donald Trump sees every time he opens Twitter'...

The Washington Post has created a twitter account that follows the exact same people whom Trump follows. (There are only 25 of them.) It let's one see exactly what he sees when he opens his twitter app.

Users of Twitter will understand, however, that it can be tricky to know what someone else sees when he or she fires up the application. Everyone follows a different group of people, and that colors the information they receive.

To that end, we’ve created @trumps_feed, an account that checks whom Trump follows every five minutes and then retweets any new tweets from them over that period. The net result is a replication of what Trump would see on those occasions that he switches over from the Mentions tab.

It’s this. This is what Trump would see right now if he opened Twitter.

The results are pathetic, even if unsurprising.

edit: I wonder if this could be away to influence him. Imagine hundreds or thousands of thinking people commenting on those tweets, rebutting the idiocy and offering sensible facts to support a more inclusive and fair minded world view.

on a steady diet of shit. Not plain old shit, mind you, but right-wing "fake news" shit.

The guy's body is like a rubber filled with creamed corn, and his mind is full of Rupert Murdoch's masturbatory fantasies.

This dumb shit is so disconnected from reality it's almost beyond comprehension. This is the preznit Nazi deplorables want?

What a bunch of mooks.
