So, Now, the Twit-in-Chief Wants to Shut Down Twitter?

What a maroon! Trump uses Twitter as a megaphone for every stupid thought that enters what passes for his brain.

Go ahead, Donald! Try to shut down the one platform you have for expressing your foolish, ugly self. Go on. We dare you!

He's been mad at Fox ever since a few of their talking heads dared question him.

à la North Korea. They're great as long as they're fluffing him every minute of every day, but the moment a bit of questioning creeps in, it's off with their heads.

How do you EVER find such great stuff? THAT ONE is absolutely HIM!

And, IQ45 is SO stupid that if he did succeed in shutting down Twitter he'd try to sue the person who did it, complaining about his lack of free speech!

all content approved by the Dear Leader of course. Threaten to shut them down and they will toe the line on his imperial edicts.

Trump creates traffic. Increased traffic increases exposure to ads.

Twitter loves Trump. He makes money for them.

the "happy death" would be to see him marched out of OUR White House cuffed and in an orange suit (appropriately matching his face, of course!).
