I have DJT blocked on Twitter, but this one popped up. I think it's more marketing ploy than anything. Don't collect your thoughts, just blast away.
Link to tweet
Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
I will be live tweeting during the debate tonight.

(34,135 posts)I suspect his staff came up with this idea to act as Dolt45's pacifier. It might keep Dolt's head from exploding, though I would be disappointed if it did.
Something to keep him occupied while Joe talks. Still, that is really weird.

(34,135 posts)So they form a rebuttal. Of course, you know that Dolt45 is incapable of listening and probably does not know what a rebuttal is, much less be capable of forming one.
He just wants to filibuster. The only time he actually listens is when someone is talking about him. He probably won't even pay attention to the topics or the questions. He will try to turn it into another campaign event.

(34,135 posts)They will think he was great and that Biden screwed up. Reality has nothing to do with their view of things.

(32,017 posts)So, when they mute him, hes going to pull out his phone and start tweeting?
Thats going to look really Presidential!
And its stupid too. No time to carefully edit. If he does this (and I dont believe that he will), hes bound to put his foot in his mouth ... bigly.

(43,123 posts)Maybe it'll be theatrical. He's keying furiously but an accomplice is actually tweeting.
I just don't know why you wouldn't listen to the opposition and form your thoughts instead of tweeting. But take heart: Trump will be multi-tasking!

I did look at it twice. Originally I don't think there was a 10:35am time stamp on it.
Also it popped as part of another tweet by a mainstream tweeter who put a sarcastic spin on it, something like "this ought to be good." So he believed it too.

(19,024 posts)I'm a Tweeter, I'm a Talker, I'm a deeebate stalker, grab my porn stars in the daaark.
initially i thought it was intentional by the OP, but on reading the thread i'm not sure

(43,123 posts)you've hit a black hole. I recall a few phrases here or there of this or that, but I don't listen to music period. Growing up my house was at war with different types of music. I never got to listen to anything I liked. So it's a matter of discord to me.
No the 'Tweeter, Talker ...' is a takeoff on 'Tinker, Tailor ...'
