Lately I noticed that the many of the replies to Trump's tweets are negative

Especially the last video that he posted. I know it drives him insane to see all of the negative replies. Oh and in the title he puts his name, The President of the United States. No shit Sherlock. That power means so much to him. It is not about helping people. It is about power. Like the other day when he said “I’m the President of the United States. You don’t speak to the President like that.” He wants the power and respect. He wants all of the headlines to be about him. He wants all the topics on the news to be about him. I can’t wait until he is a private citizen and no one gives a shit what he is doing. I will be PISSED if the media continues to cover his shit because he claims to be a candidate for 2024.

Twitter has never been much of a place for conservatives. The sarcasm and irony jokes pass right over their heads.

The reporting on Trumps tweets should have always included people calling him on nonsense and making fun of him. That would have provided the full picture.

I understand he even uses a Sharpie® Highlighter in printed material to, well, highlight his name.
