Trump Does Not Miss 'Very Boring' Twitter


April 24, 2021 at 7:12 am EDT By Taegan Goddard

Former President Donald Trump said that Twitter has become “very boring” since he was banned from the social media platform, Insider reports.

Said Trump: “I’m really getting a big word out because we’re doing releases. And every time I do a release it’s all over the place. It’s better than Twitter, much more elegant than Twitter. And Twitter now is very boring, a lot of people are leaving Twitter.”

He seems to be back. That is quite the statement. Everyone is just waiting for his decrees, his elegant decrees.

Funny I haven’t heard of one in what seems like at least a month and that one was a mess.

I want to read about him, is his obit. Until then donny, sit down and shut the fuck up. The adults are in charge.

I wonder what he thinks that sounded like. His language often reminds of someone who has just learned to speak English recently.

Unfortunately, he passed a few months ago. He was a pretty cool dog.

Anyway, that dog had DEMONSTRABLY a greater vocabulary than Donald Trump. I would have much preferred that he had been president.

would be more compassionate than that monster.

I've known people who weren't terribly smart, but they knew that and were quick to ask relevant questions. There's nothing worse than a stunningly dumb person who pretends to be a "genius" and if that person is in power, he/she is also extremely dangerous.

I love border collies!

But, yes, I could sleep soundly knowing that a border collie president wasn't scheming every night thinking of new ways to hurt people, rip them off, or seek petty revenge.

people hurt others inadvertently, but with Trump is was very intentional and sadistic. He enjoys it.

He can't get through a couple of hours without the first, and rarely spews out a disjointed sentence without using one, or more, of the 2nd.

He's been barred by Twitter and Facefuck. To salve his fragile ego, he denigrates those platforms to try to elevate himself. It's a failed attempt, just like so many other Trump efforts.

One funny part to me is that he calls Twitter boring. Well, that's because he can't read his own tweets and the responses to them. He doesn't want to read anyone else's feed. So, to him, Twitter "now is very boring."

Trump is pathetic and weak. As always.

Anything that isn't about "Trump" is of no interest to him whatsoever. Everything has to be all Trump, all the time.
