Trump used to be everywhere on social media. Now he’s nowhere.

Donald Trump used to be everywhere on social media — but lately, it feels like he’s nowhere.

Many have noted just how little people have been talking about Trump — from cable news to Google searches — since he lost the election and was kicked off Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube four months ago.

New data Recode obtained from social media measurement firms Zignal Labs and CrowdTangle shows just how drastic the drop in conversation about Trump has been.

Mentions of Trump went down by 34 percent on Twitter and 23 percent on Facebook the week after he was banned from both platforms following the Capitol riot on January 6. Since then, Trump mentions have continued to decline around 90 percent on both platforms from where they were the week of the riots. (That decline may be even greater than what the current data reflects on Twitter because it doesn’t include retweets and tweets from accounts that have since been deleted, like Trump’s.)

1. Good. As far as I'm concerned, there is still too much out there on the former PINO idiot (...

Pres. In Name Only)...

[jimfields33]

4. The news and other sites have taken up the slack

Some can’t leave him for some reason.

5. That's their problem and they'll find out pretty quickly that ratings will drop, the audiences are

far smaller, etc. The moron is gone, no one cares anymore (most of us). Idiots don't realize this yet...

9. Part of that problem, though, is that some of us love to hear Maddow, etc talk about Тяцмр. n/t

14. Therein lies the quandry:

On the one hand, he needs to be (metaphorically) curbstomped from the political landscape with no means to resurrect himself as an office-holder.

On the other hand, we have a lot of future-facing problems to work out.

For political junkies, these are not mutually exclusive; but low-info voters will potentially disengage.

2. Starving the former guy of media oxygen is one of the worst things that could be done to him

For a malignant narcissists, losing massive attention and adulation is deeply painful. Couldn’t happen to a more deserving guy!

[SoonerPride]

8. This times a million

He cannot abide inattention.

Negative attention or adoration are the same to him.

Just so long as he is the center of your attention.

Ignoring a NPD is death to them.

12. I wonder if many people understand the enormous black abyss that lives inside of him

Right where a heart would be in a normal person.

3. The media attempt necromancy

but their juju is weak. Doesn’t keep them from trying, however.

6. He's still Der Leader of the Republican Party. The followers who created him

must be getting adequate fixes elsewhere because elected Pubs are still running scared of them, even those who tried to break the party away from his control, notably McConnell and McCarthy, but were forced to resume obeisance.

Nevertheless, good, good, good! Always keeping in mind that they're desperate, enraged and committed. They could restore him or create a new leader if they lost him before Biden's fire hose knocks down their flames.

7. Thank god this site still talks about him nonstop.

Or so it seems.

[Treefrog]

10. But here he remains popular.

How strange.

[FakeNoose]

11. DU needs to do the same - get off the Chump fixation

It will do wonders for our mental outlook.

[Totally Tunsie]

13. ...and yet, he's still here on DU.

Why is he still a daily topic here?
