Anthony Scarramucci:
Trump’s blog couldn’t make it to 3 Scaramucci’s. Too much work. He is gone. FOREVER

E.J. Carroll:
Didn't last as long as DNA on a dress.

I am dying here...

[PortTack]

1. Everything he touches breaks, dies, ends, quits, goes belly up, bankrupt

Is it just me or does this not bode well for a big return to politics??

[2naSalit]

2. I was all prepared to ask...

How many Scaramuccis is that? But I see the answer is already stated.

[chia]

3. Me too! First thing that came to my mind...

[DesertRat]

4. His "revolutionary social media platform" is the latest in his string of failures

Steaks, vodka, magazine, university, casino...

[SergeStorms]

12. Presidency....

multiple marriages, everything he touches dies, and quickly.

[DesertRat]

28. Yup. And he can now add "failed blogger" to the list

[Mr. Evil]

16. He even fucked up water.

[DesertRat]

29. I forgot about that one!

[SergeStorms]

43. That's pretty difficult, isn't it?

The guy certainly has the anti-midas touch.

[onethatcares]

25. USFL

the New Jersey Generals.

[DesertRat]

31. Haha, yup!

[captain queeg]

5. Who would want to hear his constant complaints and self pity?

I guess as president some folks would pay attention. But as a disgraced loser it’s not very interesting for even his fan club.

[Ilsa]

6. I wonder if his lawyers told him to shut it down?

I wonder if they were afraid he'd go on a rant after bad news from the special grand jury and say too much?

[FakeNoose]

17. Maybe, but more likely he hasn't paid anybody

Most people aren't going to work for very long if they don't get paid.

[UTUSN]

7. Bwah!1 - That's giving it Mulligans for 28 days!1

[cayugafalls]

8. From the comments: "Stormy Daniels: I'm surprised it lasted more than two minutes".

[underpants]

9. And yet sad trombone persists. Ironic.

[BootinUp]

10. I wanted to be the first to measure it

In Scaramucci’s

[Warpy]

11. I really thought he'd give it a couple of months.

I guess his ego is more easily bruised than it used to be.

Good.

[SergeStorms]

13. I think he expected...

to have millions of readers/posters.

That right there let's you know how many of his followers on Twitter were Russian bots.

[Warpy]

26. He'd have to search for them on FB and Twitter, maybe Parler and Gab

because replying to him on his blog was not an option, not even after the curious and the dudebros looking for lulz had gotten bored and left. It was just a way to keep him busy while Parscale milked some more cash out of the cow.

[joshcryer]

40. The thing is he thought his stuff would be reposted.

But it wasn't, because his following is purely fake. If you followed him on Twitter, 90% of the responses were hate Tweets. People despised him on that platform. But he used the negative energy for his own gain and reach. By not being on the platform, it has no power.

He has to be livid that someone told him to make that blog and that his followers would give him the social media reach he desired.

[smirkymonkey]

14. I revel in his humiliation.

He is nothing without other people propping him up.

[CurtEastPoint]

15. But Giant Head Miller said it was just one of their many whatevers social media blah blah blah

[ShazzieB]

34. If Jabba the Hutt could grow a goatee...

He'd look just like this guy!

[Lucky Luciano]

18. Impressive. That's almost 3 Scaramuccis. nt

[Hekate]

19. I love it that Scaramucci chimes in

[samsingh]

20. what trump runs fails. As a grifter, his game is to use other people's money

to cover his own failures

[ad121rome]

21. No money! No Trump!

Goodbye.

[birdographer]

22. Whoever was actually writing it

must have found a tiny shred of soul left in himself and quit. Trump is not capable of putting words together in any way that makes sense. Most of his tweets, except the ones with the misspellings, were written by someone else. The man can't spell. He's very poorly educated (like his fan base). And there is the fact that it was a failure, regardless. His name means very little to anyone besides the GQP in DC.

[Initech]

33. I have no doubt that Trump wrote a lot of that stuff himself.

Because if he had hired a writer it would have sounded intelligent instead of "Bad news! Everyone's a loser. SAD!".

[birdographer]

46. Good point

I never read a word of it, I was just remembering the tweets that came out with no misspellings, proper punctuation, and no bizarre capitalizations. There were a lot of them. Given the difference between the word count of a tweet and a blog post, I did not see him able to maintain focus long enough to write a post, never mind making it readable!

[Mr. Sparkle]

23. I heard before Trump University was closed down ..

they were going to start a course on running your own website , so close Donnie !

[onethatcares]

27. the course title was to be

"Web building for assholes".

[Generic Other]

45. You get a cardboard cut-out of a bot to pose with

And Guilfoyle does her BRONX cHEER.

[Initech]

36. That is hilarious!

[zaj]

24. I don't get why they don't just keep posting stuff on it.

Making this announcement just makes them look silly. If he just becomes a blog, then his comms people just start posting stuff to it under his name and no one ever gets embarrassed.

This seems like self immolation.

[Ligyron]

30. Read he was pissed (more likely depressed).

Less than 300k followers. Is he becoming irrelevant? Who ever remembers the guy who came in 2nd anyway?

[ShazzieB]

32. From the article...

“Hoping to have more information on the broader efforts soon, but I do not have a precise awareness of timing,” Miller told CNBC.

TRANSLATION: Who the hell knows?

[shenmue]

35. Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Tee hee!

[Roc2020]

37. ...didn't last as long as the DNA on the dress....

LMBO what a burn!!!

[Jon King]

38. You can feel him fading, fading, fading away....

Repugs are backing a loser that more Americans move on from month by month. Any races that his backed candidates win in the future are already deep red so there is nothing to benefit from him.

[joshcryer]

39. Trump thought it would be a viral sensation.

And was likely told as much by his circle of psychophants. They likely thought, he can't post on social media, but his followers would diligently make his comments there go viral. And they couldn't stop him then!

But of course, it is not the messenger but the platform that decides that. His social media following is especially shallow, with crazy insane people. The reason he had such a following in real life is solely because of the R behind his name. His followers are loud, yeah, but they are irrelevant on the scheme of things.

Poor Trump was so devastated his blog didn't have nearly the reach he thought it would. He likely ripped in to the people who suggested it would, and this was one last piece of his facade being crushed.

[sarchasm]

41. I guess the loser won't be POTUS in Aug after all...

[smb]

42. Did He Write A Final "GOOD-BYE CRUEL WORLD" Blog Entry? nt

[Generic Other]

44. Oh you are bad

hahahahaha.
