Laura Loomer, for example. Maybe TFG will handcuff himself to the Twitter headquarters door too.

6. This quote from his lawyers

Seems insane/sad to me:

Twitter "exercises a degree of power and control over political discourse in this country that is immeasurable, historically unprecedented, and profoundly dangerous to open democratic debate,"


Really? Twitter is that fucking important? Pathetic.

9. I'm confused, trump is supposedly so popular

in his own right, why would he need Twitter? Why not start his own Twitter, just call it TwitTweets and everyone will flock to read his “imbued” messages.

Wait a minute, remember this:

Trump adviser Jason Miller declared “We’re going to see President Trump returning to social media in probably about two or three months here with his own platform.” While insisting he couldn’t go into further detail, Miller added that companies are supposedly banging down Trump’s door to get a piece of his famously incoherent rants. “There have been a lot of high-power meetings he’s been having at Mar-a-Lago with some teams of folks who have been coming in, and…it’s not just one company that’s approached the president, there have been numerous companies,” Miller said.


So as usual, more bullshit from the twice impeached, one term, Russian ASSet traitor.
