Trump's still the ultimate social media troll

I'm sure Trump's loving all the media attention he's getting from his 4am truth/tweet.

Bottom line he's the one who told the world he MIGHT be arrested. He didn't have to. Bur he knew once he posted that BS he'd upend the news cycle and create chaos. The only thing he's been good at is trolling the news media for the past 8 years.

Just like he didn't have to tell people the FBI searched his home. We would have never known. But he couldn't wait to post about it.
To play the victim and raise money.

The media really needs to figure out a better way to react to this carnival barker. The only real news story today is that a former President is trying to obstruct justice, intimidate witnesses and incite violence.

He continues to play journalists and spineless Republicans like a fiddle.

It's all about user time on platform. That's the only real "community standards" any social media has, everything else is flexible.

Trump once told a writer that he loves the fact he can be watching the news, tweet something in response and immediately the headlines change.
