moron could construct anything? That this moron would listen to any of the SMEs who are top notch in their professions (designing web sites, etc.)? And also, idiot probably was way too cheap to put the right amount of funds into the development of this site, and probably went to some idiots who still live in their mommy and daddy's basement (the development funds for tRump's website).

rump is a living, breathing (somehow), walking nightmare, who is so obviously incompetent that it's pathetic and not funny anymore.

. . . To anyone capable of applying objective analysis to the world around them.

Of course, Trump didn't hire competent people. Truly skilled, knowledgeable people threaten him. He needs to surround himself with people who reflect and echo back his image of himself.

The guy knows how to attract attention and he does so by appealing to people's lessor instincts. Successfully running a complex business where things have to actually function and you can't bluff, bluster or manipulate your way though is beyond his ability.

Even if Trump had the money and was willing to spend it to hire excellent people, he wouldn't let them do their jobs. He would interfere the minute somebody pointed out a problem that he would rather ignore and he would be too focused on how much deference he was receiving from his employee rather than the actual content of their report.

so unless they're sifting through the memes to post on FB or Twitter (if they haven't been banned yet), it's not terribly useful to them.

Second, TFG was never interested in using it as his own megaphone. This was supposed to siphon off enough Twitter userrs that Twitter would take a hit in profits and stock price and beg him to come back. Yeah, I know.

He did end up doing a massive public service for this country, he got Nunes out of Congress. Maybe people need to send him postcards and thank him for that.
