Trump's tweeting

This is from a few hours ago on Trump's twitter page:

Donald J. Trump?Verified account @realDonaldTrump 2h2 hours ago

The Fake News Media hates when I use what has turned out to be my very powerful Social Media - over 100 million people! I can go around them.


A glance at the top of the page shows 32.4 million followers, not a million. Does this mean that Trump's tweets are Fake News? Sad.

100 million what? Russians? Bots? The 32 million "followers" is his base....every one else hates him.

Wonder how much he'll like Twitter in Leavenworth.

He (or someone) has recently kicked off all the real people from his tweet list.

Real people have opinions and they can disagree with you and say mean things. But the bots are all nice and compliant, they never disagree. So Cheeto loves the bots and keeps adding more to his tweet list.

The bots are never going to tell him that he only has 1 million, not 32 million.

Those 'followers' aren't even real... mostly bots, russian trolls and bogus accounts.
What a silly vainglorious house of cards you got there, Trump.
