People have looked at the accounts he follows, and it's a small, narrow selection (Fox News etc.). So he sees that if he's about to tweet, and his flunkies bring him the most sycophantic stuff in his twice daily "oh Lord, you are so smashing" ego massage. But mostly, he's as oblivious to comments about him on Twitter as he is to policy details, global warming, what poverty is like, what being a decent human being is like, etc. Twitter will not break through his bubble.
