Trump has 7.394 million Twitter followers. Over 4 times the circulation of the New York Times.
Regardless of what Someone retweets, it should never be construed as an endorsement or rebuke, of their actual feelings, unless they specifically add a quote to the tweet saying as much.
That's disingenuous as hell. Sure, there are times people retweet things to start discussions, or maybe because they disagree with it. But usually, if that's the case, they'll add a comment, or send it under a critical hashtag.
But this appears to be some backdoor defense of Trump retweeting that picture of the two wives, as if Trump perhaps really was sending if to show how mean some people were or something. That's absolute complete b.s. Some retweet, if not accompanied by a comment of some type, speak for themselves.
His first presidential tweet will no doubt be . . . Vladimir Putin is so gay!
I find it humorous that Obama and the Democrats were lauded for their masterful use of Twitter and other social media. We were told that it showed how modern and hip they were.
Then comes Trump, who has made great use of the platform (not that I always agree with his style). Now we are told that Twitter is bad, juvenile, or lame.
I agree with Trump that there is an element of jealousy that the “old guy” is a master of Twitter and social media in general.
“I’ve written extensively on the topic of retweets.”
Nuff said.
Some day, all of the Trump sycophants are going to owe all of us a big apology for throwing away this election, for destroying our party, and for giving this arrogant buffoon a platform. They’ll owe it, but much like the Perot supporters who gave us Slick Willie, they won’t have the decency to give it.
"Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump 11h11 hours ago Wisconsin has suffered a great loss of jobs and trade, but if I win, all of the bad things happening in the U.S. will be rapidly reversed!"
That's right, we'll immediately reside in Trumptopia! No more bad stuff!
Reminds of Obama saying that when he got elected, that would be the moment that the oceans would stop rising.
Ask Orson Wells.
His 'experiment' with the 'media' in February 1939 created quite a stir!
Since a flash mob can be conjured up quite readily these days; I imagine that a mob can be encouraged to act at most anything that comes along these days.
