The numbers are skewed. The real number of followers is the only indication of the broadcast effectiveness of Trump Tweets.

The Twitter move's brilliant.

It bypasses liars in the press - reducing their power. AND it allows foreign leaders to know what Trump's thinking at the moment...kind of 'thoughts in progress'... Which can defuse tense situations... while 'feeling out' the room...

It's a high IQ Alpha brilliant twofer, threefer, hundredfer...

“National Media doesn’t like it when they cannot slant press releases to fit their agenda. “

Indeed. and aside from nearly everyone on the planet being able to directly read the thoughts of the President in near real-time WITHOUT intervention by the fake stream media, the other bad thing about Presidential tweets from the perspective of the fake stream media is that they are so short and pithy that it’s nearly impossible to selectively quote from them or misinterpret what they mean. There’s not even much room between the lines for the fake stream media to speculate about “nuances”

“Unless of course, Twitter closes his account down. “

At which point, President Trump can purchase Twitter for a song, since it’s up for sale due to continuing financial losses.

“once the msm starts doing the job it was intended to do”

unfortunately, it’s clear that’s not going to happen. since the election, the fake stream media has tripled down on their strident, 24x7 anti-Trump attacks.

Facebook is still worth a fortune yet I know more and more people who aren’t using it anymore.

Narcissists will always use it :)

Other than that, I wonder what will happen to it in the next few years.

Trump is “freaking out” liars and subversives; literally the enemies of our free republic.

Let them freak, they are not normal.

The media are a collective of sick degenerates who’s only claim to fame is surviving a make-up chair daily and telling lies they are told to tell convincingly.

You’ve told it exactly as it is.

Exactly why Trump should use every alternative method to get his message out unfiltered. Trump should also stop the daily White House briefing. Cutoff every means the MSM has to distort Trump’s actual statements and policies.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Trump himself, or his personal spokesperson, should always communicate directly to the people and never through any news organizations. AND . . . he should never agree to be questioned by any groups of news people, nor should anyone else in his administration be authorized to do so. Every authorized interview should conducted by a previously approved news person one-on-one.

There is a small problem with this. Has anyone looked at some of the replies people are making to his tweet?
To call them “unkind” would be an understatement. Many of them downright mean, calling him names like “psychopath”, “evil” , “foolish”...you get the idea.
If he’s going to do this, he needs to ditch the ability for replies

Just like democrats pay people to ‘protest’ they also pay people to go our conservative sites ...and to tweet ugly comments about Trump. It's all fake on that side.

Democrats also pay trolls to call into radio shows and write fake letters-to-the-editors. AND to pretend they're conservatives to throw Trump off balance. Those tactics have worked on Paul Ryan and most other Republicans. I'm not even sure how Trump was able to get around the liars... but I thank God he was able to.

The tweets work because they bypasses a press that would love to ‘interpret’ what he says... or should I say ‘misinterpret’...

Trump takes the temperature of reality with his rallies... sometimes I can see him throw out an idea that he ‘feels’ will work (probably from a series of fake letters) and watch is mild surprise when there's no response.

I never thought mush about this until the dems started complaining. Today Schumer actually criticized him for tweeting. I think the quote was we can’t have a president who tweets or something like that. I love to see the media and their minions squirm. The more he uses twitter or whatever is next, the better. Full the press room with internet bloggers and send the MSM packing.

The beauty of this is that it’s written down where millions of people can see for themselves what he said. He can’t say something, half the media not show it and then have the media spin it.
