I don’t go on any of those places. I heard Trump was close to coming out with his own platform. I am sure it will be great.

Anyway, anyone who still pays attention to Twitter is a low IQ knucklehead! Twitter is so bad, you have to be a real fool to pay any attention.
True.
Congress should have suspended Twitter. You cannot allow censorship at that level.
