Some thoughts.

I joined Twitter recently, following @donaldtrump...I am appalled at all of the negative comments to his posts. They are at least 98% negative, and ugly, smart mouthed just a bunch of hate

I have no way of knowing if the positives I post are just deleted or what, I see my positives, but there is never any feedback.

On another note, the husband and I were talking sports, and Howard Cosell came up...he was a great sportscaster, everyone loved him. Neither one of us can recall what year it was that he fell out of favor...

He said “look at that monkey run!” And it ruined his career..even Mohammed Ali stood up for him, knowing he meant no harm, but PC destroyed him and broke his heart.

And look where we are today.

I worked with Howard for many years; he was a brilliant mind. As to everyone loved him, that is not necessarily true. He made enemies in the business, unwisely. In my own view he had the emotional maturity of a petulant 14 year old... it made him extremely difficult to work with.

Howard owned a piece of the action in ABC Sports and Monday Night Football and that helped to sustain him. He was quick to lose patience when things did not go the way he thought they should. Personally, I watched how his wife handled him at such times and learned a good bit of useful knowledge.

I suppose many brilliant people tend to be that way. Don't think that when, on MNF, Howard would start talking about some obscure game or player - or set of plays or any sport - don't think he had a 'spotter' or notebook full of info; Howard probably had near total recall... amazing.

I retired from the business in 1980 so I can't really help you to date his fall; I don't even recall that fall. But I can't say that he didn't play some role in his fall.

Something must be done about Twitter, they are involved in election interference big time!

Like you I recently activated a twitter account and posted positive comments supporting Trump.

In the first few days, 4 or 5 tweets, I got many likes and replies, then nothing? It was like my tweets were invisible? They figured out I was pro Trump and my posts were not being seen!

Concerning negative replies to Trump posts:

1. Looked at replies to a Trump Tweet while logged in and in first 20 replies saw 14 positive 7 negative.

2. A minute later looked at replies to same Trump tweet from another computer where I was not logged in and 19 of the first 20 replies were negative and I could not see my post?

Also Saw this last night:

Then This:
