Trump officially with 20 million Twitter followers. MAGA!
I think he's trying to compete with Kim Kardarshian because he's jealous of her following lol He is a narcissist who has to have constant approval and accolades. He doesn't want the press around because they ask him hard questions which he is either incapable or doesn't want to answer. He wants to able to say what he wants without any questions. And this is who you are excited about....ok. But I for one would like straight answers from him. Otherwise, he's like the wizard of oz hiding behind a curtain...aka twitter.

I like the wizard of oz analogy. Trump's administration will be about as transparent as a brick wall.

First comparison/analogy to Hitler in the thread.

As a result of this violation, you win no points, lose any points you may have scored heretofore, and lose the argument.

Sorry. Thanks for playing. Better luck next time.
That's a load of crap. Shall I replace Hitler with one of the Kim Jong family?

Same thing.

As for Twitter, the reason Obama's Tweet's don't make this news is because they're typical politicians Tweets. Inoffensive, largely unimportant. Trump's different. He tweets like... well, like people Tweet, and that's not really a compliment as mosts people's Twitter's are not filled with anything worth reading to begin with. As is, I check Twitter once every two weeks maybe because it's just not worth using.

And yes, Obama's account is "fake" in the sense that's he's not the one using it most of the time.
Since you know so much about Obama's Twitter account, can you tell me how someone gets to follow 630,000 people? Who are they and how do you keep up with their tweets? Heck, how long does it take to add them?

I sure don't agree with that claim. CNN has Jeffrey Lord on staff, MSNBC just gave Greta Van Susteren her own show and has Hugh Hewitt on the payroll.
