Bingo.

Trump is an interesting beast. He's a narcissist who needs constant attention and who can't handle even the slightest criticism, but he's also a complete moron who knows less than nothing about anything of any importance. That means he needs a way to get his message out without ever having to face questions from people who might challenge him and without ever having to deal with someone who might actually know what they're talking about. You can also see it in his cabinet selections - he's chosen a bunch of people who have no relevant qualifications. They're just suck ups who won't disagree with him.

Yet.....

• Trump is the CEO of a multi-billion dollar multi-national corporation.

• Is a producer of a top rated TV show that has been on the air more than a decade.

• He defeated 16 GOP Candidates including the Bush family which has 3 presidential wins to its name.

• He defeated the Clinton family which has 2 presidential wins to its name.

• He defeated not only the Democrat establishment, but the GOP establishment as well. Both worked hard to keep him from being elected.

• He defeated the now totally exposed as biased and corrupt USA main stream media. He played them like a fiddle.

This isn't the hallmark of someone who is a moron, stupid, and ignorant as you state.

But it is the kind of thing that comes from those who Trump has defeated, because name calling is all that they have left.

He already is, we don't need the MSM any longer, they are essentially useless when it come to political 'reporting.'

We do have a free press.

But Trump doesn't have to give access to the lying liberal lamestream media.

They're not going to be allowed to camp out in the White House anymore.

He'll talk to them when -- and if -- he feels like it.

Sometimes people set it up to autofollow people back that follow them. When you are beginning an account, you can only follow so many at first until enough follow you back, then you have to keep it within a certain ratio. They may have set it up that way at first. Once it took off, they didn't have to autofollow any more. You would, of course, do maintenance like making sure to unfollow trolls, inactive accounts, etc.

You basically use different apps and software to single out people if you want, put them on lists, etc. It does get pretty noisy. You look more at your mentions, hashtags and replies. Stuff like that.

No he doesn't.

Please don't respond by posting a link to a pollster who also said that Hillary Clinton would win the election.

So why does he need the Press & MSM to filter his message?

Trump officially with 20 million Twitter followers. MAGA!

I follow Trump on Twitter. Not because I like him. Just makes it easier to find his early morning loony tweets so I can laugh.
