I know it wouldn’t matter to them and I kind of find it boring, but I deactivated my Twitter account today.

I found the idea of it to be narcissistic to begin with so never signed up.

Twitter also removed a recent tweet trump placed on the POTUS account.

Quote:
President Donald Trump continued tweeting Friday evening using the government-owned @POTUS account, despite having his @realDonaldTrump account permanently suspended by Twitter earlier in the day.

“As I have been saying for a long time, Twitter has gone further and further in banning free speech, and tonight, Twitter employees have coordinated with the Democrats and Radical Left in removing my account from their platform, to silence me,” Trump wrote in a series of tweets that are no longer visible on the social media service.

Does ANYONE else see a problem with this?
Maybe if he would stop trying encouraging insurrection against the country he took an oath to protect, they wouldn't have banned him.

Look the a-hole will be gone in less than 2 weeks, and Dems want to impeach NOW, NOW, NOW. They are scared of something.
Nah that’s just talk radio fantasy. They do that every so often. They say the Democrats are acting scared for some reason.

But obviously they are not. Why would they impeach him if they were afraid of what he might do if irritated? Why provoke him like that if they are scared. If you think about it the premise makes no sense. Trump is as weak as ever and the Democrats know it.

DESPITE what you see on TV and read in the newspaper... President Trump has said a LOT of crazy stuff in his tweets the past four years... Let's examine them:

He said: My offices are bugged. He was right.
He said: The FBI, CIA, DOJ and the Obama administration were plotting against him. He was right.
He said: The media both liberal and social are liars. He labeled them FAKE NEWS. He was right.
He said: Russian collision was a hoax. He was right.
He said: He could bring manufacturing back. He was right.
He said: If we build a wall and manage immigration it will create jobs. He was right.
He said: Joe and Hunter got rich off of shady corrupt deals with the Ukraine and China. He was right.
He said: New trade deals would be better for the people. He was right.
He said: Moving the embassy to Jerusalem would be the right decision. He was right
He said: Getting us out of un-winnable wars would create peace. He was right.
He said the Clintons were corrupt. He was right, and they still are!
He said: Jobs are worth way more than welfare so he gave the people jobs. He was right.
He said: Our government is filled with corrupt people and he would fight to drain the swamp. He was right.
