    Speaking of Trumps tweets and how many who follow him are really fans, these figures are telling... (I’ve taken a screen shot so cannot change the word “twits” - it is not my word.) B1E18033-CAAD-4364-B554-4BFEDEF41DDA.jpeg

    I dare say its probably because most people who voted for him aren't really into facebook, twitter or other forms of social media like the left. Twitter and other forms of social media are leftist echo chambers

    When Trump tweets, it's apparently a fantastic way for him to reach people directly, bypassing the main stream media. When anybody else tweets a contrary opinion, it's a leftist echo chamber. OK.

    While Twitter users tend to be more left wing, I would suggest that there is a very heavy usage by the right, and especially the alt right. Facebook users tend to now be more traditionalist middle class older people, conservative leaning territory. People show off their grandchildren, share recipes, reconnect with high school buddies and watch cute cat videos. While there is political content, it tends to be expressed a lot less than on Twitter.

    Today he's back to attacking Jeff Sessions - the Attorney General (who is supposed to, and has, remained reletively neutral) - for indicting two Repub Congressmen for committing criminal acts

    "Two easy wins now in doubt because there is not enough time. Good job Jeff......"

    This is the type of thing I really do not like about Trump. How about the blame be poured on the two criminals, for - well - acting illegally - rather than on the one who is bringing them to justice!

    Trump escalates attacks on his attorney general

    Brit Hume, political analyst for Fox News, doesn't support Trump in this matter.

    Trying to shield his political allies from prosecution, typical corrupt Trump behavior, any other politician would be forced to resign. Don´t know he continues to get away with it, or how he survived his pathetic actions at Helsinki.

    This doesn't make sense - if they are unnamed and anonymous sources, and no one knows who they are, then how can they have "come forward to be disproven"?

    p.s. disproven is not a real word

    You realise that.trump wears his massive social media following as a badge of honour and constantly refers to how it allows him to.speak directly his followers don't you? That and a combined figure not far off 100m followers from all forms of social media would.point to your post being completely devoid of reality.

    Trump blatantly tweets false information pretty much every day, his latest tweeted videos have all been completely false, e.g. the google state of the union link. His anti Obama video today is also wrong, and is something you might expect from a 10 year old.

    That last sentence in the Tweet is surprisingly honest.

    Charity donation for sure.
    Poor Warren..... not a good look

    Warren’s DNA test mocked by GOP; Trump offers charity donation only 'if I can test her personally'

    Extract
    For Latino Americans, the average percentage of Native-American ancestry was 18 percent; while African Americans’ average was .8 percent.

    If Warren is 10 generations removed from a Native-American ancestor, she would be no more Native American -- .09 percent -- than any of the groups studied in that research. If she's 1/64 Native American, it amounts to 1.5 percent, or greater than the average European American.

    He has refused to donate to the charity he promised he would. For sure. He said it today.

    And we are not talking percentages here. We are talking "any" Native-American ancestry. He got it wrong. He needs to honour his offer to donate.

    And anyway, six to ten generations back is not that far. It is there for everyone to see, along with her tax returns.

    But he has refused. He says he will only do it if he can administer the test himself and added "that is not something I will enjoy". More insults.
