I love the way he describes himself as “45th President of the United States of America” which is technically true, but fails to explain how that makes him the former president, not the current one.

That said the build up was all this “Trump is creating a brand new social platform!” And it turns out if was just a fucking blog. I laughed my ass of. I mean that My Pillow guys attempt, bad as it was, was more ambitious.

Somebody with soc med access should start a parody page: “From the Toilet of Donald J. Trump”.

Who would have thought it would be easier to pump up your number of fake followers on Twitter and Facebook than on your own website?
What absolute morons. How is there no IT guy promising that he can triple their subscribers inside of a week if he gets $X bonus, and then just creating dummy accounts? We all know the great mango will agree to anything that strokes his ego.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he asked how many visitors there were per month and got really angry about it, and told them to shut it down, not realizing that he still got free media coverage of anything he posted on this blog.
It’s so easy to keep a blog up even if you aren’t really doing anything with it.

Because it’s one more click. Too much work.

My guess is that many of his fans enjoy (ahem) flinging poo, and a no-comments blog just doesn’t give them the venue. They didn’t/don’t want to read pearls of wisdom, they want to participate in the owning of the libs, and or making libs cry (LOL) and the blog was just a sad old man whining.

My guess is 90% of his twitter “followers” did so not because they loved/liked him, but because they wanted to hear what awful thing the toddler-in-chief said that day that might tank their stock portfolio. Or so that they could out-rage-tweet back about it.

I think this was a strategic PR error. All they had to do was say they “brought it down” for overhaul, and that the initial release was for testing/refinement in the first place. And then never bring it back up. Interest would wane, and you wouldnt take the hit from a “failure” being “shut down”, since it is “soon” to be brought back. And, once his formal media platform is released, it will become moot anyway.
Yeah, however paltry the user clicks were, the MSM nevertheless were hungrily covering every single “tweet” he emitted.
Also, is it me, or does Jason Miller look like a potato:
(The potato is on the right.)
