the Donald starts a BLOG

[smokeshadow]

it's very simplistic It is supposed to compete with Twitter and Facebook; but, IDN, seems rather one sided

and, he's relentlessly mocked for it

Ugh! Now the orange menace will be able to communicate with, and stir to action, his brain dead followers. They are already intolerable.

^^^ Speaking about Trump: Don't try to come off now like you care, you lying, hypocritical bag of shit. We're not stupid enough to believe your patronizing fabrications. We know what you really think. Only your brainwashed F-Word Network minions are deluded enough to believe you have any concern beyond selfish, disdain for our military. STFU you despicable narcissitic asshole! You're not fooling anyone with half a memory of what you actually said and did. ^^^

Trump: Americans Who Died in War Are ‘Losers’ and ‘Suckers’ [The Atlantic]

In a conversation with senior staff members on the morning of the scheduled visit, Trump said, “Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers.” In a separate conversation on the same trip, Trump referred to the more than 1,800 marines who lost their lives at Belleau Wood as “suckers” for getting killed.

We can be certain that Trump didn't write that himself.

I'm pretty sure he didn't even read it.

As reported by NBC, Trump's back. Here's what his re-entry means for 2024.

Basically - Trump returns Saturday as the marquee speaker at the North Carolina Republican Party's state convention. He plans to follow up with several more rallies in June and July to keep his base engaged in the 2022 midterms and give him the option of seeking the presidency again in 2024.

Donald's blog is officially being shut down. Not that anyone really ever cared it was up to begin with. The only good thing is that this serves as a reminder of his incompetence. But yet he still commands 70% of the Republican Party. This is the guy who sank the USFL because he wanted only to use it toget a pro football team of his own in the 80s, and tried to use the league as a means to get into the NFL boys club. He didn't get that, either.

I don't think anyone really ever paid attention to his 'blog'. I can count on one had and still have a digit left over the number of pronouncements I ever saw posted...so it obviously wasn't getting re-broadcast much on other social media.

And of course...it likely was bleeding money because it was a stupid idea and he couldn't raise the kind of cash he needs from it.

Everything he touches dies.

Interactions with posts on Trump’s blog dropped significantly in the weeks after it was launched, The Washington Post noted.

The newspaper reported 159,000 total social media interactions on the blog's first day. But the following day, interactions dropped to 30,000 and did not surpass 15,000 interactions per day since that peak.

Well he touched the Republican Party and it's for all intents and purposes dead as a party offering a choice for functional government.

 

[rareboy]

I see that the NY Times reported that he was so pissed off that it wasn't even getting 15 K hits a day that he killed it.

His base aren't likely the kind that have the attention span for a blog site and of course there was no re-tweeting or throwing the comments on to Facebook to get around their bans.

That didnt last long #ripdonaldsblog

Do you have a favourite brother Harry ?

Eric? ERIC!

That vacuous stare, the tittering, the ignorance, the questionable grasp of the English language...

Even Jared the weasel over Eric. Even though it's quite likely he'd break.

MSNBC is enjoying this.

Jason Miller told Fox News at the time that the former president was poised to "completely redefine the game" with his new tech initiative.

Right off the bat, there was an obvious problem: the new "communications platform" was little more than a rudimentary blog, utilizing technology that's existed for many years.

A week after the blog went live, NBC News reported that things were "not going well" for the former president's online home, with weak traffic and little reader engagement.

Two weeks later, the Washington Post reported that the blog was failing so badly that Trump was sliding into online "irrelevance."

So typical. Take something that already exists. Pretend it is brand new and slap your brand on it.

Wait for the money to roll in and when it doesn't...throw a tantrum and then quit rather than put in the work to make it better.

I guess though, it begs the question as to whether he is spiralling into Palin-like irrelevance and will just simply lose his audience.

* There's less than a year and a half for him to lose his audience. PLEASE, HURRY! He can't get anywhere near the Midterms (2022 elections) while still maintaining, [STRIKE]God[/STRIKE]Satan-knows-how, his credibility with such a huge cult.

For those who haven't heard, Facebook has now banned him for another two years. Hooray! (And there's no case to be made about unconstitutional suppression of speech or anything, despite what his cultists think: The Constitution does not extend the First Amendment to entities that are not part of the government.)
