*I think* that hasn’t been settled yet.
Personally he should be able to block people, imagine if Obama’s post just got filled with shit from alt right trolls and he was required to allow it.

Obama isn't the President anymore so he can block anybody he wants. OTOH, it probably wouldn't do any good as alt-right & Russian propaganda personas can be created basically at will.

IDK, did no one watch his campaign kickoff speech? The debates? Any of his rallies?

Never started with a full deck and has been losing cards ever since.

How anyone thought..."yeah, let's give THAT guy nuclear weapons" is beyond me.
When the only other candidate was a child sex trafficking murderer who sold all of America's uranium to Russia and cheated that guy they were never going to vote for anyway, what choice did they have?

No one can make him read his twitter feed, but blocking people would be official censorship since, per the President's own words, it is being used to disseminate official information.

Pretty certain that I was saying that he was showing signs of a degenerative brain disease (alzheimers or dementia) from the beginning. I've not changed my mind about that at all.

He's been crazy AF for a long time. He's also a genius at self promotion. It takes more than that to be President, however. He tried to up his game & got in over his head.

Just saying that I could easily see any Presidents twitter feed bombarded with bots posting false shit

No, it was found unconstitutional

And he started to unblock some

He also appealed

He came down firmly on both sides of that. True believers can take their pick.

Best people, he hires the best people.

Who would have thought Trump would be the first guy to get tired of winning?

Is there any evidence that Trump personally reads replies to his tweets?

Tweeted it out not to long ago, no context. NYT op ed? Something else?

It means that, despite his weak protestations, everything in the NYT op-ed is real, factual, and descriptive enough that even a fucking idiot like Trump can tell it is actually is someone inside his admin. It's a tacit confirmation of the entire story and all of it's claims.

It means you all were duped and he really is that bad. It means it's all true.

You're characterization of the OP as being duped will concern him greatly. He will be greatly concerned that anyone could think he was duped. Its your fault that he had to vote for Trump because your concern was concerning to him.

I haven't seen any evidence that he writes them.

If Trump isn’t writing them that means some WH staffer is implicating the president in a number of felonies and hasn’t been fired yet.
