Can we please stop reposting everything Trump writes?
It defeats the purpose of trying to ignore him
In light of former President Trump’s legal woes, the internet has been inundated with Trump’s social media posts. And it is really annoying. After being booted from mainstream social media, Trump created his own social media platform. Most everyone was perfectly happy to let him scream into the void away from their Twitter feeds. So why do we keep reposting his posts?
Media has been more than happy, eager even, to parade Trump’s 3 AM ramblings to the masses continuously. Again. It is like he never even left Twitter to begin with. If people truly believe that Trump is an awful disruptive force tearing the country's fabric apart, you would think they would stop hanging on his every word.
The usual suspects are all here.
- Salon: Trump flips out at DA on Truth Social after felony charges leak: He should “INDICT HIMSELF”
- Axios: Trump’s social media posts singled out at arraignment
Even Rolling Stone got in on the action.
And unsurprisingly, it is driving traffic to Truth Social.
