Much of the junk I see here quoted as being tweeted by Trump isn’t written by trump. I don’t know or care what a “retweet” signifies in terms of belief but it’s a lot less insight than his own words would give us.

That's ******* nonsense. It's not just some rando, it's the President of the United States and what he retweets provides a ton of insight into what he's thinking. Further, his brief comments attached to the tweets make clear that they are messages with which he wants to associate himself and his office.
 
Anything Trump lets someone Tweet from his account comes from POTUS, personally, as far as the Official Records Act is concerned.
Anything Trump doesn't take down must be presumed to have his consent.
 
Trump Tweets

Sean Parnell is an American Hero. Connor Lamm has proven to be an American fraud, and a puppet for Crazy Nancy Pelosi. He said he would NOT vote for her for Speaker, and did. Will kill 2A. Voted to impeach (on nothing). A TOTAL & COMPLETE Sean Parnell Endorsement!

I have zero interest in moving the Republican National Convention to Doral in Miami, as falsely reported by the Fake News @nytimes in order to stir up trouble. Ballroom is not nearly big enough & would like to stay in N.C., whose gov. doesn’t even know if he can let people in?

Sure is a nice convention plan you've made for us. Would be a shame if you didn't open your state like we's askin' you to and we had to go elsewhere.

At some point I'm waiting for the religious right to turn on trump. To say, "Hey waita minute. He isn't the chosen one. He's a false prophet sent by satan to deceive." :eek:

I don't know much about evangelical teaching, but a core principle seems to be that the Devil is real, and he is always working to tempt us and trick us. It has always surprised me that someone with Trump's history of fraud, corruption, adultery, sexual escapades, ignorance and crudeness never inspired a preacher to say "Wait a minute! Who made this guy the Chosen One? Is the Devil playing games with us?"

Schools in our country should be opened ASAP. Much very good information now available.

I give, and have given from the beginning, my entire yearly salary, $400,000 to $450,000, back to our government. Last check to HHS Covid relief. My great honor!

It helps pay a little of what ONE of his golf trips down to Mar a Lago costs.

What would be fascinating would be if he tried to move it, and all the big cities said "Not here!" The Repubs will love the facilities and infrastructure of Fargo, ND, or Butte, MT.
 
I remember my history/economics teacher friend (who is both conservative and Pentacostal) didn't like Trump at all because people kept trying to make him an American Messiah despite his history. He took his religion very seriously.

Absolutely a 1A violation. Which most Trumpers and many Trump-appointed judges would be just fine with.

Yeah, pretty much, and that's exactly what Trump has pushed for. Still, the larger strategy, when it comes to the Right, has been more in line with creating "noise," accusing Democrats of doing what Republicans are doing and intending to do as cover (which is pretty much where the 1st Amendment stuff falls), and pushing hard to teach people to commit logical fallacies like crazy.

There are some who think Trump is the Antichrist, and if you read the scripture, it is very easy to fit his description to Trump.
Very, very easy.

Spookily so.

Great reviews on our handling of Covid 19, sometimes referred to as the China Virus. Ventilators, Testing, Medical Supply Distribution, we made a lot of Governors look very good - And got no credit for so doing. Most importantly, we helped a lot of great people!
 
Trump Tweets

Nobody in 50 years has been WEAKER on China than Sleepy Joe Biden. He was asleep at the wheel. He gave them EVERYTHING they wanted, including rip-off Trade Deals. I am getting it all back!

Sleepy Joe Biden (mostly his reps.) went crazy when I banned, in late January, people coming in from China. He called me “xenophobic” & then went equally “nuts” when we let in 44,000 people - until he was told they were American citizens coming home. He later apologized!

Yes, Mr. President. It is called gathering facts before making a decision. It is a common trait among the best leaders

Maybe evangelicals are saving that for after Trump either loses the next election or the White House is won by the Democrats....

Before Trump: "The president must be Moral. Clinton must be impeached for his affair!"

During Trump: "It doesn't matter if the president has cheated on his wife or has never been to church."

After Trump: "We were tricked by Satan! We now think the president must be a godly person after all, and will now proceed to attack the Democrats because we don't think the president is Christian enough."

Also before Trump:
Obama is possessed by demons!
Obama IS a demon!
Obama is the Antichrist!
 
So back to this question of whether "social media has a left-wing bias."

Suppose, for the sake of argument, that were found to be true. And? So what of it?

It's not government media, it's SOCIAL media. Therefore, there are no restrictions on what it can and can't allow, at least politically. If they found there was discrimination against actual protected groups, that would be different.

Not that I believe it is true, but it's not the job of the government to control the speech on social media.

What it is, is an insight into what he's reading. The **** we see is just the **** he re-tweets, imagine what other **** he sees that he doesn't re-tweet.

We know he doesn't read anything of substance, like intelligence briefings, but it's scary to see what he is reading. Scary, but necessary.

When I met him he was reading World Net Daily, that was enough for me to figure him out.
