Does the name ‘Donald Trump’ ring a bell?
- prmoustache 3y agoIs he still using twitter? Also: https://www.donaldjtrump.com/ https://www.donaldjtrump.com/ (which includes a news section)
- hsbauauvhabzb 3y agoNo but for a time it was his primary news distribution platform, which means it’s reasonable for some other important person to also use it as their platform.
- mminer237 3y agoExcept for sharing his mug shot, even he hasn't posted on Twitter since Biden's inauguration.
- hsbauauvhabzb 3y agoI’m responding to the parents ‘ I don't believe that anyone but Elon Musk use twitter as its only communicatuon platform.’ - at some point trump did use Twitter as his primary communication platform, whether he still does or not is largely irrelevant to the point.
- prmoustache 3y agowhat is important is that you changed the goal post. I said "only" and you moved it to "primary".
- hsbauauvhabzb 3y agoPrimary meaning first and possibly only - I really don’t know if trump had secondary platforms, but people would talk about his Twitter, not his blog. Proving it to be his only source is likely impossible to do, but also has little value (do you want to learn the latest news now or in a weeks time when secondary sources catch up?)
- hsbauauvhabzb 3y agoAnd to follow up, my understanding is that trump would post personally, not one of his PR staff, I’m not aware of him personally posting elsewhere until after he was banned from Twitter.
- mminer237 3y agoThat's present tense though. It was more popular in the past, but today, it's been relegated.
