Speaking of bans - I see that Twitter banned a new account that Team Trump created - DJTrumpDesk , which was just reposting the latest missives from his new Blog , so clearly just an attempt to circumvent the ban.

Do you wonder if he will stop posting from the Desk abruptly, that it was just a publicity stunt to try and get back on twitter by proxy?

The amount of chatter about Trump, even on boards, is still almost as high as when he was in power.
People can't get enough of him.

That would seem strange.

I assume you have the data to back up your position. Lets take the period from November to Janauary, v's Feb to April. What are the stats like?

I would have expected a big drop off but maybe not.

Seems like interest in him is at an all time low both in Ireland and worldwide.

Well - There's this

Online misinformation about election fraud plunged 73 percent after several social media sites suspended President Trump and key allies last week

The other significant change is that we are now really only hearing about Trump ,we are no longer really hearing from Trump.

And judging by the noxious bile on his new Blog , that's a very good thing.

Indeed. Trump is no longer the self imposed center of the world.

Can we move on from using a Donald Trump thread to discuss people talking about Donald Trump. If you have nothing of relevance to the actual topic of the thread, just dont post.

Hard to know , but certainly the "Desk" has landed with a resounding thud.

I mean it was described as "the hottest ticket in Social Media"

"I do think that we’re going to see President Trump returning to social media in probably about two or three months here, with his own platform," Trump senior adviser Jason Miller told Fox News' "#MediaBuzz" on Sunday. "And this is something that I think will be the hottest ticket in social media, it’s going to completely redefine the game, and everybody is going to be waiting and watching to see what exactly President Trump does."

All we've got so far is an extremely cheap looking Blog page containing whiny "tweets that never were".

Given that all anyone can do with the posts is repost them to one of the mainstream Social sites , it's possible that the loss of their "redirector" account might be another nail in it's already fairly well secured coffin lid.

Unless they've got plans for further development (and I don't think they do) I suspect that it will slowly wither on the vine over the summer.

Another slap down for Trump.

Notice that the GOP isn’t trying to legislate for a breach of terms of service agreement either.

Agreed 6months since the election and he is talked about in this thread and the Biden thread everyday it seems. Wasn't expecting this when I joined.

Its fascinating.

Trump discussed in the trump thread and American politics threads, the audacity.
They’ll be discussing sports in a sports thread next.
Unbelievable.

I think some people who find it "strange" that so many people post in this and the Biden thread aren't aware that even that isn't true, because many people don't in fact post in either thread. I would say that there's about 20-30 people who are consistently active in each thread, many of which live or have lived in America or have some other connection to America.

Compare that to the number of people active on Boards every day or to a thread about a British football team and this is actually a relatively quiet thread.

the trump thread has just over half the number of posts as the Biden thread in the same timeframe. Trump is not the talking point he once was. In fact most of the thread seems to be about how irrelevant he has become.

Not to mention a lot of this thread has been about the Trumpism of the GOP and the on-going ramifications of the Capitol Riot, rather than just Trump himself.

Mostly due to his associates getting raided, his ranting on stage like a lunatic thinking he's still president or how the investigations into him are coming along.

https://www.mediaite.com/news/fec-recommends-ban-on-shady-fundraising-tactic-used-by-trump-almost-like-theft/

By an unanimous vote, The FEC is imploring Congress to legislate a ban on a practice recently reported on that caused quite a scandal this year, when it was reported that Trump's fundraising website surreptitiously checkmarked boxes for one-time donors to make donations recurring.

As the Times reported back in early April, during the 2020 election, Trump’s campaign found itself at a cash disadvantage with now-President Joe Biden, and started sending out online fundraising solicitations that made repetitive donations the default option. Some of these were set up to authorize additional donations later in the campaign, some for monthly or even weekly recurring donations. The campaign also sometimes used prechecked boxes to double the donation and made the language and disclaimers complex and confusing.

The Times interviewed multiple Trump donors who thought they were making one-time contributions and were shocked to discover thousands of extra dollars being sent to the campaign, sometimes overdrawing their bank accounts. Unhappy donors made so many fraud complaints to their banks and credit card companies that the Trump campaign issued $122.7 million in total refunds, or 10.7 percent of their total donations through the WinRed online platform, a number far above the norm for a presidential campaign.

The National Republican Congressional Committee used the practice to some degree, as did Biden's campaign, however Biden's refunds amounted to 2.2%, 1/5th of the margin on the WinRed platform with its presentation, language, etc. and the report doesn't say which cite his campaign would have pre-checked those from.

The FEC is split 3-3 GOP-Democrat and they voted 6-0 to reccomend entirely banning the practice.

It's amazing really - These people claim stuff like the above as justification/mitigation for committing criminal acts and we're all supposed to put an arm around them and tell them it's ok , it's not your fault.

But if a poor person makes reference to extreme poverty , a broken or abusive home life growing up as a defense??

Well , that's just an excuse , Buck up and accept responsibility , no one is going to give you a pass here son! , Own your mistakes , take your punishment and move on!!!

"Personal responsibility , American Exceptionalism, That's what makes America great boy!"

It'd be an insult to double standards to use the term.

It's also a bit like an abusive relationship tbh.
Graham and Ted Cruz keep crawling to Trump despite all the things he has said and done to them both.

Trumps new platform isn't going to take off, I don't think.
It's not a dialog, it's a monolog.
