Trump is so frustrated by his Twitter ban that's he's writing out insults and asking aides to tweet them, report says

Former President Donald Trump is so frustrated by being barred from Twitter that he's writing down insults and trying to get aides to post those messages from their own accounts, The Daily Beast reported this week.

Sources close to Trump told the publication that he saw the political fate of Rep. Liz Cheney, the third-most-powerful Republican in Congress, as key to his hold over the GOP.

Cheney was one of 10 Republicans who voted to impeach Trump over the Capitol riot on January 6.

Trump was deprived of his most important tool for rallying supporters and attacking opponents when Twitter permanently suspended him from its platform in the wake of the insurrection.

Trump has instead "written out insults and observations, several of them about Cheney," and, unable to tweet them himself, "has resorted to suggesting put-downs for others to use or post to their own Twitter," the Daily Beast report said, paraphrasing a source.

Biden is showing his maturity, Trump is still showing what a spoiled child he's always been.

Looks like some more bans are coming soon.

If this is cancel culture, I'm all for it.

I just love the mental image of the impotent fat fuck sitting on his goddamned toilet, turning red with rage, and unable to project his stupid, petty, insipid, typo-ridden filth out into cyberspace...

He could hand-write his insults, address and stamp the cards, and send them to his adoring followers.

Trump thrives on chaos. If he can't create chaos, he's unhappy. I am loving the fact that we don't have to hear about his hateful tweets.

All we have to do is stifle that Greene woman, avoid McConnell's comments, and ignore Ted Cruz.

I hope Twitter doesn't falter in their resolve to ban Trump.

Also, isn't it nice to go to sleep and not wake up wondering if we are at war, if there is martial law, or if he killed someone? I am truly thankful for the Dem turnout to oust this wannabe dictator and restore our Democracy.

And, of course, to the Georgia Peaches who turned out to make McConnell the MINORITY leader. It just can't be thanked enough.

Yes! It’s wonderful to feel stress free. And even better to see how fast and well the Biden Administration is working!

Trumpy's instructions. No one bothered to point out to Trumpy or the FL Governor that there was little they could do about it.

could affect national leaders. Even at that, the FL SC will likely (yeah, I know, R's) strike this mess down.
