I want to buy a book that shows every single Tweet from Donald J. Trump, ever since he descended that elevator to announce his candidacy, through Biden's inauguration, and a little beyond...

...annotated with fact-checking, and historical context.

Probably with a few lines from speeches thrown in as well. To really document the heck out of how insane those years were.

>descended that elevator

escalator

My favorite was the Twitter account to see if it would get banned by only retweeting Trump's account(s). They wanted to show how the rules were applied differently between accounts.

My favorite is when like PBS tweets out the Declaration of Independence on the 4th of July, and right-wing nutjobs accuse it of being un-American.

I had to look that up.

Here is what happened, the documents gets split into 5000 tweets. Twitter will randomly include one tweet in a feed and someone will respond. For example one person said what npr is calling to overthrow the government because the specific text has a reference to that.

Didn't see any unAmerican comments. Saw comments like tweeting 5000 tweets is a stupid thing to do.

Not sure if nutjob should be used in 2022 to label someone you disagree with as having mental issues. Mental illness is a serious issue and using it a weapon is not something to be casually used

Yeah, you're right I shouldn't say "nutjob," I should say "ignorant and unreasonable."

Why do people only to evidence that disproves their claims? Do you think no one will click?

I think you a few words there, but if you read that link and think the people who responded to NPR sound informed and reasonable, then you and I have very different definitions of those words.

Oh yeah, that's what I meant, thanks.

I quite enjoyed the creativity that went into setting up this physical world bot to respond to Trump tweets. https://twitter.com/burnedyourtweet
