He would shut up if people would stop paying attention to him.
Paying attention to him is, as we used to say on the internet, feeding the trolls.
@volkris Ignore him and laughing off the threat of him is how we got saddled with his corrupt presidency. Not again!
Who ignored him? He was on the front pages of every paper for years!
Everybody talked about him constantly, far more than was warranted, speculating and pointing fingers and generally just giving him exactly the attention that he wanted.
I don't know how you can say ignoring him is how we got saddled with his presidency when he was so clearly the opposite of ignored this whole time.
@volkris I'll ignore him when he's no longer an existential threat to our democratic republic. Until then, I comment and share so that people understand what he's trying to do.
@TomShafShafer sure, and it's social media, so of course you can post whatever you want to on it, talk about whatever you want to, but just while you're doing it, be aware of that you are feeding #Trump, supporting his campaign by giving him attention, keeping him on the minds of his supporters, and encouraging them to vote for him because that is how trolls work.
I know, it's just a drop of water in the ocean, but it is doing your own small part to promote his presidential campaign.
And I know, it's probably venting, but just be aware of that the venting does help to promote him for another term of presidency.
Just keep in mind that a troll like Trump thrives on attention, WANTS attention, so talking about him is giving Trump exactly what he wants.
His campaign would be a non-starter if he didn't have so many people yelling about him, because he can't run on his actual record.
@volkris I disagree. And with that, I'll say goodbye.
