Trump Says Twitter Is Boring And Dying Without Him On It

During a lazy interview with his daughter-in-law Lara Trump, Donald Trump claimed that Twitter was now super boring because he isn't there, then went on to say that the entire platform is actually dying without his presence. This is about as narcissistic as a human being can get, and Twitter's numbers are still perfectly fine and profitable - for now. Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

During an interview late last week with his daughter-in-law, Laura Trump. Donald Trump proudly proclaimed that Twitter is boring as hell these days because he is not on there, right? And without Trump, who even wants to be on Twitter, right? There's nothing going on. Nobody's talking about anything he says. So take a look at Donald Trump being the biggest narcissist on the planet, claiming that Twitter somehow can't survive if he's not on that platform. Here it is.

The last time you were on was Spring of 2021 on our show. And almost immediately, uh, social media, big tech deemed our interview so dangerous that they took it down within hours of being posted. And they said it was, and I quote for sharing your voice. So how quickly do you think they will remove this very dangerous interview of a daughter-in-law speaking with her father-in-law?

Well, they're very dishonest people and it's very bad for our country what's happened. And interestingly, that was about a year ago. But uh, they've done very poorly since then. Their numbers are way down. And it's true. Some people said that it was one of the worst decisions made in all of business taking me off because they've become very boring. Uh, they've lost so much and they've lost excitement. I mean, there was no, there's no excitement, there's no anything. There's nothing to talk about.

Now, we have seen plenty of instances of Donald Trump's narcissism coming out, you know, full swing over the years. So that's nothing new. I think what is new is this level of narcissism he has now hit, right? Like claiming that an entire social media platform that has nothing to do with him somehow cannot survive without him. And their numbers are terrible. The numbers are just getting worse and worse by the day. Twitter has 330 million active monthly users and for those keeping score at home, that is roughly also the entire population of the United States of America. Not all Twitter users obviously are in the United States, but they're doing just fine, right? They're still making money. The Twitter has not torpedoed itself because they're not letting Trump on the platform. Now, however, are Twitter's numbers down from what they had been? Yes, they are. They're also down from the year before that and the year before that and the year before that and that and that and that and that and that and that and that last 10 years, Twitter has steadily been losing users since 2012.

So has Facebook that has nothing to do with Donald Trump. That was long before like this decline that is happening, but still not enough to really even hurt. The social media networks has been happening since 2012. So it's not because Trump's not allowed on there. But again, back to the narcissism, like there's nothing to talk about. There's nothing to talk about without you on Twitter, dude, I tweet all day every day. I'm constantly on Twitter. I'm retweeting things. I'm looking at things. A lot of 'em don't have anything to do with you because you are not the only human being on the planet. But in his world, he is right. He's the main character. He is the only one that matters. All of us are just the extras in the Donald Trump show. We don't matter. We're not even real. We don't have any speaking lines. So that's why this man thinks that nothing can exist outside of him.

You know, he is like an infant that hasn't even discovered object permanence yet. You know, if he's not on Twitter, Twitter just, Oh, it doesn't exist. This is not so behavior from the former president of the United States, possibly even more, not so than what we're used to seeing from him. But there's also another reason, of course, why he's out there trying to proclaim that Twitter is dead. Cuz as we all know, Donald Trump's got his own dying social media platform to promote truth, social truth, social, which by the way is in dire straits at the moment, financially, legally. And of course with the potential merger, all of that appears to be falling apart. The platform doesn't have enough cash to keep it going for more than six months. They're in real trouble. So the best way Donald Trump can help that is by trying to claim that the other social media sites are dying, but they're not.
