Eric Trump Whines the #1 Issue in American Politics is That He’s Not Getting Enough Twitter Likes

By

When Satan invented the “like” button, he really did some of his best work in the last 200-300 years, that and podcasts. Is there anything more annoying than voluntarily giving away your profile and preferences so perfectly that Amazon knows exactly what you might like for Christmas? So, yes, “Like” buttons are from hell and should be banished from social media, forever. I don’t need to know if four or six people liked my Twitter post.

But Eric Trump sees trouble afoot with the “like” issue! Put simply, Eric believes that his “likes,” (and Laura Ingraham’s, as well as Donald Trump, Don Jr., and everyone else associated with Trump) are having their “likes” simply dialed down by Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and whoever else uses these platforms.

We don’t even know where to begin. First of all, Eric, your father wouldn’t be president were it not for Facebook and their activity back in the Wild West days of “fake news,” which back then meant real websites in Bulgaria or something publishing really fake news about Democrats. With the help of information given by Manafort so nicely to the Russians, they also micro-applied their message to the perfect areas in Michigan, Wisconsin, etc. So, Eric, just shut it about social media being against Trump.

Second, companies like Facebook and Twitter have almost as much money as the entire United States. They no longer care who is president, they will tell the president what to do no matter who he or she may be. If social media did play with likes, they’d probably up Trump’s since he makes more news, which means more money for them.

We suppose it never occurred to Eric that perhaps what his father and posse have been saying just isn’t as popular as it once was? Just a guess, dunno – but neither does Eric. The difference between us and Eric right now is that we’re pretty sure that COVID and its impact on the economy, schools, etc. is the biggest political issue right now.

Dummy.
