After ~50,000 tweets and single-handedly keeping the platform relevant for five years, Donald Trump was invited to leave Twitter in January and not come back.
The Donald has taken to publishing his own blog where he has posts that are a whole five sentences long! Who says you can't teach an old Don new tricks?
Joe Biden is continuing the disturbing trend started by Donald Trump of spending millions of dollars to send letters to Americans telling them what a great and wonderful guy he is because he signed a bill.

“… isolationist, protectionist, and to a certain extent, nativist” George W. Bush said of today’s Republican party. As contrasted to the warmongering, profiteering psychopaths of the Dubya administration.
“What’s really troubling is how much misinformation there is and the capacity of people to spread all kinds of untruth,”
