Donald Trump joins Twitch, Amazon's game-streaming service
Donald Trump is spreading his social media wings with the launch of a channel on Twitch. Trump is at least the third candidate for president to create a presence on the video game streaming service.
Trump's account, which has a verification check mark, counts about 7,000 followers but hasn't posted any content as of this writing, but the move suggests the president will use the platform to livestream videos to his supporters as part of his 2020 re-election bid. Other candidates to launch Twitch accounts include Democrats Bernie Sanders and Andrew Yang.
Although not a fan of social media, Trump is one of the industry's most prolific users, using his Twitter account to announce policy changes and criticize his opponents. His 65.5 million followers on Twitter put him just out of the top 10 most-followed Twitter accounts. He also has nearly 15 million followers on Instagram, although he posts on that account far less frequently than he does on Twitter.

It wasn't a real troll account and when it started becoming painfully obvious Trump is a criminal they bid a hasty exit.

I trolled him back so hard that he had a gender change operation and changed his name to Hillary.

You realize you are mad at him for trying to get the criminals out of our election? You are mad at him for trying to bring to justice which at this point is a fairly obvious money laundering operation. 4 of the top democrats all had kids working in the Ukraine? In a company they know jack about? That was all on the up and up. /wink /wink /nudge /nudge .... Pull the other one. Will anyone go to jail over this? HAHAHAHAHA!!!! no. Will people be impeached over it? Oh absolutely. Because 'hes a criminal' OF COURSE! Don't you know. Do not let others retranslate it to you (sitting senator!) and edit it (NBC, CBS, CNN). Or just read the doc yourself. Its on the whitehouse site. What the DNC did and the Obama admin (through Bidden) did looks more criminal in my eyes. Especially if Trump is on that account. You need to hold the DNC up to your own standards.
