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.

You want to argue the finer points of Nazi ideology? A bald-headed German native wanted to mass-murder a bunch of Jews. There's no need for subtlety.

People write about Nazis and fascism and other people give them a hard time for not knowing what they're talking about. Now you want to throw sarcasm into the toxic mess? Think for a second whether that makes any sense. Just say what you mean and get over yourself.
