Too bad facebook and twitter didn't kick him off during his presidency.

Trump reportedly deleted his blog because he was upset people were mocking it and it had such a small audience
Trump deleted his blog because he didn't like it being mocked, The Washington Post reported. His team originally billed it as a social-media platform that would rival Twitter and Facebook. But the blog ultimately had very little engagement and a shelf life of less than a month. Article here: link Deleting it doesn't end the mocking. For example: Donald Trump's blog lasted for almost 3 ScaramuccisLove how Chris Cillizza's mind works. You beat me to it Bills. I was going to post this same article. I have stated many times before on here I love reading Chris Cillizza's pieces. He always makes me laugh with this wit.

And yet another good read. Trump quit his blog because being an influencer required more than just wanting attentionPity the failed influencer, Donald Trump. After 29 days and only around 50 posts, Trump’s odd experiment in what his team hyped as a “new communications platform” (or at least an intern’s lunchtime side hustle) has come to an end. It reportedly met its demise because Trump had reached his limit for public ridicule — which, you know, whoa, if true. (That, after all, would be an event of far more newsworthiness than the demise of just another corporate outreach stunt, which was outdated before anyone even hit “Publish.”) A more objective reason for pulling the plug on Trump’s attempt to compensate for having been banned by every major social media outlet is that it was a whimpering failure, each pathetic bleat drowned out by the sound of millions of people paying attention to just about anything else. The Washington Post put more employee hours into finding out what was more popular than “From the Desk of Donald J. Trump” (Petfinder and the cooking site Delish) than anyone at Mar-a-Lago ever put into it. Like much of Trump’s oeuvre, “From the Desk of Donald J. Trump” was a briefly-thought-out kludge, extruded from Trump’s signature combination of whim, ignorance and sloth. Now, I’m just a simple country former Wonkette — a political blog, probably before your time — but I have some practice with both internet fame and internet obscurity, and I feel qualified to offer an expert opinion on what went wrong. (I have also read a bunch of articles about “how to be an influencer.”) To judge by my experience and several sites that promised to teach me more about influencing if I signed up for their webinar, Trump did a lot right in his post-presidency social media campaign! He identified a niche: terrified racists. He was consistent in his signature style: terrified racism. And he stayed topical, finding ways to bend seemingly irrelevant news items (the winner of the Kentucky Derby failing a drug test) into fodder for more terrified racism — Medina Spirit’s positive test was, after all, just another example of how “the whole world is laughing at us as we go to hell on our Borders, our fake Presidential Election, and everywhere else!” So, what went wrong? My would-be webinar instructors might point out his failure to “collaborate with other influencers” or “up his hashtag game” or even to “host interactive events.” But I have another theory. It’s the thirst. Trump broke the cardinal rule of fame: He made it clear how much he wanted it. Complete article here: link
