Trump’s Social Media Summit Was The Laughing Stock of Twitter

The White House hosted its Official Social Media Summit last week where, I suppose, the Trump Administration invited a few conservative, Red Hat wearing supporters that know all the words… the best 280 characters or less, anyway.

Was it really a summit? I wouldn’t call it that. It was more like a meet and greet with some adoring fans, apparently. Not much effort went into diversifying the attendees or preparation. Probably because this wasn’t the real press, these are not the journalists- the ones Trump detests and has demonized as “Enemies of the people” and “Fake News.” This was a room of social media users; His base of youtube conspiracy fanatics and loyal MAGA hashtagging Trumpians

Thus, you’d think Trump and his team would have tried harder. Alas, they didn’t. Why? Because Trump covets the adoration he doesn’t have; Those who’ve already pledged their unwavering support are not a challenge. They’ve already been converted. He could walk into the middle of Fifth Avenue and the opinion-shaping, savvy social media influencers would post an urgent status deeming him “The Bravest Presivent Ever #SecondAmendment #LockHerUp #ProudDeplorable!!!!” (sic)
