Trump finally has his Twitter account taken away from him

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha


Trump still privately muses about all the ways he will punish his enemies after Election Day, including a threat to fund a “super PAC” with vengeance as its core mission.


Donald Trump aides took away the candidate's Twitter access


With just days to go until Election Day, @realDonaldTrump has gotten a little bit quieter.

Republican nominee Donald Trump’s aides have finally taken control of his Twitter account away from the candidate.

Twitter is where Trump has often gone to vent his frustrations throughout the 2016 campaign -- at other candidates, at the media, or at whatever situation is on his mind. Most candidates’ social media accounts are controlled by aides, but Trump has been known to tweet himself -- and has occasionally driven the news cycle with even a single post on the social media site.

One of the most infamous of those tweet-storms came shortly after 3 a.m. on Sept. 30, when former Miss Universe Alicia Machado was speaking out about the way he treated her after she won the pageant in 1996. “Wow, Crooked Hillary was duped and used by my worst Miss U.,” he tweeted. “Hillary floated her as an ‘angel’ without checking her past, which is terrible!”

In the last 24 hours, most of Trump’s tweets have been thanking the people of various battleground states he has visited for campaign rallies (“Thank you Iowa - Get out & #VoteTrumpPence16!” read one tweet from Sunday afternoon).

Donald Trump is not sleeping much these days.

Aboard his gold-plated jumbo jet, the Republican nominee does not like to rest or be alone with his thoughts, insisting that aides stay up and keep talking to him. Trump prefers the soothing, whispery voice of his son-in-law.

Trump requires constant assurance that his candidacy is on track. “Look at that crowd!” he exclaimed a few days ago as he flew across Florida, turning to his young press secretary as a TV tuned to Fox News showed images of what he claimed were thousands of people waiting for him on the ground below.

And Trump is struggling to suppress his bottomless need for attention. As he stood next to the breakfast buffet at his golf club in Doral, Fla., eyeing a tray of pork sausages, he sought to convey restraint when approached by a reporter for The New York Times.

“I’m on message,” Trump asserted, with effort. “I’m not playing around. In fact, I’m a little nervous standing here talking to you even for just a minute.”

In the final days of the presidential campaign, Trump’s candidacy is a jarring split screen: the choreographed show of calm and confidence orchestrated by his staff, and the neediness and vulnerability of a once-boastful candidate now uncertain of victory.
