Aimed at Trump. They don't like him spewing off with truth.

        Anonymous, 28 Jun 2019If 'banter' came from entertainers or as part of runnigngag... moreAye, banter is pure unadulterated enjoyment! FUN! World, let's have a lough for #$%@#^ sake instead of constantly being offended.

        Who cares if the US P.... wants to make a fool of himself, perhaps the mighty American public will ignore him. Who cares if "social media" has made idiots have a voice, why not? It's a free world! You don't need to listen, read, see the tripe that they come out with, but hey... some of it's very funny!

        If you want to know what banter is... get yourself to the best wee country in the world... Scotland and you can have a wee laugh with anyone you like because nobody cares if your serious or not, we all just have a laugh! Go on, try it, you might might you like it!

                                  Trump has or should be using POTUS Twitter account, the reason he doesn't is it would not be allowed

                                  This is Twitter which has rules just like we all do, if you invite Elmore someone into your house, they do not get to urinate on the carpet or in any way desecrate or vandalise your property

                                  Twitter does not belong to Trump to say or do what he pleases unlike you or I he has a press secretary to get his message out.

                                  It is the same for everybody if you join a club, you play by their rules

                                  There is no Freedom of Speech Issues,

                                  Anyone who thinks Trump gets re- elected forgets that there are more than 20 "criminal" investigations into Trump, do despite Mueller (2019/07/17 Congress) and his report, Trump had refused to release his Tax Return which no doubt will verify what Michael Cohen has stated

                                  Just to keep this short 6 years of Tax Return being audited for two years now, if that is the case how long did it take to prepare?

                                  The may sayers need to remind themselves that one of the crimes M Cohen was jail for means Trump is a un-indicted co - conspirators
                                  as President he cannot be indicted

                                  It is not just his abuse of speech, it is his abuse of every thing from comments about the independent Treasury to his abuse of Tariffs, which are against the WTO rules

                                      from the president of USA? (or any country for that matter) There are certain behaviours and attitude one woul expect as the top of chain of command.

                                      Also, does anyone think that Trump tweets are banter? He is just outright wrong in so many things he says or 'claims' with no source material. Quoting wrong things are Trump and Fox news specialty on Twitter.

                                      Social media is the worst thing that has happened, as it gave voice to idiots, paranoid nut-jobs and their message spreads and other idiots believe it. We live in 21st century where Flat Earth society exists, as well as anti-vax is a thing. Next thing you know, gays and lesbians are cause of bloody hurricanes in the USA.
