The Ex Blog
The ex-president's blog isn't doing well. https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/trumps-blog-isnt-lighting-internet-rcna890The article doesn't mention the most obvious reason why--convenience.
It's easy to check someone's Twitter or Facebook feed when you're already on those platforms. The stuff automatically comes to you. But a web site? You have to 1) remember it exists; and 2) make a deliberate attempt to visit it. The ex's junk doesn't automatically come to you anymore. The ex can't even link his blog to social media because he's been banned from it.
His more rabid followers will check on him from time to time, but as more time passes and he fails to provide them content 24/7, they'll lose interest. Predictable--and for the ex, infuriating. Good.
