Total President

Shivanku Kumar Fnu

The president-elect has some nasty things to say about you. Follow @realdonal to find out.

Description

The current political climate has become much like a reality TV. Instead of watching substantive news about our government and people who are running it, we are stuck in the vicious cycle of cheap entertainment. Much like a reality TV, creating controversy is appreciated by the media and is given insane amount of coverage. The rise of Donald Trump can be linked to this phenomenon. He understood this and gave the media and the people what they wanted.

This twitter bot is a parody on the same. All the followers of the bot get constantly engaged in a reality TV like insulting and gossip by the bot.
