I'm a decade older than both of them, and I've had a Twitter account for several years. Here's the thing: it's really easy to eliminate a dumb tweet. Just go over to that arrow at the top of your tweet, click on "delete," and voila! The stupid tweet is gone forever! Do these people not edit their own posts? Do they have failing eyesight? The average person reading these weird and offensive tweets shakes their head and wonders if the bizarre tweeter is on something. Medication? Substance abuse? or maybe it's due to just plain senility.
Perhaps it's a problem that Trump and Roseanne didn't grow up with social media, or understand the power of it for celebrities like themselves. Now, if I had made such an inane tweet as the two of them, probably nothing would have happened. My followers would simply have shrugged it off as the ranting of an old lady. Possibly, someone on Twitter would have spotted it and gotten me suspended or kicked off Twitter for awhile. But I do actually read my tweets after they are posted, so I've avoided that problem.
Trump seems to have gotten away with some of his wackier tweets, at least for the time being. But the cancellation of the Roseanne show probably put numerous of people out of work.
I hate to say it, because no one monitors my tweets and I don't want them to, but maybe, after a certain age and you're a public figure, perhaps you should give a responsible person access to your account so it can be edited. Like maybe, your little grand children?
