I know I’m going to get called a traitor by SOMEONE for pointing this out, but being a conservative Trump supporter doesn’t mean you have to act like a brainwashed idiot. You’re still allowed to think for yourself, and that’s exactly what I’m doing.
President Trump’s Son Eric Trump recently tweeted this.
Shocking… once again, here are the @Twitter “suggestions” of who I should follow. #DeepState pic.twitter.com/6XYUS02j34

OK– listen. There’s no question Twitter operators tend to lean to the left. You know that. I know that. Everyone knows that. But even I will say that it’s not a “conspiracy” for Twitter to suggest for a political person to follow Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama. They’re prominent political figures, whether we like it or not.
And then there’s Ellen. Sure, she’s a mega lib, but is she part of the #DeepState? I mean, she dabbed with Hillary, and it was god-awful, but I don’t know Eric. We’re entering conspiratorial territory.
Hi Eric, I know you’re not the smart one, but Twitter’s algorithm looks at who you searched for most recently when making suggestions. It looks like you might have recently searched for a Democrat, buddy.

It’s really not THAT weird. Obama was POTUS. Hillary ran for POTUS. Ellen danced with an almost POTUS. Idunno. I just don’t see this as a big deal.
This is the most unintentionally hilarious tweet of the very very new year!

It’s like I want to put it on a scale to see if it is more sad or funny.

Those deep staters love their Ellen.

Hey numb nuts. It’s derived from who you follow.

Not proud to admit this, but I would pay $20 to sit with Eric Trump for ten minutes and have him explain Ellen DeGeneres' shadowy role in the Deep State.

So… you think the “deep state” makes these recommendations? You think FBI and CIA agents are responsible for twitter’s suggestion that you follow certain people on twitter? You should focus more on “deep paranoia”

Yea that Twitter algorithm is crazy. Why on earth would it suggest you follow the people you tweet most about!?!?

Deep State Ellen Show. She sneaks into top secret areas and scares the shit outta the guards.
— Mark 'New Year, Same Shit' Blaho (@MaximumOverDerp) January 3, 2018
Ellen is part of the deep state? Are you high? You really don't understand that the people you troll on twitter, will show you who else to follow. Deep State? None of those people are in Government. Dotard, just like your father.

I follow people I don’t agree with. Yep– even Hillz. So…yeah. I think Eric’s stretching here. If you tweet or search for political people, Twitter’s going to suggest political people. The end.
