I never understood these accounts. If I get ignored by most people, such an account would be obvious.

We’ve seen several politicians do this… it’s wild how much power one can have and yet be so technologically illiterate and/or sloppy
Maybe he was cut-and-pasting someone else?
Will be googling for hours, thanks!
