If you gotta go back to a guy who hasn't been President in almost 20 years...
This is stunning.
CNN reports that Russian trolls created over 100 Facebook events between 2015 and 2017, once even organizing opposing protests, pitting Americans against each other.
In one case, the troll group organized and promoted two opposing events on the same day at the same location in Houston, Texas.
"Heart of Texas," a page that posed as a pro-Texas secession organization, promoted a "Stop Islamization of Texas" protest at the opening of a library at an Islamic Center on May 21, 2016. The same troll group used another page, "United Muslims of America," to promote a "Save Islamic Knowledge" event at the same time.
The Russian group spent $200 promoting the events on Facebook, the company told Congress last fall.
There is the perception that he censors himself less than other politicians, who are less likely to tell people what they really believe.
There was a Meet the Press video about all the behind the scenes revisions of a single Hillary Clinton tweet, which highlights the contrast.

I'm not trying to suggest Hillary is entirely unique in this regard. I'm sure Mitch McConnell and others are equally careful, but carefulness can leave the impression that a politician doesn't want voters seeing who they really are.

When it comes to politics where words convey power, sometimes tremendous power, I’d prefer the men and women in that profession take measured, careful and deliberate responses when it comes to social media instead of loose cannons like Trump who carelessly shoot from the hip and end up being seen as idiots and/or jackasses. I’m sick to death of hearing how Dolt45 is “telling it like it is”, no, he’s just spewing whatever bullshit comes to mind and then becomes part of the public record.

You also have to pair this up with the cult-like mentality around Trump. His voters have often changed their own stances to match him rather than claiming that they don't agree with everything he does. When you have that, the followers will often insist that what their leader says is the truth even in the face of evidence to the contrary.
So if I tell someone that they live in a shithole cause it doesn't look like my house, break apart families and say that they are a bunch of rapists and murderers with nothing to back up that claim, pick fights with people over Twitter, I.D the guy carrying the Nuclear football with a photo OP, I'm not an asshole I'm telling it how it is?
