N.S. university student's 'Trump Regrets' Twitter account goes viral

It's been less than two weeks since his inauguration, but one could argue no president in history has set off a social media firestorm quite like Donald Trump.

Now, a Maritime-run Twitter account that curates some of these opinions has gone viral.

Erica Baguma says she started the @Trump_Regrets account after she came across tweets expressing disappointment the president wouldn't be pursuing charges against Hillary Clinton.

“I was so shocked to see there were so many people feeling betrayed and I figured if so many people voted for him just for that one reason, then there are probably a lot of other single-issue voters, so I decided to start keeping track,” says Baguma.

The University of King's College student created the account in November, just days after Trump was elected. It's grown rapidly over the past two months and now has over 148,000 followers.

“It shows the power of social media and how quick something that resonates with people can really take off and get a life of its own,” says social media expert Ross Simmonds. “When I heard it was a local person, it just blew my mind, and I was pretty proud to know it was a Nova Scotian that created it.”

@realDonaldTrump Im starting to regret voting for Mr. Trump. Feels like i been conned. Hope not. Please make america great again like u said

— Jeff Byrd (@JeppydoveJeff) February 1, 2017

@realDonaldTrump Seriously? Stop with the tweeting. Enough name calling. You're the POTUS. Don't make those who voted for you regret it

— MLTville (@MLTville) January 31, 2017

@realDonaldTrump I voted for you cos I thought maybe it was a good idea to shake things up a bit in politics. Biggest regret of my life!

— James Connor (@ConnorJame) January 31, 2017

Simmonds says he isn't surprised to see the account take off.

“People are going to speak their mind and if they're able to retweet and get it out there for more people to see, people will continue to follow it, because it validates their belief that they shouldn't have voted for Trump, so that's why they’re following in the first place.”

TV personalities Mark Cuban and Rosie O'Donnell both follow the account and TV producer Dan Harmon and billionaire Chris Sacca have tweeted about it.

“It's cool, I mean, obviously it's not really me, I'm just retweeting people, but it's fun to kind of interact with people. Sometimes they'll tweet to me like, ‘Thanks for doing this,’” says Baguma.

@KellyannePolls I am so deeply ashamed I voted for this vain, lying man-not a man, a spoiled toddler.

— Jack (@jackmackie46) January 27, 2017

#pelositownhall I'm a Republican & due to trumps actions im ashamed that I voted & campaigned 4 him This is not what I voted 4@NancyPelosi

— Johnathan Ellison (@1969poppop) February 1, 2017

@realDonaldTrump I supported you, but I also know right from wrong. Are you going to persecute all muslims for the wrong doing of a very few

— Alvin (@Alvinclarke11) January 29, 2017

@realDonaldTrump cmon Trump, stop with the name calling and unite us, I voted for you but I thought you would quit tweeting after election

— Chris parker (@Chrispa10304773) January 31, 2017

She says she will keep the account going as long as people continue to tweet about their Trump regrets.

“There's no question that if Trump is sticking around for the next four years, then she has the potential to run this thing and grow it into a million followers over the next four years,” says Simmonds.

(tonight) #PelosiTownHall on CNN at 9 pm ET from DemLeader@mail.house.gov

Follow the discussion online using #PelosiTownHall I wanted to pass along a quick note: It’s no secret that Republicans are uncomfortable addressing the facts when they speak with Americans. I’m not scared of facts. That’s why I’m excited to let you know that I’ll be taking part in a town hall discussion with Chris Cuomo tonight at 9 pm Eastern on CNN. You’ll be able to follow the discussion online using #PelosiTownHall. If the discussion is anything like the ones we’ve had in the past, we’ll have a chance to touch on many of the issues impacting Americans today, as well as Democrats’ plan for A Better Deal. I hope you’ll take a moment to tune in. thanks, Nancy DemocraticLeader.gov–Twitter–YouTube–Flickr–Facebook–The Gavel   Unsubscribe | Privacy

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi says if President Donald Trump revealed intelligence from a US ally to Russian officials, it would be "very, very damaging." Pelosi made her comments to CNN's @chrisccuomo at a CNN town hall Monday evening in the wake of a Washington Post report citing current and former US officials saying Trump revealed highly classified information in a meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Ambassador Sergey Kislyak last week. "It undermines the trust that we would have with our allies," Pelosi says. National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster pushed back on the report from the White House, saying, "I was in the room. It didn't happen." 📸Gabriella Demczuk for CNN For more from the #PelosiTownHall 📲 link in profile #nancypelosi #pelosi #cnntownhall #donaldtrump #news #politics #cnn http://ift.tt/2qnVhwz

Lawmakers From Both Sides Of The Aisle Fume Over Trump Leak Allegations

Members of Congress from both sides of the aisle were upset by revelations that President Donald Trump may have revealed highly classified information during a meeting with the Russian ambassador last week.

On Monday, The Washington Post reported that Trump had disclosed “code word” intel to Ambassador Sergey Kislyak, “jeopardized a critical source of intelligence on the Islamic State” and harmed U.S. ties with an unnamed ally.

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) characterized the report as “disturbing” and said, if true, such behavior would put “at risk the lives of Americans and those who gather intelligence for our country.”

If the Washington Post report is true, it is very disturbing. Revealing classified information at this level is extremely dangerous.

— Chuck Schumer (@SenSchumer) May 15, 2017

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) called the leak a “very serious matter” during a CNN town hall on Monday. She tweeted that if Trump “blew a classified source unwittingly, it is a problem. If it happened intentionally, the stakes are even higher.”

There’s a saying in the intelligence community: “Loose lips can sink ships.” #PelosiTownHall http://pic.twitter.com/BLZGyJum4p

— Nancy Pelosi (@NancyPelosi) May 16, 2017

Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) said such a revelation “breaks the trust of our allies and puts lives at risk.”

“If literally anyone else did what President Trump is reported to have done, there would be an immediate criminal investigation,” Booker stated.

— Nick Corasaniti (@NYTnickc) May 15, 2017

Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, described Trump’s alleged behavior as a “slap in the face to the intel community.”

Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-Fla.) went one step further.

“I believe that the president is desperate for attention and needs psychological help,” she said in a statement provided to CBS Miami.

Other Democrats also chimed in:

(1/3) If true, this report is very troubling.

— Senator Angus King (@SenAngusKing) May 16, 2017

On the Republican side, Rep. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) said the White House has “to do something to bring itself under control and in order.”

“Obviously, they’re in a downward spiral right now, and they’ve got to figure out a way to come to grips [with] all that’s happening,” Corker said.

House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) had a more subdued reaction. Through a spokesperson, his office said “protecting our nation’s secrets is paramount,” then requested a “full explanation of the facts.”

— Abby D. Phillip (@abbydphillip) May 15, 2017

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) called the report “disturbing,” but also noted to The Associated Press that the president “does have the right to do that.”

Other GOP lawmakers expressed similar thoughts, reiterating concerns about the cozy relationship the Trump administration seems to have with Russia.
