The Russian Bots arent working well on twitter

Just got one of them replied to opne of my tweets, the usual thing , a twitter account, Trump supporter, MAGA, USA flags, the usual
hashtags.

Well one of these accounts just liked an anti trump tweet I did.

I guess the bot thing misread the wording of my tweet.

You would think some computer tech geek guy/girl could really throw a spanner into the works.

Creating millions of bots that dont do what putin/trump wants them to do.

Ha, that's rich. Turned out the poster was a Russian bot. Blocked, reported, deleted.
