2. Totally agree especially about him needing to be forced to do it

You're completely right here! Social consensus or it appearing like "everyone" agrees with you is very powerful and I think the bots are the main reason Trump still has so much support.

The solution is states should force Facebook to remove the bots since I suspect the federal government isn't going to do it now because of the current makeup of congress and of course the president is totally owned by Putin.

Another thing we should all be doing is teaching students to recognize bots and fake news like what Finland is doing: https://apnews.com/article/fake-news-classrooms-finland-russia-194b32d8829838bfe47469d6ff357689
