No doubt if Trump is elected, as is looking more likely, his twitter access will be highly limited.
That's really cute. You think Trump would pay attention to anyone telling him what he can and can't do.

Allegedly it was smoking, but that was a lie. He has never quit. I doubt if he even gave up his drug use.

So, the new reason that Trump shouldn't be President is he might insult others on his Twitter account? I doubt he'll have time to do that once he gets busy with his new position as President of the United States.

I have a hard time keeping up with Obama. Have we lost freedom of speech? Yes, I know it is in the Constitution but, Obama, for some reason, has not a shed of respect for that documents and has worked so hard over the last about 7 years to take away rights of our citizens.

Can't wait for the twitter war between Kim Jong-un and Donald Trump.

Kim Jong-Un

"Trump's whole idea of being paranoid about people south of the border he totally stole from me."

Donald Trump

"what a funny looking loser"

They both have interesting hairdo. Maybe they can insult each other over that.

I think all conventional thinking goes out of the window with Mr. Trump, because he just doesn't give a poop about anything. Good or bad.

The difference might be that press briefings are vetted by multiple people, whereas Mr. Trump's 3 a.m. Twitter wars are not.

That's really cute. Do you think someone would simply ignore the very people who will keep him alive while he is in office? I don't think so.

Unlike Hillary Clinton, I don't see any reason that Trump would simply ignore mandates, rules and regulations covering security of the federal government.

The Secret Service isn't going to allow Trump to directly use twitter. Just like Obama had to give up his Blackberry.

Anyone who thinks otherwise, is just looking for more nonsense to toss at Trump.
