I totally agree - I can't believe he is still having these little temper tantrums.
He (or one of his staff) deleted one of the tweets about Hamilton, my understand deleting tweets after he is president is a crime?
I wouldn't think a tweet is an official communication.
They ARE unprofessional and probably the dumbest thing he could be doing at this point (he is off to a fairly solid start except for the darned tweets), but there's nothing illegal about being unprofessional.
I agree Trump needs to reign it in. Not everybody needs to know every passing thought.
Good news is they take your cell phone when you get inaugurated.
Tweeting is not really cutting edge modern communication...it is still social media and is actually a very trivial and irresponsible form of communication...it is NOT Presidential.
I woke up this morning to hear that TRUMP was bickering with entertainer Alec Baldwin. The two were having a tweeter tiff about Baldwin's latest satire of the president elect.
This is utter foolishness...Having met and observed a member of Baldwin's family in a working environment...I came to the realization that the Baldwin family is not that smart...that Alec is the only one that is even presentable to some degree.
Trump has really let me down...People assume that rich people are all smart...I am a little shocked how dumb Trump might be...YOU are the president for God's sake...you are no longer a reality TV personality...YOU do NOT involve yourself in personal conversations on line...with a damned actor...Baldwin is a guy who plays let pretend for a living...I do not want to see a President who demeans the office by lowering himself - by tweeting like an angry status seeking teenager.
I just hope that TRUMP understands the weight of his office....perhaps rather than sit in bed tweeting to some entertainer that he might be being briefed on the horrific situation in SYRIA ....He can NOT be a silly reactionary kid watching Saturday Night Live....and reacting to some stupid skit where he is being portrayed in a negative satirical manner. Donald....you are a big boy now....NOW...get to work...
Firstly - I am up here in Toronto...of course I did not vote... I am just a Canadian observer. Hilary was a disaster as far as ethics was concerned. Having said that - I like a lot of people simply wanted to see a change in American politics...so IF I was American I probably would have voted for Trump/ and yes I was pleased that he won.
NOW...that he has secured the position - I really expected him to understand who and what he now is...The PRESIDENT of the most influential and powerful nation on earth.
Myself I am just some poor aging artist and musician. I have no formal education but even I understand the gravity of the situation.
The stark reality is that the America electoral system is about who had the money to run for President...who had the contacts and how has the notoriety to run. You down there in the states had no real choice ...not for the last couple of decades.
You had this rich old buffoon and the wicked witch of the west to choose from. There has to be a strong concerted effort to manage what you ended up with...It is up to the citizens of America to ensure that the person elected to preside over the nation is under control.
This is the time for pro-active involvement in government...not protesting...not whining and crying like babies...but to stand up and get involved. If you allow these leaders to run wild - you are going to have a problem
People have to understand that YOU each and everyone of you are PRESIDENT.
In my life I have been prosperous and I have endured being on welfare....during my lowest times...I communicated with a former brother inlaw who controlled billions of dollars...and he was wise enough to ask me for advice...This guy was much richer than Trump...but he knew that he did not KNOW everything...Trump had better take advice...as for his damned smart phone...put it down....
He should be using a regular secure phone and communicate with those that matter. Dealing with entertainers is absolutely trivial and useless. Rome is burning...put out the fire.
The child the OP describes in his post is exactly the juvenile mentality many of us saw and pointed out--again and again and again. And yet, you sound surprised that he behaves like a middle schooler now, when he behaved like a middle schooler throughout the entire campaign.
What's foolish is to expect a 70 year old man to suddenly change. And as we discovered earlier this month there are millions of truly foolish voters in this country.

It's official enough for Obama's tweets to be preserved in the National Archives.
Who did you think you were voting for, OP? Because the child you describe in your post is exactly the juvenile mentality many of us saw and pointed out--again and again and again.

Guessing you didn't read his post above yours. He's a Canadian living in Canada
