I just don't understand (much less respect) this every pressing need to publicly acknowledge/defend/respond to any criticism he receives on social media or the news.
Why won't his focus turn to more important national matters?
You are the president! Behave with some modicum of decency and respectability. Behave like an adult. You knew what you were getting in to. Focus on what's important and stop having these childish and petty knee jerk reactions to everything people say about you!!
Geesh..
What's not to understand?
It takes 30 seconds to post that tweet. How does that conflict "important matters"? What he does in is spare time is his rights, and he is not even in the job yet.
And is it really petty? If the original comment is not significant, why is it news on every newspaper? And questioning the legitimacy of the president is "not important"? really?
People are falling all over themselves to defend John Lewis, the same civil rights icon who compared Michael Brown to Emmitt Till and the black lives matter movement as the new civil rights movement. Why doesnt anybody really look at Birmingham, Selma and black urban areas all over the country in the post civil rights era?
Selma is the eighth most dangerous city in the country. A new study has named Selma. Alabama’s most dangerous city. and the eighth most dangerous city in the country, with a violent crimes per 1,000 rating of 13.70 and a property crimes per 1,000 rating of 105.05.
Birmingham, long a place that has hovered near the top of nationwide crime rankings, notched the 5th spot in violent crime, property crime and overall crime among large cities in the latest batch of crime statistics released by the FBI.
John Lewis's Atlanta landed at No. 14 in the nation for its rate of violent crime when the Federal Bureau of Investigation released statistics last year that applied to 2015.
The decline of black neighborhoods, hopeless inner cities, the break down of the black family in post 1960s america, out of wedlock rate for african americans and on and on with the failures of civil rights movement/great society/war on poverty and welfare programs and the reality of post 60s life in alot of urban america
Why is calling out John Lewis on the whole debacle of civil rights movement/great society/war on poverty and welfare programs a bad thing
White people have pretty much abandoned Birmingham and have moved to nearby white suburbs. You would think this would be a great thing for the black folk of Birmingham: those white racists have quit town and left them to themselves. But no: I've read that many black people are trying to move to those white suburbs. Interesting thing, that.

Yes sir but "black flight" is rarely discussed. A real pattern of the black middle class abandoning the inner cities which is their right but it shows how fake all this race stuff is. Garbage like blm gives middle class blacks and whites a way to appear involved when most of these urban areas are a huge result of black middle class leaving and the breakdown of families
Why does everyone keep referring to the "Russian Hacking"? There was no Russian hacking. Maybe there was an attempted Russian hacking (like there is every day, by every country against us), but the closest thing to a hacking was Jon Podesta falling for a phishing scam.
