The press has a job to do and he should realize that.

Unfortunately, I don't give Trump much time before he reverts back to his old ways..

Maybe the press does not have to be antagonistic or juvenile towards a President of the United States.

As a lawyer I am horrified by the idea of anyone important sending out unproofed written material. Including Tweets and social media posts.

You must be hair on fire horrified when they give a press conference and have to answer any questions that come up, without putting it through a lawyers filter. Maybe that is as good a reason as any to not have one.

I fact if they wanted to play it safe they wouldn't campaign in person or say anything to voters. Perhaps politicians for their our protection shouldn't have the first amendment rights. Then we could have cookie cutter politicians. A lot like we had before Trump. They always know what to say even when they don't believe it.

LOL. Of course, we have no idea how many of his tweets are his and how many ARE proofed and sent out by staffers.

I find it quite annoying that I have to go to twitter to find out exactly what the Pres is saying because the media spin on what he says or does cant be trusted.

Whatever the media wants is exactly what he shouldn't do, so if they don't want him to tweet then he should tweet more.
Same goes for everyone in the world.
If the media wants one thing, do the other.

So the POTUS should act like a petulant five year old according to you? Sounds about right

No but I think he should use twitter regularly.
Trump's twitter wins him elections, and more importantly it connects him with Americans.
