Trump aides revoke the man-child's Twitter privileges. Lower chance of winning if they let Trump be Trump.

"Aides to Mr. Trump have finally wrested away the Twitter account that he used to colorfully — and often counterproductively — savage his rivals. But offline, Mr. Trump still privately muses about all of the ways he will punish his enemies after Election Day, including a threat to fund a “super PAC” with vengeance as its core mission..

Several advisers warned him that he risked becoming like a wild animal chasing its prey so zealously that it raced over a cliff — a reminder that he could pursue his grievances and his eagerness to fling insults, but that the cost would be a plunge into an electoral abyss.

Taking away Twitter turned out to be an essential move by his press team, which deprived him of a previously unfiltered channel for his aggressions.

I will really miss his unfiltered remarks. They are very entertaining and revealing of his character.

Shows Trump is willing to listen to reason and is not the wild card his opponents make him out to be.

I hear Pence will be designated the nuke guy. Planned Parenthood locations better look out.

His own people don't even trust him to run his Twitter account, yet people want him representing the US in talks w/ Russia, China, and Mexico? This election has made it clear that a significant share of Conservative voters are idiots that don't understand how the world works.

I will say Hillary understands how the world works and is doing her share of thieving.

Taking away his account now is like locking the barn after the horse has disappeared.

One way or the other, his campaign will be over in two days. I don't know about anyone else, but my memory is a good deal longer than that.

Is this what passes for news now? "Like a wild animal chasing its prey so zealously.........."??

It took four "reporters" to write this drivel. It's not just drivel because it's about Trump. It would be drivel if it was directed towards Clinton as well.

You should expect better from those working for so-called national news organizations. We all should.
