Michelle Obama is classier than most, no question about that, in spite of the names they called her.

If Republicans in Congress really would have opposed Obama, they would have impeached him.

It's not about using Twitter.

It's the content of the stuff he puts out there...and later deletes...and puts out there...and later deletes, ad nauseum. It reflects a guy that acts and speaks before thinking.

You guys are all excited about how you plan to criticize the next President. When you should be rooting for him to succeed so that things are better for the country.

Good example of Cutting off your nose to spite your face!
Did you follow your own advice during the 8 years Obama was president? You rooted for him? You denounced Republican tactics of obstructing everything Obama put on the table?

Republicans are masters at cutting off their noses to spite their face. They wanted so badly to make Obama look bad and to try to take him down, they were willing to do ANYTHING to achieve that.

They make it seem like it's so weird that Trump uses Twitter. Like it's something Presidents or Presidential candidates just don't do.

Hillary was blatantly using Twitter to troll Trump during her failed campaign.

Just another example of the hypocrisy.

Bingo.

I don't have a Twitter account (and don't intend to get one), but I do read other people's public tweets, especially when something is trending.

And yes, everyone else can take to various social platforms--except Trump, apparently. Case in point: Christiane Amanpour's diatribe in which she laments the election results and, particularly, the fact that Trump was saavy in doing an end run around us, and went directly to the people.

Sacre bleu! The horror! Imagine the nerve of Americans not needing YOU, Christiane, and your ilk to filter our news.

Isn't technology wonderful?

Yes it's similar to the way CNN said told viewers that it was illegal for them to view Wikileaks
But it's different for journalists..

They've already proven to be biased and not trustworthy yet they are crying wondering why people no longer trust them . They created their own problems just like Hillary did .

Unfiltered through the media. Straight from the horse's mouth.....
The left hates it. They want the media to be able to put their spin on it.

I'm a "righty" that voted for Trump and hate the fact the guy is typing on Twitter. He's the President Elect for crying out loud. Act like it.

Time to put the twitter account on hold, or he will justly face criticism from even people like me that cast him my vote.

One thing Trump needs to do better is operating out of the spotlight.

I think he has a huge upside and potential to turn things around in this country, so he got my vote.

I will not support and defend any stupid thing he says or does though, and typing his feelings into his daily Twitter update for all the world to see for the POTUS is downright dumb.
