You're serious?

The guy is communicating (through Twitter) to his millions of followers, not running the country. Hell, he hasn't even been sworn in and for weeks you snowflakes have acted like he's already running the country! <<<THAT is why you hate his tweeting. He is bypassing the media which spin every word to create their own context.

Be honest cream puffs: You wish Trump to fail which makes it plain to see how a lot many of you feel about the country.

I didn't vote for him, but I'm ashamed at how the progressive liberals are acting toward his win. It has reached absurd levels of ridiculousness.

I was right!


Paul Ryan widens the crack between Hill Republicans and Donald Trump

And this is why the majority of Americans who may or may not have voted for Trump take liberal propaganda with a grain of salt because that's all it's worth. It wouldn't matter if Trump did everything exactly the way Obama did, he would still be vilified by them. So there really is no point in even discussing these things with the left.

I vehemently disagree. Presidents must be careful about what, when, and how they communicate, because the stakes are so high. Twitter reduces the space between stimulus and response to milliseconds, and that is not enough time to weigh the impact of a public statement and make adjustments to the message. Trump likes to speak off the cuff, an attribute that is great for campaigning but not so much for governing. The Twitter account needs to go, and the sooner the better.

I'll let you dems decide for yourselves which category they fall into.
Yes it's Trumps intellectual superiority when he tweets that has us all worked up.

Actually there's nothing he could do to please the partisans who care more for the D than anything else.

The problem is the Dem's squandered their chance and now sit in the back of the room believing they're still running the show.

Their denial is so sad really

The Obamacare Repeal just passed in the House, and there were about 30 Dem's who voted Yay - there's still hope for the moderates in the party.

Happy Friday the 13th

At first I didn't but seeing how he is getting past the lying media who's goal is to demonize him, I now think it's a great idea. I now have him on my twitter feed to hear what he has to say without the spin of the main stream liberal media.

psst. I added him after the disgusting attack from CNN and BuzzFeed. It will be along time in hell before I ever vote Democrat again.
