Tweeting is lame no matter who does it. And if you follow celebrities on Twitter, you should jump off a cliff. Lol...that's REALLY sad.

Just scroll down through that ^ article to see all their tweets.
Again, it's not tweeting, it's tweeting like a petulant 12 year old throwing a tantrum.

One tweet from your link
"t is with a heavy heart and deep personal conviction that I have decided not to attend the #TrumpInauguration on January 20, 2017."

Vs

".@NBCNews is bad but Saturday Night Live is the worst of NBC. Not funny, cast is terrible, always a complete hit job. Really bad television!"

He is the President Elect time to act like.

I'm not a dude, btw.

Lightbulb Why is tweeting so bad?

Short answer:

It isn't.

Qualifier:

Individual tweets can be good or bad quality.

Some folks come up with clever, entertaining or informational tweets.

Other folks tweet lies, insults, and stupidity.

Some of them should know better.

It's not about me, really. He wants to unite the country? Great! However, his words (calling people fools, losers, etc.) speak otherwise. The President calling out specific people and companies on Twitter is a bad idea. Seems like my 3 yr old whines less than him. Etc.
Okay fine, you are not leftist, you are independent but either way you are opposed to Trump.

He actually is trying to unite the country. See his acceptance speech:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=owuq_An4cnk

It was about uniting the country and helping everyone from inner cities, to rural to veterans. It of course went on deaf ears, as all his haters, went on to protest and damage properties the next day.

He has met with all types, from black leaders to environmentalists (Al Gore) since the election and has heard everyone's opinion so you can't say their voices has not been heard, a major complaint that is simply untrue.

Like I said, different styles that's all. You like one style, he likes another. You think it's not classy but he thinks differently. What makes yours better?

Photo-ops and shiny objects**** to put out there to deflect. The birther-in-chief's cabinet picks and his enormous amount of conflicts of interests says sit all. His horrid reputation speaks volumes about his self-serving agenda.

In case there is any doubt...

Trump To Keep Personal Twitter Account As President
“@realDonaldTrump I think, I’ll keep it . . . so I’ve got 46 million people right now — that’s a lot, that’s really a lot — but 46 million — including Facebook, Twitter and ya know, Instagram, so when you think that you’re 46 million there, I’d rather just let that build up and just keep it @realDonaldTrump, it’s working — and the tweeting, I thought I’d do less of it, but I’m covered so dishonestly by the press — so dishonestly — that I can put out Twitter — and it’s not 140, it’s now 280 — I can go bing bing bing . . . and they put it on and as soon as I tweet it out — this morning on television, Fox — ‘Donald Trump, we have breaking news’.”
So he ain't changing. The ball is now in everyone else's court. How are "you" going to handle his tweets?

Please, don't deflect the fact that your analogy is dumb by trying to belittle me with your "you know what an analogy is?"

Instead of throwing out lies, why don't you back it up with facts. How is Trump "anti-science, anti-facts?"

You may not realize it but being pro-Russia/Putin may not be such a bad thing.

Until any of that happens (self-serving), it's just all baseless fearmongering. With so much scrutiny and the hate from folks like you, do you really think that any selfserving won't get picked to pieces?
