Generally speaking, I would like to see Pres. Trump get off the Twitter stuff but I understand why he uses it. I don't think he always gets a fair shake with the media, but his Twitter use seems to cause more problems than it's worth. It also has to be a PR nightmare for his staff. I'm sure they cringe every time he puts something out there.
I can't wait for one of his goonies to throw his hands in the air and say 'I quit, can't defend this buffoon for another day and lose any credibility and respect from everyone...'
Trump absolutely has to keep tweeting. It's his only hope of changing the narrative from his stumbling disaster of an administration and what's with all the Russian connections.
Though, Trump refuses to present a shred of evidence that Obama wiretapped his tower and several have denied it ever happened, a poll on this forum is showing that nearly half believe it.
Announcing it at a rally where he is also boasting that he won by a landslide, etc. just gets it wrapped up in his other nonsense.
The two bolded statements above go together, and explain why he will never stop tweeting. Because it works. His idiot supporters believe everything he says without question, so whenever the heat gets turned up--like now with his connections to Russia being examined--he will just tweet out nonsense to change the subject.
Why would he stop when it works so well? Look at the idiots right here on C-D who buy whatever he is selling.
Amid many other sources. What is wrong with this guy? Does he really think people are so dumb they are going to believe everything he says, and not check up on these easily verifiable statements?
I am forced to acknowledge JAMS14: "Why would he stop when it works so well?" - based on the comments from the Trump supporters on this thread. Apparently they will believe whatever delusional whacko crap that Trump throws out there.
What he does is no different than millions of humans so what is your point?
The point is: He's the freaking President of the United States. Not some angst ridden teenager or a boozed up office worker. How about lending the title a little dignity?

Wonder who that will be first, Preibus or Spicer?
Just wait - the good stuff hasn't even started yet. It will get much worse. I bet Spicy goes first. Preibus is the umbilical cord between the GOP congress and Trump's camp.
Wait until Trump goes batshirt crazy against Paul Ryan and other Republicans in congress when they don't agree with him on legislative issues or if they decide to investigate him on something. At that point Preibus might resign or possibly Trump fires him in a fit of rage. Priebus is likely more loyal to congress (but fakes his loyalty to Trump) and Ryan will beg Priebus to remain in the Trump camp so he can leak the crazy man's rants and ideas to Congress.
I think Priebus is one of the leakers but there are several other in-between people that actually talk to the press.
Yes. I await the news briefs in my inbox each day with my proverbial bucket of popcorn, curious as to how Trump will dig this hole for himself a little deeper via social media. And he inevitably does. Dems have got it easy now; all they do is wait for him to embarrass himself more and more, one Tweet at a time.
I was one of those (I voted for Clinton) that hoped, and rather expected, for Donald John Trump to cease his tweets upon taking office. I figured that his staff would see that his public utterances (which, as President, carry great weight around the globe) were accurate and on point.
I guess what is the most disturbing to me, now, is that President Trump engages in his tweeting in the early morning, without any of his staff being aware of it. I read in several places that Trump's staff were as surprised as anyone else to awaken that morning and see the President's tweets about tapping and Obama.
Of course, all are worried that he will, in some fit of pique, tweet out something that will literally result in war. For instance, if he, after watching television, were to tweet something about the need to invade North Korea, the crazed leader of North Korea, not knowing that said tweets are not official policy, may decide to make a preempted attack on our 25,000 soldiers on the front line.
This seems far-fetched, but I think is actually within the realm of possibility. Other leaders (like Putin) would dismiss tweets as being inconsequential, but I doubt the dictator of North Korea would think so.
Why not use social media when you know too many news sources out there aren't reporting the news fairly? It's a way to communicate directly to the American people.

Trump uses it as a way to spew lies of diversion, in a forum where he can't be directly questioned by that pesky media--you know, the people who might actually demand that he back up his claims.
