I love his tweets, plus they connect him with the common man that will decide the 2020 election (in addition to the fact that he's signed more laws into legislation in his first 6 months than any of the last 4 Presidents - Trump 37, Obama 24, Bush 15, Clinton 33, Bush 35).
There are no prizes for acting "presidential" (that's how Bill Clinton looked while he was secretly making love to Lewinsky with cigars in the Oval Orifice).

To this day, Rather still maintains this defense, despite the fact that there has been no evidence to substantiate it.

George W. Bush did avoid active service and possibly being sent to Vietnam, by simply ignoring orders to report for duty and nothing was done to him. He had trained as a jet fighter pilot in an Air National Guard unit. Do you suppose his father's influence played a role in his being excused from duty in that way?

This was a set-up to smear Rather and they're still working at it.
Yeah, he didn't do much except get commissioned, go through flight school and pri-fly, and then get qualified to fly (and did so for several years) the F102, one of the more "interesting" Air Force jets to be built ("interesting" enough that the Air Force couldn't get them transferred to the Air National Guard fast enough).

But, he's unintentionally very amusing. I, for one, don't want to see him removed. He's causing damage to the GOP and keeping their agenda from being advanced.

MAGA

Trump's agenda is being advanced. You would know that if you would quit watching CNN, MSNBC, etc. There's actual news being reported on other channels but lefties seem to love swallowing the hatred that comes from the MSM.

Worry about the damage that the Dem party has done to itself. Your party holds the least Congressional power in decades and it's only getting worse.

I mentioned this before. I had a long drive home the day after the Mika/Joe dust up and listened to a talk radio station I'd never heard of before. Every caller was fully supportive of Trump’s tweets. The host was obviously taken aback and I was surprised too. Rinos, libs and never Trumpers just don't understand how much his supporters like his tweets. The MSM is obviously desperate for him to stop because they have to report them and they just can't help criticizing Trump, playing right into his hands.

I can see your problem. You listen to other insignificant people, and follow them like sheep. I made up my own mind about President Trump, before he was elected. I supported him, and I support him now. Put your big boy britches on and make up your own mind.

If what you say were true for more than a small segment of our population, this country would be in a desperate situation.

Yes, Dems are irrelevant. Totally powerless. The GOP and tRump are in total control. They don't need a single Dem vote to advance any of their agenda. Everything that happens since Jan 20th, they totally own.

So, what are they afraid of?

What Rather wants is a well-mannered Republican patsies like McCain, Romney or even Bush who would let the media and Demos abuse them and keep quiet.
