Sad stuff here... Maybe if he were treated like the first 44 presidents you would have a point. This has been almost a year and a half long tantrum we have been witnessing.
Yes, and I sure hope Trump stops with those soon. They're tiresome.
Trump hides behind twitter? My gawd! He tweets using his real name and then says the same thing in public. That's not being a coward. That's being straightforward and uncensored. Real talk dog!
You think a scripted press conference is real and truthful and him shooting his mouth off on twitter is fake...lies. I think you have that backwards...he doesn't think before he tweets...he seems to just let it fly.

Did you see the press conference he gave a few weeks after he was sworn in? He obviously didn't think ahead there.
To suggest anything different with Trump suggests some sort of persecution complex. Would be classified as a mental illness, but I digress...
He can't do that....he really doesn't get a fair shake from the media for what ever reasons. Want to see my point? I'm going to use NPR because if that's not neutral I don't know what is. Here's NPR reporting about Nunes's memeo on 2/2:
What's included and what's not? Really? The title alone is bias....can you see that. What does that mean....what's not included? If it's not included, it's not part of their side of the story...regardless of what they did say. In other words, regardless of what Nunes's memo says, they already see it differently and question why it does mention the things that they believe.
Quote:
For one thing, the memo does not detail what other evidence, if any, the FBI and DOJ used to ask to authorize and sustain surveillance of Page. It also does not make clear that the FISA court only reauthorizes warrants in cases that are yielding intelligence.
So what...are they reporting what his memo says or making a case for why is inaccurate? That's what the democrat memo is suppose to do, not the journalist. It doesn't mention other documents used...ok...the point one that was used is BS and everybody knows it. It must have been yielding evidence or it wouldn't have been renewed? So we don't know what it was yielding but, how about this. Page has definitely been contacting the Russians and we need to renew the wiretap to see what develops from it. That would be an example of yielding intelligence wouldn't it? I mean if he hadn't spoken to them the entire time, that would be reason not to renew it but, since he has, renew it.
I'm not sure what the last paragraph means
[QUOTEThe story has been told before, but the Nunes memo confirms for the first time that the Russia probe began with Papadopoulos and not with other evidence, including the unverified Steele dossier. The dossier was used later as part of an application for a warrant to conduct surveillance on another Trump campaign adviser, Carter Page, according to the document.][/quote]
I don't know why it says ANOTHER campaign adviser, Carter Page....unless the article is suggesting the Republican's were claiming the dossier started the investigation and it was used to authorize surveillance on Papadopoulos rather than Page....all I ever hear is Page, Page, Page!
Here's the story from NPR on 2/26 when the Democrat's gave their version:
Wait a minute, what happened to "What it says and what it doesn't say". That turned into "Fact checked"......not questioned about what it doesn't says but fact checked. Fact checked by who? Phillip Ewing, the NPR National Security Editor...lol. I can't find who the journalist is that wrote this article but, I have a feeling it's Phillip Ewing...lol. He fact checked his own report with his version of fact checking....I think.
What ever, the point is the Democrat memo is supported 100% by the journalist who reposted it compared to Nunes's memo which questioned what wasn't included.
Twitter is not the problem. It is the content of WHAT he tweets. His weird attacks and the contradictions. Remember, for every trump tweet there is a previous tweet contradicting a previous tweet. I am more alarmed by the insight into his thoughts. Unpresidential is actually a kind discription of his tweets.
Like I said it's about what would have past presidents tweeted if they could....remembering all his comments are off the top of his head with no filter..... I think past presidents have been more "Presidential" but, if they had twitter they would have blown off some crazy stuff from time to time. Maybe not like him but, if they had access, they all would have raised eyebrows... like when they drank or were pi**ed about something.
Directly from his mouth via a Press Conference. Something Trump is afraid of. He hides behind Twitter. He's a coward.
Actually anybody who "tweets" their every waking thought I consider a "scatter brain" which is what he is.
President Obama didn't even get on Twitter until late in his presidency but he is a careful orator and thinks a lot before what he was going to communicate instead.
Even Kim Kardashian has better control over her "tweets" !
Some presidents give them more than others. Back in the day it was the only way a president had for communicating with public.....radio but, very few TV's then.
Trump has only had one but, I don't think he's hiding from the press......it's best he lets Huckabee do it, if he did it more often, it would just be a lot of fighting and yelling.....that lady keeps her cool...she sounds like a robot.

.....you are not making a case whatsoever for Presidential tweeting to be a good thing (as thus far used), much less the name calling/insults/lying and all the other things that happen at @realdonaldtrump. There are plenty of former presidents and all sorts of other government people/CEOs/famous people and so on who manage to not make fools of themselves on social media
