Why does Trump tweet? Because he can.

This isn't complicated.

Then what does that say about YOU for reading them? You must be considering you claim to know so much about what is in them.

Since inauguration- July, 2019, Trump has tweeted about 10,000 times. The number of Tweets increases each quarter.

DOJ has deemed Trump’s Tweets, official business.

I am thinking, when the time comes for the Trump Library/ Museum, every single dated/timed Tweet of his term (s) should be on the walls, in chronological order.

Tweeting about Omarosa, nearly 2 years after her departure and a year after her book was published, is seriously goofy stuff.

Same media has no issue with Trump Tweets, including the over the top, ridiculous ones.

Obama is ranked #1 in terms of number of Twitter followers while Trump comes in at a distant #12.

Because he's a coward who can't justify his 140 character "wisdom".

1. Because a tweet is only 280 characters so it suits his intellectual level.

2. Because he's an impulsive egomaniac.

3. Because he can tweet whatever happens to enter his little head at any given moment. It's like thinking out loud, but whereas most people would stop and think twice, Trump has no such social restraint.

4. He doesn't have the intellectual ability to understand the trail of chaos his lackeys have to clean up every time he tweets out policy decisions he though up on the toilet at 3am.

Old, old saying: Loud man goes down first in a bar!

If you want a good, good laugh, picture this loud-mouth in his first hour in Boot Camp!

To go directly to the people and bypass Fake News. You may have noticed, also, that the President now conducts Press briefings and Q&A's on the White House lawn on his way to Marine One which he usually takes to Air Force One. This is so none of the media prima donnas like Jim Acosta get to be on TV. The camera is focused on the President. As a retiree, I get to see these impromptu meetings live during the day with the Press, the whole version, and not some Fake News carefully edited version of it. It was a very smart move on the part of the President. I didn't even know Acosta still had a job until he was mentioned about a week ago. He can't showboat anymore with a gotcha question since we at home only hear the question, not see who is asking it.

Every time the President tweets, no one is talking about the Democrat presidential candidates. He really is a mastermind. You just don't realize it. He's beaten everyone who has come out against him by controlling his own messaging. He's only one of the few who gets the good economy information out.
