It was just 8 years ago when the debate was about Obama's Blackberry- and should a president for national security reasons use one, or even a smartphone. We have come a long way since then, with a president now  using sociial media openly, with no restraint. Scary.

I never dreamed that Trump would continue to 'tweet' when he became President.  It would have been unthinkable not that long ago.  The very word sounds like teen-speak.

Also, I saw that he complains about the NYT. If he hates the NYT, then why is granting interviews to the NYT?

That was a huge, terrible, awful, gigantic mistake.  He should pretend that the NYTimes does not exist and it really doesn't anymore as a respected newspaper.

Yes, but HRC was allowing the dissemination of classified information by misuse of her Blackberry and other systems.  I don't see the equivalence here.

They obviously generate some upset in you .... perhaps it's best you just ignore them.  Your health will be better for it.

Actually, I just shake my head at them.  You see, it comes as no surprise...I'm originally from New York, and I know people who dealt with the guy.  I knew he'd never become honest, deep, thick-skinned, etc.

Don't worry about me.  I'm not a fragile snowflake like the Trump crowd who get so disrupted by anyone pointing out their charlatan's weaknesses.

It's not just the 'true believers' Mom MD.  A lot of us were so happy to get rid of Hillary we decided to put the Trump hate aside and support him if we could.

I gotta say ... it's getting harder and his TB's here are not helping his cause even if they think they are.  Their irrational spates of madness if Ted Cruz is even mentioned makes one wonder ...

The President knows how to govern @Mom MD   He's doing very well considering the Congress he's inherited.  His only other option is to leapfrog over Congress ... would you be more comfortable if the President did this??

As for the President's tweeting .... it's not going to stop.   This has worked too well for him and is a direct link for his supporters.   :shrug:

That you call them a "cult" says more about you than about them.  Roll them eyes the other way.

Anyone who loves the tweets, whether in actuality or the sarcastic way, get ready.  If you caught Scaramucci on Fox News Sunday, you heard him hint at all the ways they're going to get the message out.  Prepare yourself for things like this when he rolls out his agenda.....

We've already seen the contents of his tweets used in court decisions against him.  A dangerous precedent is being set here.

I don't think it's "dangerous" ... but it is unprecedented and I think this is what makes so many so uncomfortable.  Change is never easy ... and apparently going from the 20th to the 21st Century is quite difficult.    :shrug:

No, it's dangerous.  Don't be a fool.  It's being used as a means to ferret out what a man is thinking in order to come to a legal conclusion about his intent, and we don't even have confirmation Trump actually tweeted what we see.  Nobody saw him say it!  This is very improper handling of evidence. 

It's dangerous.  Wake up.

Agreed.  Since I'm the one who made the original comment that is being poo-pooed, that makes me a bit of an expert in this case.  She totally didn't "get it."

I live firmly in the 21st century and even do some software programming for the company I work for.   Not everyone who disagrees with you is a Luddite.  Trump is a juvenile ass who when he actually does something right derails it with his next set of boorish tweets.  I don't allow temper tantrums in my children and I don't like it in a president.

And as I have to repeatedly counsel my younger supposedly more tech savvy junior colleagues, nothing good happens on social media and once there it is there forever.   In addition several have learned the hard way not to reply by email to anything vaguely controversial until they have slept on it for the same reason.  I have seen careers severely damaged  by an ill thought or hasty text or email.  Trump does real and lasting damage to himself with his tweets

The principle isn't all that new, either.  Before emails we had these things called "memos," and they could be just as damaging if written while hot under the collar.  The only thing that's new about it is the speed of transmission.  "Social media" is not the least bit different.
