Sometimes I think the President throws out some tweets just to keep the haters occupied so he can get on with doing what's important without having to sidestep their yapping.
Sorta like throwing a shiny object to keep the easily distractible out of the way.

Trump ran on being a great dealmaker/negotiator yet he has few, if any, real legislative achievements. He’s living by (and will ultimately die by) the same Executive Orders he mocked Obama over using and claimed their use made Obama ineffective. He’s now touting many of the same economic numbers that he previously said were wrong or unrelated to the Presidency. I don’t think he or many of his supporters even recognize his hypocrisy.
There’s no question in my mind that when he stays on script like on his foreign trips, he serves himself well, and largely gets positive press (relatively speaking). Unfortunately, I believe he’s incredibly impulsive, petty, and childish, and it’s those traits that drive his childish name-calling and apparent need to respond to so many perceived slights not some master strategy or twelve- dimensional chess. I believe this impulsive, petty, and childish behavior is ultimately hurting him, but I just don’t think he can help himself. JMO.
