One habit Trump says he will keep as president: tweeting

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump plans to select the media representatives who are given access to the presidential press briefing room, but will not move the room out of the White House, he said in interview with Fox News broadcast on Wednesday.

Trump, whose election campaign was punctuated by a stream of Twitter messages, also said he plans to keep tweeting when he takes office on Friday.

"Look, I don't like tweeting. I have other things I could be doing. But I get very dishonest media, very dishonest press. And it's my only way that I can counteract," said the Republican president-elect.

So he's continuing the bad precedent started by Obama of cutting off access to the media.

Even the partisan MSM bristled at this when a fellow Lib did it...they will be much worse when a second Lib does it to them.

Again...VERY bad idea.  This will bite him in the ass.

This is another King Trump move - keep out press in press briefing room, except the ones he likes.  This is what dictators and Kings do.

On the surface, one would cheer this as it would be good for laughs, but in truth, this is very disturbing. His tweets are so juvenile, so unmeasured, and often so rash, they could end up causing a lot of trouble.

In two days, the job changes, he is no longer an internet troll or WWE character.

He needs to grow up. The lives of hundreds of thousands of young men and women who raise their right hands and pledge an oath to this country are on the line.

And I'm telling you...hes not going to be able to continue using a personal cell phone to tweet anything.  That goes away his first day in office.  Same for any of his family members on his staff.

There are strict protons for this that are in place regardless of who is President.

You notice that no one is saying we have to give him a chance to act presidential any more.

Looks like we'll just have to learn to love the dumpster.

So much for the thought that the "adults are in charge."



That picture is a pretty good metaphor: the kid represents Trumpsters, the dog represents POTUS #45.

How are the kids going to react when the dog bites them?

There were strict protocols about using private servers to conduct official federal business, too. How'd that work out?

Well you could look at it from the standpoint that they work so well the last administration had to do something illegal to get around them.

What a schmuck

Two more days to King Trump.  In some ways I am sure he will make positive changes.  I like that he desires to help the African American community.  I hope it isn't by padding the pockets of the local politicians that keep the citizens poor and without hope for a future.  I truly hope for jobs for Americans and control of our borders.  I wish we could send every illegal home.  But I don't see that as realistic.  We should however stop the feed truck when they get here.  There are a lot of Americans that struggle month to month who can't afford groceries.  They have to tell their children choose the cheapest vegetables and fruits.  Cheap hamburger meals and creative with hot dogs.  But I see Hispanic/Latino filling their carts and presenting their government cards.  Then they go out to their brand new vehicles.  It isn't right.

On the other hand Trump scares the heck out of me with his alignment with Russia.  His twittering and his Kingship attitude over the world.  And his shallow nature that makes him see women only through his beauty rating system.  I can see him insulting on a regular basis.  If he has changed I apologize but he had a shallow ugly heart.  I feel sorry for him and pray that his life is changed through the love of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Well, well, well.....lookie what we got here.   Our own Hateful Eight!


Trump has 50 million followers on Twitter and other social media.

You're damned right he's going to keep tweeting.  He'd be an idiot not to.

He's just castrated the entire media complex...and you 'nice' people can't stand it.

Both reasons I'm loving it!   :seeya:

I figured he wouldn't stop tweeting. I've sorta made my peace with it.  :shrug:


I think his tweets actually make life harder for him though. And when he tweets about celebrity apprentice it just makes him look stupid.


Hoping and praying he beats my low expectations.

Lulz...oh look more meaningless drivel from an obtuse dolt.

What part of he won't be allowed to is so hard to understand?

He won't have a personal cell phone or any Internet access that isn't on a tightly controlled government network.

Twitter won't be on his iPhone he's issued by the White House Communications Agency.

The guy supports him no matter what he does. That is not healthy for a Republic.

Not really, @Frank Cannon

Because being POTUS, his every tweet will be covered...commented upon on global media.

Pretty hard for the adversarial mainstream media to ..., do their 'thing'.
