WHY TRUMP TWEETS

When I talk to Trump-haters, invariably the first thing they cite against him is his tweets. And, in truth, they have sometimes been impolitic. But on the whole, I think Twitter has helped him. This Associated Press news story illustrates why.

President Donald Trump’s attorney said Friday the special counsel in the Russia probe has narrowed the scope of potential questions for the president, even as Trump advanced an unverified theory that the Justice Department planted a spy in his 2016 campaign…

It comes from the New York Times, so, yeah, it’s unverified.

…and is now “out to frame him.”

I agree with this. If Trump relied on the news media, Republicans or divine intervention then he'd already be out of there like a Nixon on a water slide.

[Oceander]

Because he’s an idiot who can’t put together a coherent thought that requires more than 144 characters.

And you?

It's his way around the media filter and they absolutely hate it!  Which means I love it!

[Oceander]

And you?

I’m an idiot, of course, because I keep giving people the benefit of the doubt and they keep rewarding me by electing jackasses like Trump, or double jackasses like Obama.

The problem isn't *that* he tweets.

Maybe the public has had its fill of duplicitous "statesmen."

Oh yeah, I get that.  It's just hard to pick between them and raving imbeciles.

As long as Donny is irritating up tight elitists, he can Twit away.

   It's just Bizarre to me that having the most powerful position in the World and all it's power he uses Twitter to communicate with his base/constituency. 
   I could read to much into this but I'm already considered a fanatical NT'er who has received PM's from the Mods tonight and I've got almost 48 hours before the next Rockets game. 
   I just can't afford to lose this piece of my Sanity at this time.

Do you live under a rock?  Have you not witnessed what our media does to the truth --- the way each word the President says is twisted, taken out of context and distorted?  Seriously, have you no knowledge of this?

Why would a sane man reply on this media to carry his message --- especially when there's another way to get a message out? 

The President shoots over the media's heads and he never fails to reach his target with his unfiltered, untwisted, unfabricated message.

Please, don't force me to explain this to you again.

Everyone needs and should use a filter.  Everyone.  Even Frank chooses his words wisely.

   The very last person I would want explaining 'this' to me is you @Right_in_Virginia
   I like you a lot but I think you are Bias, which doesn't make you a bad person. 
   I'm probably just jealous cause I don't do bookface or twitter and I just don't think he's doing enough to reach out to those among us that don't do deep thoughts* in 144 characters or less.

    * cause he doesn't have any.

   That's BS and you know it.

[RoosGirl]

   That's BS and you know it.

Not at all.  I suspect Frank is very careful with his words and if he said what he wanted to say would end up on a lot of timeouts.  Since I never notice that he's gone for extended periods I'm guessing his filter is working fairly well for him.

Biased?  Again, @corbe are you unaware of how this current crop of "journalists"/"reporters" operate?

Kudos to the President for going over them.  And Kudos to the President for continuing to hold his signature rallies.
   
And kudos to the President for driving this pathetic media to the brink of madness.

[corbe]

   That is very true @RoosGirl

   As provocative and knowledgeable as Frank is, on a broad range of subjects, I wouldn't trade him for anything. 
   Besides him, Wingy and the Mods are my only foil here.

   @Right_in_Virginia you probably haven't noticed and more likely don't care but I'm coming around, with each passing week, to accepting this Presidency and his results.  I'm just a little slower than you Trumpers, I've never Hated the guy, just didn't think he was the correct answer to the question of 'After obummer, What now?'.

    I would readily admit that perhaps it's my Bias against Trump that makes me question his desire to use twitterpit, where questions are null and void instead of the Bully Pulpit inherent in his Office.

And kudos to him for being just so, so dreamy, right?  I mean with his large hands and all.   Just admit it @Right_in_Virginia ...you wanna be the next mistress don’t you? Or you’re just REALLY jealous of whoever the next one is gonna be.

[corbe]

   I skipped over the Rallies part because I remember when we always accused obummer of campaigning all the time.


                                   AFFIRMATION

   Is it time for the FogHat Video 'I just want to make love to you'?

Better than hogfat and the same title.

   It's after midnight on the East Coast (maybe safe to post this) I think @Axeslinger was just calling RiV out to play.
