Until Twitter decides they don't want the liability and deletes his account.

They are a private businss and have full right to do that.

Hmmm...interesting...I haven't thought of that..I would think they like all the attention Trump gives them.

Political religion trumps (pun intended) logic and business sense in most Lefties.

If they understand that Tweeting eliminates the MSM filter, they would happily cut their own opportunity for growth because it will eliminate Trump from being able to connect with his people without having to go through the spin cycle of the media prism that will always distort the truth to fit their narratives.

That would be a rational thought, but Twitter execs likely see as bad a result as cigarettes were to dinosaurs:

The situation changes when it isn't a private citizen just mouthing off versus the Commander in Chief of the United States Armed Forces that pulls a 3AM tweet storm that actually puts our troop's lives in danger, all because he felt slighted and couldn't keep his emotions and mouth in check.

Hopefully if he manages to get around the protocols put in place to prevent that...his social media team will pull it before anyone ever sees it.

So, you defend yourself by issuing a physical threat to me? Whatever dude. You're a true Trumpster: bellicose, bullying, and classless.

Son, you need a long spell in a safe space.

You should read your bolded portion of my quote again.

I never threatened you.   I apologized to you simply for typing "Balls"....because you always pee your pants at the sight of your definition of poor taste.

I wasn't referring to you whatsoever.

That's all it's going to take to stoke the fires of impeachment. Despite the strong support of his most ardent admirers, and an electoral "landslide", he's never had the support of more than 50.1% of the population. All hell will break loose if such an ill-advised tweet cost the life of a single American.

The moment something is tweeted, it is forever archived and accessible, even if they delete it 1 second after. The tweets would require a third party to review and approve something before it ever goes out, such as his social media team. This would be just as responsible as having a speech writer versus doing everyting off the cuff (especially when having a 'filter' is not a personal attribute one learned.)

That's the concern folks who are governed by principles and whom desire a statesman to represent the country have.  However, the Trump faithful are perfectly fine with Trump being Trump and insulting whomever, regardless of the consequences - because you know…. payback and all that.

The media should have and deserves free and open access to the President.


Did Benjamin Franklin have free and open access to the president or to anyone else for happening to own a printing press? Did that printing press confer on him such privilege?

You'll have to amend the Constitution to give the news media such privilege. Besides, we are all the news media simply for typing out some news.

I'm hoping he will have a "social media team" he can trust with that.  I think they'll want to screen everything he tweets before it goes out, and I hope he understands the importance of doing that.  It will require a staff that operates with a very light hand on the tiller.

I'm sure if there is a filter in place, they're going to do everything they can to keep it looking like it's "off the cuff" without really being that reckless.

I'm with @Night Hides Not:  If one of his tweets costs a single soldier's life it will be big trouble, and I doubt the RINOs are going to lift a finger to save him.  They'd be fine with a President Pence.

Most certainly not, Nancy.

However, is defending oneself now verboten in here?

You aren't defending yourself, but Trump.

And you do so by personal attacks.  You don't explain how Trump's behavior is right or proper.

Freedom of the press in the United States is protected by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. This clause is generally understood as a means to prevent the government from interfering with the distribution of information and opinions. Nevertheless, freedom of the press is subject to certain restrictions, such as the defamation law.

Unless they are defaming the President...also known as libel...they aren't to be interfered with in what they publish.

And I'll point out too that the legal standard for proving libel or slander takes more than someone climbing the media is dishonest in a Twitter post.

Your lack of knowledge of the Constitution is showing.

Thanks Cyber...the reaction from Trumpsters will be to place blame on the dead soldier. That's their modus operandi, that Trump can do no wrong.

If a tweet of his starts a war, or is used as justification for a terror attack...

...can those affected sue Twitter for the damages caused?

IIRC the social media team comes with the job. They are there regardless of the POTUS.

His ever tweet will be tightly controlled by people not named Trump who handle the official POTUS Twitter feed.

You don't think Obama actually hit send on his official Twitter feed do you?
