It has become quite commonplace to complain about President Trump's overuse of his Twitter account. His personal and government lawyers are apoplectic at the complications he is causing by his compulsion to share his raw opinions with the world. Even Kellyanne Conway's husband, George, has joined the chorus of complainers ... probably to her chagrin.
Personally I have had no problem with Trump's tweeting out his contempt for the mayor of London's squishy response to terrorism or his disagreements with the liberal courts' decisions that thwart his efforts to protect this country ... or his many other jibes ... most of which I agree with. And, I also believe, that much of his voting base feels the same. After all he does have (a disputed) 20 million Twitter followers. (I am not one.) I also believe that much of our nation's media secretly relishes these early morning 140 character messages as they make for easy copy or talking-head tsk-tsking.
Yes, this is unconventional, but our president is an unconventional man ... and he is unlikely to change at age 70 ... for he has great confidence in what his style has produced. And who am I to argue?

George, your mind is getting as small as his hands. He tweets lies, half-truths and alternative facts. This is not good for you or our nation. It will bring him down. And you will be able to tell your grandchildren you were on his side when he waves that final goodbye as did President Nixon. Shame.
Could be ... but somehow I see things will be a bit better than what was. Tolerating his "different" personality is the price we all pay.
"Unconventional" describing his uninformed and embarrassing behavior is putting lipstick on a pig. Most of his "followers" on Twitter are, like me, people who can't help watching trainwrecks.
No one will ever accuse you of being inconsistent.
...and no one will accuse you of being fair or balanced. Nah-nah.
You again make my point ...
