I know, I know how many find President Trump's Twitter storms offensive, but what would those lovebirds, Joe and Mika, do to keep their audience glued to their short snippets of fake news and hysterical commentary sandwiched in among all those commercials? And, of course, many other media "pundits" also echo this same zinger about Trump's AM rantings ... a safe comment ... unlikely to be challenged.
However, I am a growing fan of these communiques as they let me know exactly what Trump is chewing on ... and, much more importantly, it gives us, who have been dissatisfied with the opaque nature of our governments process, an x-ray view of the possible malignancies in our government. For much too long, we Americans have been fed the ambergris from that lumbering whale in Washington. The relation of this regurgitated pablum to the truth is too often tenuous . It is a fiction designed to tie together visible events in a way that hides really what is happening.
Thank heavens Trump does not play this media game. As best he can he reveals what really is happening under the surface of the DC swamp. Yes, he does bring his own bias to these tweets, but insofar as they differ from what we are normally allowed to see, they give us, those who care to see, am unique perspective on the possible truth. I don't claim it is the total truth. But it is far more genuine than the chewed-over press releases ... and their media echoes to which we have become accustomed.
Keep up the tweeting Donald! Ignore all those critics who are afraid of a different ... and likely a more informed ... version of the straight skinny. That's just the ignorant rolling around in their ignorance.

One more thing Donald ... pay no attention to DEN ...
Thanks Den!
Trump does NOT tell us what is going on under the surface. He gives painful driveby superficial observations. Instead of listening to seasoned government professionsls, he listens to FoxNews pundits. His tweets are often nasty bullying of people that are not relevant to leadership of our country. I have grown tired of listening to what flows out of Trump while he is taking a shit at 4:00 am.
DEN was just quoting Tillerson. Your recall is quite convenient and questionable.
OK. I'll recast. I sincerely feel that POTUS is not expected to be a CEO who hires and fires with impunity, admonishing and overriding the staff. It is not HIS country, it is is OUR country. He works for me, I do not work for him. And there are checks and balances that temper his ability to unilaterally do whatever he feels today. He is a loose cannon and has churned up the seas.
And who are you going to hire for Secretary of State?
Putin.
Doctor Strangelove.
Sarah Palin.
Paul Gigot. I am learning that as a conservative political commentator, editor of the editorial pages for The Wall Street Journal, moderator of the public affairs TV series Journal Editorial Report on Fox News Channel, and a Dartmouth '77 grad. Trump apparently listens to him, at least on TV.
Besides Gigot, Dartmouth has also produced Denish Desouza, Laura Ingraham and a few other conservatives. How this happened is beyond me ... given that all that is fed there is liberalism.
Aren't you a Dartmouth grad? Motto in English: A voice crying out in the wilderness.
Not to say that anyone is listening...
I don't ridicule you for yout opinions. Why do you ridicule me for mine?
I apologize but i am not sure for what. How is quoting the odd motto of your alma mater ridicule? I went to Bentley whose motto is Paratus.... Prepared. Just dull green eyeshade accountants.
"Not to say that anyone is listening ..."
Touche...
