Trump, twitter, and the media who cover him

[N68]

I was out of town for new years, And believe me, I try to measure myself what I post about what he tweets, But now I'm morphing in the media I criticize for catting on about his every freaking tweets.



I started this thread to highlight what Clinton pointed about being bated with a tweet and weeks later.

• Obama's not out office and he's publically contradicting his policy.

• His surrogates defend some of the blatant ignorant statements he makes, he corrects them publically in a tweet.

• His press secretary says;

Keep in mind, he's already publically squabbled with reporters and people who don't agree with him the moment he gets wind of it.

Dude, could you PLEASE for our country's sake " fake " some type of discipline. After this lick my republicans counterparts can never loosely throw around the phraseology "weak and feckless" Are you kidding me!?!? With this thin skinned guy?

That said, Happy New Year!!

To paraphrase Collin Powell regarding Iraq, you break it, you bought it.

Trump: Happy New Year, You Losers And Haters
December 31, 2016

The douchebaggery will never end. The New York Daily News reports: He’s finishing 2016 with holiday jeer. Donald Trump took to Twitter Saturday to wish the world a happy new year — and to excoriate his rivals a final time before the calendar turns to 2017. “Happy New Year to all, including to my many enemies and those who have ...

Donald Trump’s Twitter Account Is A Security Disaster Waiting To Happen
With no known special security protections, @realdDonaldTrump could be exploited for financial gain, to cause geopolitical instability, or worse.


The most powerful publication in the world today is Donald Trump’s personal Twitter account. In the past six weeks, it has moved markets, conducted shadow foreign policy, and reshaped the focus of media around the world. Just today, it caused Toyota stock to plummet. It is also shockingly insecure.

That insecurity was acceptable when @realdonaldtrump concerned itself with Kristen Stewart cheating on Robert Pattinson and how thin people don’t drink Diet Coke. And yet Trump’s newfound influence — combined with the unpredictability of his tweets — makes the president-elect’s account a particularly tempting target for hackers.

If the hacker was geopolitically motivated, he or she could tweet favorably or unfavorably about a country or a leader (as Trump has done) and alter foreign affairs. Or if the hacker had a grudge, he could call his enemy out in a tweet (as Trump has done) and unleash the rage of Trump’s nearly 19 million followers. Plus, who knows what’s in Trump’s DMs?

McConnell: Please Trump, Get Off The Twitter Machine

February 17, 2017 News, Politics


Politico reports:

As Donald Trump heads to Florida this weekend to give a campaign-style rally, Mitch McConnell made one more plea to the Republican president: Try to stay on message. The Senate majority has been trying for months — unsuccessfully — to convince Trump to adapt McConnell’s own disciplined style. The Kentucky Republican says that Trump’s White House is pursuing many of the policy goals that the Capitol Hill GOP prefers, but that Trump’s style is at odds with McConnell’s own methodical style.

“Well, I’ve been pretty candid with him and all of you that I’m not a great fan of daily tweets. What I am a fan of is what he’s been actually doing,” McConnell told reporters on Friday before the weeklong Presidents Day recess. “I’ve not been a fan of the extra discussions that he likes to engage in. But we’re going to solider on.”

The canny GOP leader has been directly challenging Trump to change his messaging approach. McConnell this week advised Trump to lay off Twitter and told the Weekly Standard Trump would be “10 to 15 points higher if he allowed himself to stay on message.”

Canny, Gracie?

Dude, it's like where does this shit end? How can you NOT thinking about Clinton warning us this guy can be baited with a tweet.

What can one conclude except his tweets re always all about him.

I try so bad not to get sucked in. With that said, it's like weekly this guy keeps tripping over his own d!ck whenever he feels lighted about something.

The bigger thing that gets me with his tweeting is he doesn't care with his tweeting he actually represents "ALL of us", with some of his own commentary. Does he not care he's hurting himself with all the tweeting, it looks so unprofessional.

I love when Mr Trump tweets against his own self interests. Hasten the downfall.

 

[Industrialsize]

41 days after sending this tweet: "James Comey better hope that there are no "tapes" of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press!", Trump finally admits he was bluffing all along.

Trump admits he did not record meetings with Comey

"With all of the recently reported electronic surveillance, intercepts, unmasking and illegal leaking of information, I have no idea whether there are "tapes" or recordings of my conversations with James Comey, but I did not make, and do not have, any such recordings."

And the obstruction of justice laws:

I'd love to hear Trump's answer as to why he suggested there were tapes in the first place.

You better hope there are no tapes of that post.
