re: For those who keep saying Trump "needs to put away his twitter" & "stop tweeting

I think most people see thru his tweets. Its pretty simple. If you criticize him then he says you are a failure and will go after you. If you compliment him then he thinks you are the greatest thing since sliced bread.
If you criticize him in the morning then say something positive about him at lunch then something else negative at night, Trump's opinion of you will change 3 times in one day

Someone needs to. The MSM won't. Those crazy bastards in Hollyweird are playing their favorite song. The only reason Trump tweets is because the Media is so completely corrupted and biased. It's absurd, and yet it's been this way for a really long time, and until now, people on the right have just put up with it. That clearly didn't work.
I understand your point here, my point is that he's not really doing anything to fill the role of the MSM. He's just rebutting their bias with his own bias in 140 characters.
You'll say Trump is right and MSM is wrong, and I probably agree more than I disagree, but I don't think he's educating the American people or shining light on darkness.

Personally I enjoy the Trumper tantrums. I think they're going to be a staple of his administration.

Boom, your fricking moronic argument is now deconstructed. You're welcome.

Libs hate his twitter because it really chaps their asses to have their bs repudiated so quickly and thoroughly instead of letting the media signal boost their propaganda.

I don't want him to stop either. I want him to be more surgical like Kellyanne though.

This is what I'm talking about
Trump responds "more fake news from biased media!" and people act like it's a detailed takedown. It's just refuting biased conclusions with biased conclusions.

I think the necessary tweets that allow him to set the narrative or maneuver around the media make it worth it.
Posted on 1/9/17 at 9:06 am to Pettifogger
It sounds like if the media wasn't presenting biased conclusions then there wouldn't be anything for him to refute. Perhaps we should go to the root of the problem instead of blaming trump then.

I don't disagree that it is insecure...but if that's what it takes to get lower taxes, less regulation, and a president who doesn't sell out the American worker...I'll deal with it.

Well let's separate this.
I totally acknowledge Trump's tweets are a critical part of Trump's persona and the way he stays in the news and controls the narrative.
But, I think that's separate from claiming Trump is somehow maintaining a substantive check on the MSM or otherwise devastating detractors on Twitter.
The answer may be that, at least for the time being, he's got the mandate and keeping his retorts in the news is how he "wins." That's not really what I'm arguing against, but that might be the best argument for Trump supporters as to the value of his Twittering.

He is a man who knows he will never get an ounce of balance from the MSM, and he is correct in that assumption, because he will not, and so that drives his need to tweet.
I don't really give a shite anymore. I just want the machine to break
I want to watch them all go out of their minds, and I enjoy someone not playing by their rules and calling a spade a spade. They've had a bully pulpit they've been using to influence American public opinion for decades, and it's long past time to destroy that. The internet is helping, as is social media. He's using it and quite effectively. It can be credited with his election, and hopefully in getting people to pull away from their dependence upon the Media elites for their opinions and more on what's really going on.
If the MSM won't offer balance then let them go extinct. I welcome it with open arms.

Unnecessary- apprentice, Baldwin tweets
Very necessary- Russia tweets that bait the media into insanity

The MSM is biased. So is Trump. Don't you think there are probably at least a couple of things the MSM is right about that Trump would still refute?
I don't mean to attack you personally, but the overall mindset is what I'm looking at. People on this board act like Trump is just a beacon of truth that is fighting evil in MSM. But I think it's highly likely that MSM could say something true, and Trump could (or already has) responded with something biased and false. Every President does that.

so basically the MSM is the bully in the classroom and Trump is the little kid in the back of the room that the bully tries to get a reaction out of everyday, and the little kid gives in to the bully, only to full the bully more?
awesome

Your bully analogy is a tad off.
If MSM is the bully, Trump is the one giving the bully his shite right back to him.

The only reason the MSM is pissed about Trump's twitter is because Trump drives the narrative and not the MSM.
Trump tweets at 3:30 AM for a reason. He beats the MSM dissemination of their narrative. It pisses MSM producers off because they no longer have control of the narrative. They have become lazy and used to either working with the White House or the White House falling in line with the daily narrative.
With Trump occupying the White House and with Trump's 20+ million social media followers, Trump now drives the narrative when he wants to.

That Trump is exposing MSM bias (to some extent - I don't find his tweets very compelling) is a fine thing.
The negative byproduct, I think, is that it just pits us against MSM, with Trump's 140 characters now becoming the absolute truth to millions of Americans. In other words, he's filling the MSM vacuum with his opinion, and plenty of people are entirely willing to swallow that without questioning it.

Pretty weak analogy. The media is usually the one taking the bait.
