Can we have an honest discussion about Trump's tweeting?





Apparently not.

"I disagree with your opinion good sir."

"Oh yeah!!! frick YOU!!!!"



This argument goes both ways.

The only reason the MSM is pissed about Trump's twitter is because Trump drives the narrative and not the MSM.


Exactly. MSM can't take him out of context or edit what he says. And that's why they're pissed about Trump using twitter.

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


The Media has been using their bully pulpit to influence American public opinion without opposition or balance. In that sense, yes, they are the bully, as they no longer report the news. They interpret it for you. So, when a lone voice of opposition speaks up, and gets people lathered up, I'm all for it. It does a country good.

Every single bit of this is the MSM fault, for if they just did their job, none of this would be necessary.

Are you implying I'm not up for a civil discussion? I can't really tell, but I don't think I've lashed out at anyone.

It's similar to the fact that I can't stop holocaust deniers from denying the holocaust, but I can be embarrassed that they deny the holocaust.


This makes no sense...basically, if you don't criticize Trump tweeting, your like a Holocaust denier? Trump is literally Hitler!! Derp.

I'm just going to keep making fun of him. His Twitter is like watching a living trainwreck. His presidency will be hilarious whenever it's not really sad.

Just watch and shake our head as out POTUS looks childish and buffoonish, and wonder when he will stop.


Oh well...too bad. Anyone with an eye for objective reality had to do that for the last 8 years of the Chocolate Communist. Only we didn't embarrass ourselves with demanding "safe spaces or comfort puppies"

I am probably in agreement with you judging by your post. You got defensive though? So I may stick with my original "no".

And plenty are willing to see it for what it is just like seeing the MSM is for what it is.

Something else too.

Does the POTUS risk overexposure? I would say yes. Especially yes when the POTUS is given 1 hour long canned press conferences where in the end it just turns out to be a filibuster session. In other words a boring meaningless press conference where the point could have been made in 5 minutes and not an hour plus.

Obama ran into the problem during his first term. He was over exposed. Maybe if he wasn't so professorial and more the to the point he wouldn't have run into this problem.

I don't think Trump will runs into the problem of over exposure as long has he remains on point and halfway entertaining.

I'm not really being defensive I just couldn't tell if you were calling me out or not, which leaves me in the awk position of not knowing whether to talk shite in response
