You mean like calling out a person in the middle of a banquet because he said something mean about me.

While we elected Trump partially because of his words, his experience in the business world is another reason why he was elected. He just doesn't have political experience.





We elected him largely because of his rhetoric. The point still stands. You can't tell me his words matter one day, and then they don't the next.

Toyota's stock price fell immediately after one of his tweets. Does that happen when you tweet?

Words count, dude. We elected Trump on his words, not his experience. Don't tell me they don't matter now.



And the fact he knows how to run a business effectively.

His everyday tweet does one thing.... Stirs you up and dictates what the media discusses.

Tell that to the owners of Toyota stock.

What the media discusses is kinda significant, no? That shapes the discussions going on in America. And that shapes policy.

What's the problem

What does it mean to you? Now ask 20 co-workers. Bet you get different answers. Now imagine translating that into a bunch of languages and asking people in different countries what it meant.

If the MSM matters as a source for information then so do trump's tweets. You can't have it both ways.

Doesn't bother me one bit, he's anti-establishment politics through and through. That's exactly why I voted for him. It bothers the worthless career politicians regardless of party and it bothers crybaby liberals. Both are great thing and very much needed.

no, the CEO said they would certainly look at potential cost reductions. The problem with the Toyota tweet is that it contained information that wasn't even accurate. Never mind that he shouldn't be publicly threatening businesses via social media in the first place.

Obama was lauded by the media as "the first social media president" who "won the social media battle", "changing politics forever" by finding bold new ways to "connect with Americans".

What a difference a party affiliation makes.

Talk about apples and oranges here. Obama never told the American people to check out a sex tape of a former Miss Universe. Obama has done nothing remotely controversial with his social media, while Trump does it 3 times a day.
