There's your problem. Stop watching them.

And why do you think this was totally not planned?

There’s no master plan or genius behind the madness. Didn’t he say he was gonna surround himself with all the best people? And how many of these same great people is he on the outs with after just a year in office? Hes not the genius you guys try to make of him. He’s playing you.Tell me you haven’t noticed how condescending he is to his supporters knowing they’ll swallow anything.

I really don't know why y'all focus so much on the media. The media is about making money, and right now, outrage and fear is the biggest seller.

they're still powerful

just look at the stupid talking points they get from the progressive elites and how fast they synchronize and spread those talking points

you have randoms on here spouting them within an hour or so. that's simply amazing

Tell that to the unhinged who have had their daily lives destroyed by one man and a twitter

Bruh, FT and Bison don't count. Partisan hacks don't count.

Most middle of the road Americans are now talking about CFB, NFL, and the weather...not this bullshite.

Here we go again.

Tell me JJDoc, GumboPot, MButterfly, Angelle, Bengal, etc. don't do the same thing.

ETA: I see you're talking about media, my bad

what does Trump lose by acting polarized? nothing. he's not converting any progressives to his cause regardless

this is simple strategic, risk-reward assessmsent

So it's okay if he does it all in his own self-interest of risk reward and frick putting the country first? Ok

The funniest is when the "serious" people get so outraged at a tweet, they respond with something super grounded and astute like "frick you".

What is your definition of putting the country first? His policies are quite literally about the US first over the world.

he's a politician. his loyalty is to his voters. what kind of vague, generalized bullshite are you talking about?

it's a standard from the past because now direct communication between political face and the pleb class is widespread, easy, and cheap.

If the POTUS made such unwise public comments after debate and careful consideration behind closed doors, people would think he's absolutely insane. The argument repeated in this thread is that Trump's tweets are inconsequential because they're just that, tweets.

The method of communication is not a problem. The I'll-advised content of the communication is the crux of the problem.

You can call it democratization of the Presidency, but it is really a skilled politician bloviating to satisfy an electorate that is incapable of understanding what needs to be done to advance the interests of the country.
