Yeah, it's just baffling to me that Trump doesn't have someone between him and his Twitter account at all times. Granted, I know he doesn't give a fuck about anyone but himself, so he doesn't really give a shit if he offends people (he only cares when they fire back, as then it's about him), but it just makes him and our country look like a bunch of fucking buffoons every time he fires off another idiotic 140 characters.
Just like most athletes and celebrities, a president should have someone in charge of their social media accounts who makes sure they don't post dumb shit.
I mean, it's genius. He has to engage with his voters daily. It's part of what won him the election and I guess he thinks he can maintain that approach for 4 whole years. Keep building his cult of personality and dropping in occasional references to fringe conspiracies on either of the Clintons or Obama(the three true uniting factors for 80%+ of Trump voters)
Just wait until 2-2.5 years in to the term when potential candidates on both sides start to emerge. He will use twitter to wage war on them 24/7 well before the primaries even begin.
To be clear, although my politics should be fairly obvious by the very few times I've ever posted in this thread, it has nothing to do with my opinion of him as being an idiot or as being (supposedly) a Republican or Conservative(he's neither)
I would be adamantly and vocally opposed to the same type of daily/weekly twitter usage by a President who's views aligned more closely or even perfectly with mine.
