Trump should get off Twitter. He sounds unstable, not what you want in a President.

Mentioning “tapes” could be intended to drive the press into a frenzy because of the comparison to Nixon.

not what you want in a President.
That would be, not what YOU want. Don't pretend to know what "sounds unstable" or what I want.

After Reagan won, but before he took office, he had associates who did business with the Soviet Union tell them that he had a bit of a temper, and might be unpredictable if crossed. In those days, the USSR was a closed society, and exposure of political celebrities wasn't ubiquitous like it is today.

That worked for a simpler era, when Reagan needed an advantage in diplomacy. Trump is doing it by living it. Like Reagan was, Trump will be portrayed as unstable by the media, and WE don't care, and our enemies will never be pleased. Those who are neither will get sick of all the vapors and hyperventilating. It is hard to think of Trump as a burn down the place Hitler type when he's hosting Henry Kissinger in the Oval Office, who doesn't have a scary word to say about him.

Trump is a different type of President, and his work today will make President Pence's job easier one day.

“Trump should get off Twitter.”

Saying he’s “unstable, not what you want in president” sounds like something from Mad Maxine, krazy Keef Olderwoman, Chuckles or any lefty shill.

I suppose the Bushes and any number of Kristol #nevertrumper neo-cons would agree with you—it’s frightfully “undignified” eh wot? Why, he should just let the uniparty 24/7 invective and pejorative lies go—roll with it. Like water off a duck’s back, yeah, like Dubya ... uh, no.

The MSM and its army of Winston Smiths spin the truth ten different ways, e.g. just yesterday here on the country’s premiere conservative web site: `Spicer was *hiding* in the bushes!’, and CNN called the president’s mauling of Lemon, Comey and others, all deserving multiple trips to the woodshed. “undignified”.
I won’t begrudge the president this one means of letting us know what’s really going on at the curtilage of the Swamp.

Tweet on Don. Give `em hell. Paddle them.
(”I don’t give anyone hell. I just tell the truth and they think it’s hell.” Harry S Truman)

I'm ok with his twitter usage, but some of what he posts does come across strange. The limitations of twitter can make posts come across... strange, and he has some that do come across that way. I would def limit its use.

He sounds like a guy who knows the msm is out to get him at any cost and is fighting back instead of rolling over like a supplicant dog as Republicans usually do.

I agree, his tweets are making things worse, not better. There are too many “Support everything Trump does or you must love Hillary” types on here.

Honestly, I don’t think there are tapes at all. I think he’s just saying if there are tapes it would prove Comey (who is leaking through “sources close to him”) is not telling the truth. That said, if there are tapes, Comey would only need to be afraid if he’s lying.

There was a time when I would have cautioned against such tweets. At this point, I don’t care. The media is going to attack him and accuse regardless. They have a substantial portion of the public convinced (without any proof) that he colluded with Russia to hack the election.

Look, while I am willing to admit if I’m wrong, I don’t believe Trump colluded with Russia to hack the election. Trump maintains his innocence, so from his perspective, imagine being accused of a crime you did not commit daily from every news outlet and paper sans Fox and a handful of conservative outlets. Imagine it. Then imagine that these people have millions of Americans calling for your impeachment and calling you a traitor over something you didn’t do. Imagine at that same point you are trying to run the country. I think anyone would be frustrated under that situation. Anyone. He’s trying to defend himself, but people don’t listen. Twitter is one way he can get around that press. I’m not going to judge because I can only imagine how upset I’d be in that situation.

I like his tweating.

It drives the obsolete MSM batshyte crazy.

Trump is OUR memo to them.



If they don't like that message - then they should've DONE THEIR JOBS.

There is no greater enemy to the conservative cause than the main stream media. It is well past time that they are consciously seen as such, called out as such and eviscerated.

It is our only chance. Trump and his administration should boycott them the way Obama boycotted conservative media.

Right, get off twitter and be more like W. Being presidential is more important.

Is that you Karl Rove?

Trump didn’t become a billionaire, nor POTUS, by following such advise....

BULL! He is going directly to the people by the only means possible. The MEDIA is so slanted there is NO attempt at factual reporting. President Trump is not going to whimper and say nothing like President Bush did. We elected a FIGHTER and I love his tweets which let WE THE PEOPLE in on what he is thinking. You don’t have to agree, but you do know what he is thinking. A far cry from the PC disease which has consumed this country thanks to Obama and Clinton pushing their Communist agenda.

Isn’t life miserable walking around all the time in a stuffed shirt?

You’re like Charles Krauthammer trying to judge the current game by the rules of base ball or tennis.

There is a new game called Drain the Swamp. All your stuffiness no longer applies

It occurred to me this morning that draining the swamp might actually be problematic because it violates the wetlands preservation laws.

(are you Charles Krauthammer? )

Why would Trump publicly warn Comey?
NYT takes the bait.
Raise expectations, trip up the media.
