The president’s more sober-minded critics now want him to stop tweeting, as if that’ll get them off the hook for what they started.
There is room for legitimate discussion about whether Mr. Trump’s tactics are optimal, but only those who truly believe that he is stark, raving mad could conceive that he would be speaking and tweeting about illegal surveillance, fake news, malicious media and partisan harassment, if none of it were happening.
The sane and civilized Trump-skeptics, such as Charles Krauthammer and Peggy Noonan, have no faith that there is any scandal lurking in the president’s closet and just want it all to go away. Let him retreat from his tweets. It’s a well-intentioned thought but there are some problems with it.
This is a war and the object of wars is to eliminate the enemy. Donald Trump effectively claimed that the corruption and incompetence of the Bush-Clinton-Obama era was a declaration of war on the national interest and an affront to the patience of the electorate, and he attacked the entire political power structure directly and in practically every policy area.
Since there was no argument for the reelection of the Democrats after the strategic and economic and fiscal debacle of the Obama years, nor any very strong Democratic argument furnished by Mrs. Clinton’s career, the only campaign, which was assumed to be a sure winner, was a smear job on Trump.
If Trump’s accusers do not relent, he will force all these issues, as is his right. And the sudden solicitude about his distraction from his presidential responsibilities, which was precisely the reason for this scorched earth partisan assault on him, is doubly nonsense. Not only is it hypocrisy coming from the Democrats who are trying to distract him; the president possesses such super-human energy, it doesn’t distract him. He is starting to enjoy it as the tables turn and the public becomes cynical about endless false accusations that vanish in the night air, after the tele-jackals have squeezed the juice out of them.

Must remember that one
President Trump just tweeted today that Mexico has been determined to be the second most dangerous country in the world next to Syria, due to its narcotics trafficking, and that he is moving forward with plans to build the wall.
Keep tweeting, Mr. President. They didn’t like losing either. F*** `em.
Excellent writing.
Trump is *the* man for our time!
I agree, keep tweeting. I read awhile back that they took away his cell phone. Looks like a plan to isolate him to me.
Donald’s political foes forgot his WWE (once called WWF) background.
The Federal government once had no such office as court jester. Now it has one; the President is doubling as one.
And he’s jesting at the whole world.
Everyone else is tweeting and the next president will be tweeting.
I felt the same way about the other mediums of communications when they came out.
Instant messageing? Hated it.
FaceCrook? Never use it.
Twitter? Won’t be using that either.
However, if I wanted to expand my reach to potential customers(Fans) I would use these.
Hey, I have an idea now...
President Trump: Keep on Tweetin’
