Tweeting wins hands down.
Tired of the MSM pissing in your shoes?
Stop patronizing the enabling parent corps: Disney, Comcast, AT&T, Viacom.
With at least a Tweet, Trump should win one for Charlie Gard.
Dear media — try something else. Like finding REAL NEWS!

All truly wonderful things, and the press doesn’t notice. One more to add: Mick Mulvaney is now Budget Director for the USA. A Teaparty candidate in 2010 one of the 60 who mopped the floor with Dems, now he is in charge of America’s budget, a TEAPARTY American!!! How so incredibly sweet is that?
