Charles Krauthammer reacts to newly-minted Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) remarking "making America great again" requires more than a tweet from President-elect Trump.
BRET BAIER: On the Senate side, the top Democrat there, Chuck Schumer, took to the floor for his first speech talking about the president-elect's communication.
SENATE MINORITY LEADER CHUCK SCHUMER: These issues are too important for mere words. Our challenge is too entrenched for mere tweeting. Making America great again requires more than 140 characters per issue. With all due respect, America cannot afford a Twitter presidency.
BAIER: Charles.
CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: Sore loser. The tweets are working. I mean if they weren't, they wouldn't be using them. As Chuck [Lane] indicated, Trump has used it on North Korea, he's used it on Ford, on General Motors, on this issue, which he won within hours. It works. It has a lot of effect. And he's not even in office. I think when he is in office, it will be a little more problematic because people will be presuming policy out of this, and it's hard to be -- it's hard to be either detailed or specific enough in a tweet to actually make coherent policies....

Well said
Are you assuming Trump doesn’t meet with his staff or converse on the telephone?
Absolutely. He put ogether a smart team with whom he can make and carry out policy decisions.
Did he eat his crow yet?
The way for a president to succeed in the current environment is to talk over the heads of Congress and the media directly to the American people.
In 2017, Twitter is how you do that.
He’s amassing a great team, and his team must get a heads up on the bosses direction. A 4am tweet doesn’t give the team any notice about his intentions, and the morning press will eat them alive if they aren’t aligned with the boss.
That's a message management problem. I'm sure the solution is not beyond the Donald.
Does Charless last name really translate to cabbage hammer? Whats up with this? <<
It means he whacks his radish...
How does Twitter make money?
“It means he whacks his radish...”
For those of you who don’t know, Charles K. is paralyzed from the waist down, and lives in a wheelchair.
Trump fully understands the mental capacity of the products of public schools.
144 letters is just about it.
Appealing to that is an art form that Trump has mastered.
“Heimer” often corrupts to “hammer” in the US. I’m acquainted with a family that settled locally by the name of “Bodenhammer” but some still spell it accurately, “Bodenheimer.” The “heimer” suffix means an ancestor is from that “heim,” i.e. Boden as in the previous example, so I suppose Krauthammer’s ancestors are from Kraut, although that doesn’t sound right it’s correct etymology.
Indeed, that is what Reagan did because Reagan knew he would never please the press, so he talked to people directly. Trump is going to multiply that successful method that the upity Bushes and RINOs were too good to employ.
Trump using twitter or any other form of mass communication to circumvent the main stream media liars is a good thing.
Each time I see Craphammer, Rove or Will, or even Ed Rollins, I fast-forward Youtube. Well I confess, I sometimes stay if he is with Monica Crowley or Ann Coulter, but that’s it.
They’d have to be idiots not to. It’s plain to see, Trump is a doer.
This might sound self serving but, we can listen to them when they agree with us.
I’m sure he probably does. Not only that, cabbage hammers are real kitchen utensils. You can buy them on Amazon.
Here’s a possibility. In making home-made sauerkraut, a tool called a stomper is used to tenderize the cabbage, releasing its juices, and to pack it into the crock or other vessel for fermenting/curing. THAT might be the origin of “krauthammer”.
Hey Krauthammer,you don’t have to tweet the specifics of policy making,you can tweet,this, policy being forwarded is boneheaded,period,dead on arrival.
