Agreed.
The chats will be a good way for Trump to reach the people and bypass the MSM, without having to use Twitter. I hate for Trump to use electronic communications now that we know that the CIA has easy access to them and can eavesdrop through them. I trust Trump but I do not trust his smartphone.
He already does, 140 characters at a time.
Why? What purpose would they serve?
More important are to 1) repent before it is too late—and don’t go along with Obamacare 2.0, 2) hire real conservatives who are loyal to his admin in the WH and across his cabinet at levels 2 and 3 down, 3) hold strong against any form of amnesty and accelerate his DHS ICE hiring, and 4) get real personal and business tax cuts into a single reconciliation bill with a straight repeal of Obamacare.
Then he won’t need any fireside chats, but he could hold them to make people understand why his only “replacement” of Obamacare will be the repeal of McCarron Ferguson and the tax exemption for employer-provided insurance.
THen niceties like repeal and replace the US’s UN participation and the repeal but don’t replace of the departments of commerce, education, etc. will just be gravy on an already meaty first term.
The "chats" would be followed by the Democrat response to the "chat", the talking heads in the media picking apart the "chat", the administration spokespeople explaining what Trump really meant by what he said a one point during the "chat", the GOP Congressional leadership declining to support what Trump proposed during the "chat", and so on and so on.
People today, especially young people don’t have time for chats.
And what about the CIA’s ability to hack into Trump’s device during the “chat”?
Besides, those that take the time to listen to the chats will, in general, not be influenced by the criticism of the loony left.
We must, at all cost, prevent any hacking of Trump’s phone when both he and his family can be targeted.
Trump should do “Fireside Chats” but make them entertaining and fun—to roll out new ideas and goals. Have guests on too.
He is a master at the media—use it to crush the MSM Liberal propaganda. How about these ideas?
A national contest to come up with solutions to Americans Problems—with a prize for the best workable idea to problems?
(This was done in Ancient China) Problems: battling racism? restore the inner cities? Fix education?
A National contest to comeup with new monuments to show Americans history and accomplishments? And ways to fund them? A Lottery to finish Crazy Horse Monument?
America Today (like Russia Today) but all that is good about USA for the world market. Things we do, make, sing and celebrate?
Telivise a special White House Telethon (hold it at Ford’s Theater) and put in the best and brighest all for a good cause. Help Vets? Help crippled Children?
Tap the Obama compound and put it on live TV! I might like to watch that.
How about a TRUMP CHANNEL on cable? How about a fundraiser to build or buy a Presidential Yacht when all future presidents could use to relax?
His TV channel should be Live Streaming by RSBN who has stood by him through all that long long primary.
This was discussed before he was elected. Suggested at the time how great an asset it would be. He understands twitter and his base would be there ready to hear him speak of our nation on a regular basis. His plans, what he has accomplished, hopes to accomplish. How this was done or will be done. Wonderful idea and do look forward to seeing it put into action.
