Why Trump’s Vengeful Tweeting Matters
National Review ^ | 29 June 2017 | David French

Posted on 06/30/2017 8:36:54 PM PDT by Belteshazzar

The president has a huge impact on the country’s political culture. Trump’s misuse of the bully pulpit ensures that that impact is negative in his case. So, he did it again. As we’ve learned countless times since his inauguration, President Trump is the exact same person as celebrity Trump and candidate Trump. He’s crass, vicious, and petty. This morning, he tweeted this:

Mr. French, why is Trump's tweet vengeful, and Mika's and Joe's continuous assault on the president's character since his election not vengeful? You fail to see that nothing will change the media's behavior except to return the same to them. Evidently, you have never dealt successfully with a bully. Such people understand only one thing, and Trump is giving it to them.

Yes, the culture must change. But the press must be part of the change ... and so too must the bankrupt dems.

I thought Trump’s tweet was screamingly funny.

The NWO globalist abortionist Satanist uniparty just don’t know how to deal with someone who speaks the truth. It’s so rude!

Nope. Frenchie is totally wrong. Trump’s tweets are now, and always have been, strategically designed to focus the enemy on his WORDS while his ACTIONS move from victory to victory.

After you get over the shock, it’s actually kind of funny.
Mr. Trump is simply a very unusual personality.
Meanwhile, he’s still getting the actual work done.

This is the National Review.

Big and early-on Never Trump folks.

Take what they say with a grain of salt and then ignore it.

The formerly conservative National Review is at a loss to figure out what is going on. Maybe they should just shut it down and go home?

He’s crass, vicious, and petty.

And the media are gracious, merciful, and transcendent.

Trump simply gives as good as he gets, and beats the slimedia at their own game.

They told us that the obamas and clintons were great; attractive, intelligent, classy....and it was all bull! But Trump has an alpha male, sharp sense of humor, and liberals heads spin and they vomit green filth. I love the tweets!

“Misuse” is a subjective term. By word thirteen the author exposes his bias.

I thought that tweet was strange, but these conservatives have to realize something once and for all. Republicans have treated politics as a game of golf, while Democrats, until recently, have treated it like a game of football. Nowadays, Democrats, the media and activists such as Antifa are playing Rollerball. Trump is our James Caan in this game, and he is giving back.

Yep. Lonnnng past these gutless squirts from the MSM get to throw flames continuously with zero return. Too bad most of the remaining GOPES continue to hide and shiver when the missives start.

Press is acting like a spoiled little girl because they cannot control him.

He’s crass, vicious, and petty.

In other words, he treats the press exactly as they treat him. I fail to see the problem.

OK, let’s just say he is crass, vicious, and petty for the sake of argument. It’s not like this stuff comes from left field. The same group of people that don’t like his tweets also called him a clown, made fun of his hair and makeup, and lived on the low road since he began his campaign. Where’s their accountability for professionalism?

This is the tactic the democrats have used to pummel the republicans for fifty years.

The democrats lie, cheat, steal, and talk dirty and pretend that it is hip wink at each other.

The republicans stick to their Sunday manners and refuse to be brought down to that level. Everybody laughs at the conflicted stooge unwilling to defend himself.

Trump is not the one to take harassment. He deals with them on their level.
