Hmmm... seems a little too petty and reactive for POTUS to bother with, IMHO. An honest and understandable reaction emotionally, but not all emotions and reactions must be Tweeted out for all the world.
Sooner or later, will there be POTUS Tweet fatigue among those of us who generally do support his policy positions and anti-unigovernment/anti-Swamp positions?
There is also a downside to letting one’s emotions and reactions be constantly geared to those of other random, insignificant people. In doing so, one cedes to others a measure of control over oneself.
Trump seems to be doing ‘rule 12’ for the rules for radicals..
and it seems he does it whether it’s North Korea or the NFL or the NBA.. or Hillary Clinton.
rule 12:
pick a target, freeze it, personalize it, polarize it.
the NBA, NFL and employees of said orgs, are not ‘insignifant. neither is hollywood. or the media. or hillary clinton. they have tremendous influence and significance in this nation.
And Trump picking them out as targets, freezing them,personalizing it and polarizing it, is a strategy. or he gets it naturally.
either way, that rule seems to be one trump uses. it explains the nicknames too..
Really!?!
I am not getting tired of it at all. I think the President handled this properly. I am sure there is something in the etiquette books about presuming invitations.
Trump is a fighter and winner.
Part,of me agrees with you, but part says “this is a new world of communications.” He’s just leveraging the best comms tool of the day to communicate directly to the people on a daily basis.
This particular tweet reads like a simple factual WH press statement, too, which is good. I really like the way it was written: short, pithy, to the point, actions have consequences. Subrosa is “you hurt your team, buddy!”
“Going to the White House is considered a great honor for a championship team. Stephen Curry is hesitating, thherefore invitation is withdrawn!”
The POTUS is setting a new standard...right from wrong.
