You should be eternally grateful that the worst thing you can really say about Donald Trump is that he’s mean to knuckleheads on social media – and that literally is the worst thing you can say about Donald Trump without stepping into the territory of my new book, The 21 Biggest Lies About Donald Trump (and You!). Yeah, sometimes he tweets mean things, but always about terrible people. Get over it.
You should be glad he’s not, you know, destroying your healthcare, invading Iraq, or defiling the Oval Office like the last three nice guy tweeters did. So he’s poking Joe Scarborough, whose only fan is Nickelback because his music (Trigger Warning – NSFE: Not Safe For Ears) keeps them from being rock’s saddest punchline?
What’s the problem? Is Scarborough going to cry? In what way does his fussy fury matter?
This is purely an aesthetic critique – mean tweets just don’t seem to be something we would think that a president would do. It’s unseemly, they tut-tut. But so what? Thousands of parents have had their kids come home alive from a hitch in the service because Trump didn’t send them off to Whocaresistan to die in whatever new war cruise ship commando Bill Kristol and his lame establishment pals dreamed up. Dead soldiers, now that’s unseemly. And having a president who doesn’t squander their lives just because the establishment insists on it as a fair trade for a few jabs about Mr. Mika’s intern mortality rate.

Those expressing reservations about Trump’s tweets always do so with a “but,” as in “I really wish he wouldn’t tweet so much, BUT I’m still voting for him.” They understand the necessity of Trump, but also wish his brand of flamethrowing was not necessary. What they are doing when they bemoan his tweeting is registering their preference for another era, one where the left was not out to destroy America as currently constituted, along with the normals who constitute it.
But in the real world of today, the left is out to destroy America as currently constituted, along with the normals who constitute it, and if some social media drama is the price of victory so be it.
Mr. President, #KeepTweeting.
His tweets have actually become very uninteresting over the past ten days or so. I guess the campaign has taken control of his account.
All part of Operation Schmooze the Karens I guess.
I don’t care if he tweets or not. Although I signed up for Tweet I don’t use it as I have no use for it. When I get notices in my email it goes right into my spam folder
FR and Trump’s twitter have actually been my major sources of news over the past few years.
At this time in America’s history, we NEED a pro-America street fighter to save the Constitution and not another leftwing country club Uni-Party Republican.
Good article, and I think he’s onto something.
I’ve always said Trump should keep tweeting. He’s the first politician to ever use the internet to its fill potential, and to bypass the liberal political filter of ABCNBCCBSCNNMSNBC. And now Fox too for the most part.
We get his comments raw and unfiltered, and the politicians and press (but I repeat myself) hate it because
1. They can’t spin it to suit their own political narrative and
2. They didn’t think of it first.
Sure he sometimes says things we may not like...but he also exposes just how rotten some of these people really are in the process.
He never said you would like it, he just said it would be the truth.
There’s a reason the last song at all his rallies has alwats been “You Can’t Always Get What You Want ( you get what you need). That has not been unintentional...it’s the most blatant subliminal I’ve ever seen.
Kurt’s reasoning is ass-backwards here. I only care about the tweets because we need him to win re-election. His retarded tweets pointlessly jeopardize that re-election.
Heheh. But I doubt it. President Trump runs through cycles of more and less pith and trigger.
I guess you are right because this morning there is an absolute EXPLOSION of MAGA tweets going on over there.
Yeah, sometimes he tweets mean things, but always about terrible people.
He’s doing the job the media won’t do let the facts be known puts fear in the left.
Bravo!
