Donald Trump Skips TV for YouTube to Offer Brief Transition Update
Variety ^ | NOVEMBER 21, 2016 | 06:44PM PT | Andrew Wallenstein

Posted on 11/21/2016 10:09:16 PM PST by EliRoom8

Hours after scolding TV-news executives in a meeting, president-elect Donald Trump decided to make a brief address Monday on YouTube updating the nation on where his transition efforts stand.

In one of the few appearances he has made in the two weeks since he defeated Hillary Clinton for the U.S. presidency, Trump devoted the two-and-a-half-minute clip to an overview of his priorities, from interviewing cabinet members to his policy plans in the first 100 days.

He emphasized his intent to bring back more jobs to the country. “That’s what we want and that’s what we’ve been waiting for,” Trump said in what appeared to be a scripted speech.

In recent weeks, Trump has been criticized for not maintaining a high-enough profile beyond some controversial tweets and an interview in The Wall Street Journal. He is scheduled to meet Tuesday with executives and editors from the New York Times.

That he chose to make his videotaped comments on YouTube also comes as some surprise considering he has maintained a more active presence on Twitter, which can also support live and taped video. Trump also made much use of Facebook during his presidential campaign, to the point where his video efforts on that platform were widely considered to be a beta version of an anticipated Trump TV channel.

From a previous thread on this subject:

No-one, no-one, not a single other candidate, could ever assemble the constructs for such a paradigm shift in governmental communication. This stuff is off-the-charts breaking new territory.

(I just added: President-Elect Trump Releases Transition Message Directly to American People to the Paradigm Shift list)

In a Trumpian world

I think we have entered unknowingly into a new Space - Time continuum where Paradigm Shifts become more common:

Evidence:

1. Trump becomes President Elect

2. MSM, GOPe and the Dims shown to be closely coupled

3. CAIR designated as a terrorist organization

4. The EM Drive works

5. BREXIT occurred.

6.President-Elect Trump Releases Transition Message Directly to American People

We will have confirmation when Obamacare is repealed and replaced.

....and LePen elected at the new French PM

Enjoy the ride.

How long before Youtube starts restricting his video posts as they’ve done to Michelle Malkin and others?

Youtube. Twitter.
Who needs the “4th estate” telling us what to think?
He’s changing it all. Go Trump!

He can always put them on the White House website. Its not like YouTube has a monopoly on video technology.

“How long before Youtube starts restricting his video posts as they’ve done to Michelle Malkin and others?”

When that happens it is time for a hostile takeover of YouTube. It would be fairly simple to put together a coordinated buying of YouTube stock by conservative types

I guess that would be the “Office of the President Elect’s” web site.

Leave it to Trump to legitimize the office that Barry created only to gloat in.

It’s actually very simple. Trump has truth on his side. He’s simply telling the truth to Americans who have been bamboozled with BS for eight years, as the political and media classes worked their fingers to the bone trying to convince the universe that “The First Black President” could do no wrong. Even when he blatantly, obviously, did.

Americans in all walks of life are coming back to reality, and they now have a LEADER who will make that reality better, simply by identifying the problems that were always there, and finally doing something about them.
