Thwn he can switch to another damn platform. To h3ll with them.

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

Exactly. When he gets in office this can be the method.

Unlike ObucketOshiite, I bet we do not get an announcement on MSM every week with President Trump and all the IIIIIIIIIs and Mememememememes to go with it.

Not that I watched a single one of them in 8 years, just heard about them

This reminds me—one of the biggest time-wasters in the federal bureaucracy are the “meetings” where the political appointees give speeches to the peons of their agencies.

Each political appointee has their own meetings (which of course are time eaters accomplishing nothing).

Trump should consider having all such presentations be on you-tube available for viewing and not held as time-wasting “meetings”.

I just heard a “tech update” on the news that after April 2017, the YouTube app won’t work on devices manufactured prior to 2013. That will certainly cut into his audience.

This truly is game changing. Trump is speaking directly to the public and bypassing the media. I can hear them quaking in their boots right now. Fantastic.

[Lazamataz]

This man is BRILLIANT!

Ronald Reagan reincarnated.

[bankwalker]

Funny how they still use the word ‘tape’.

[bankwalker]

YouTube is owned by Google.

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

Well, that will mean a whole bunch of people shifting to some other video hosting service, which will be explicitly friendly to conservatives.

Also in color unlike those fdr did on early TVs according to the professional fool, alternative history expert and plagiarizer joey b.

I think it’s great that President Elect is using YT and twitter. If it drives the marxist media crazy then I’m all for it.

[wally_bert]

The outfit I work for is almost government grade when it comes to endless meetings. I’m amazed that anything gets done at all.

I’m not important enough and rarely have to sit through one.

[LydiaLong]

In the internet generation, tv news is obsolete.

[LydiaLong]

He can just buy Youtube.

[Lady Heron]

Interesting that he had this meeting then that evening went out and by-passed the media with a direct YouTube video to the people.

He could not have been any clearer to the media....besides how many reran that video last night on their news outlets....unfiltered.
