If nothing else, it's entertaining as all hell. Tweet away. Too bad if you punch the bully in the eye while you're doing it. Fu ck 'em.
Camp is where you make it.

Best thing about trump is he isn't a politician. They try to make everyone happy without offending anyone. Trump is more realistic. ANY decision is going to offend someone, anything you say will offend someone. He doesn't care. Says what he thinks is right and moves on.
About time.
+1 and he's not affected by the bribes from special interest groups. Those folks don't know what to do if they can't buy votes - refreshing.

I love it. One of the reasons for Bush 43's downfall and Obama's subsequent ascent was the unrelenting, unresponded-to lies from the left. Bush refused to "sully" the office of President by responding but it made the lies look like truth. It hurt him and it cost lives in Iraq and Afghanistan. He never realized that the greatest enemy this country has is not Iraq, Afghanistan, Russia, China, ISIS, etc. It is liberalism and nowhere is liberalism more rampant than in the mainstream media. Trump's ability to combat that is why he won and how he will be successful as President.
The biggest problem our country has is not systemic racism, it's systemic stupidity.

How long after the inauguration do you think it will be before Twitter (under pressure from the left and the MSM) closes Trump's account?
As long as he can "tweet" he is in control. Take that account away and Trump will be severely crippled.
Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.

Trump uses Tweets to bypass the hostile media. By doing so, he controls/sets the narrative/agenda and here we are, talking about it.

Trump and his Twitter account are the most astoundingly effective weapon ever wielded by a GOP President elect. George Bush was paralyzed by any and all criticism. Romney ran and hid from criticism. Trump actively goes after his critics, and fights back. I applaud him for kicking the ankle biters. This is the appeal of Trump to Blue Collar white Union voter that the Dems never got. They (and many of the rest of us) grew sick and tired of the GOP leaders wilting and pussing out the first time CNN and Salon and HuffPO criticized them.

It ain't nearly so much fun to snipe from the weeds if you know you're gonna get a prompt machine gun blast. I love it.

Between Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, Trump has almost 50 million followers for his direct message. Many more people than tune into CNN on any given day. Also this, Twitter gets news out so fast that by the time Media builds in "spin", the real story has been told twice already. Twitter is the new media - it's quick, short, honest and nobody get a chance to spin it before it hits the public. The conventional media is scrambling to keep up and losing ground every minute, much like print media is now dead. Trump is and has been a step ahead of the media all along.

I doubt any news network has 50 mil viewers at any one time. The Donald does... Every time he tweets... And don't ya know, that really pizzes'em off... DF

I'd wager his account is the single most important account they have and accounts for a significant percentage of new followers and company growth.

I guess he can keep it up, as it seems to be today's method for staying informed. Trump needs some sharp writers though capable of drafting comebacks with serious bite. Seems many of Great Britain's leaders have a real talent for putting people in place with just a one liner. Haven't heard any of Trump's responses that come even close to being classics.

Twitter gives Trump great power over the MSM, it's a beautiful thing to behold.

I got an idea.
I think I'll give him a few months actually in office before I bitch about tweeting. This. I do think Trump looks like a Buffoon when he battles with people of no consequence on twitter. I hope he tempers that.

Twitter is DT's answer to the old sayin that a lie makes it halfway round the world before the truth's got its pants on.
With DT, the truth is round the world before the lie can be spun.

Nope no problem at all with you starting this thread hatari
Good discussion
''Tis evident the mileage varies and I'm good with that as posters make some valid,points about not just rolling over and taking the criticisms of his detractors
Will have to say I agree with the poster that opined, he needs some witty bastid to do the responding for him on twitter
I'm thinking steelhead and bristoe could do well with that job
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

"Look, I don't like tweeting. I have other things I could be doing. But I get very dishonest media, very dishonest press. And it's my only way that I can counteract," said the Republican president-elect.
