Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire The Boss Is At It Again .... Trump's Itchy Twitter Finger This Morning ....

Absolutely correct. It’s highly unusual to see a POTUS say exactly what he’s thinking and that’s thrown everyone, except his base, off their rocker. His tweets were part of his success on Election Day and I don’t want him to stop. Not only does it unhinge his opposition but it often sends them down the rabbit hole on wild chases that distract them from his goals. I’ve never tweeted and have no plans to ever tweet but it sure as hell gets his point across.

Some of y'all crack me up. More than likely he pays some friend of Baron's a hundred grand a year to tweet for him. "Here's a list of people I don't like kid, just tweet insults at them. That chick over there will help you with what to say but just be sure it's really insulting. Btw I read this [bleep] once in awhile and really enjoy your tweets. Keep up the good work."

at least sort of, there it is. post modern politics must include the newest and bestest social media outlets.

and we all know that tv is passe, even cablenews tv. (cnn, fox, msnbc)

but tweeting is where it's at.

What he's doing by Tweeting as he does is put info out there on the same level as the Left. The emotion driven responses just distracts the Hell out of them while he goes about getting stuff done.

The two or three minutes a day Tweeting this stuff is actually quite valuable. #1, it resonates with his base, #2, it drives the emotion-driven Left bat scheit crazy, #3, it makes his enemies constantly underestimate him, #4, he actually lets out hints of what's really going on and what's about to happen.

Make no mistake, he is a very calculating individual who wouldn't waste time and energy on irrelevant stuff. As another poster mentioned, he's not working on his Final Four picks as the POS who last stunk up the Oval Office did.

That was part of Obama’s extraordinary legacy.

If it wasn't for Trump's tweets, the MSM propaganda would go unchallenged.

Yes,he could just play golf every day and take 4 vacations a year.

Ethan, You couldn’t be more wrong. Everything that Trump has said regarding tweets, everything his team says about his tweets and everything his detractors say about his tweets is in stark contrast to your “guess”. Irregardless though the tweets are effective and seem to serve his ultimate goal so we can argue over who’s guess is correct but all that matters ultimately is that the tweets serve his goal of communicating directly with his constituents without the biased filter of the media.

Why did it take so long for Mr. Trump to come to the conclusion about #3? It's been known for months and months now.

Okay.

Turn on your sarcasm meter.

All very true. But, most of his supporters on here don't give a damn about his policies. They just want to see him "stick it to the Democrats."

Well, he's not getting a lot accomplished either way, is he.

Bravo! Spot on.

DJT = HMFIC!!!!

Lolol....his tweets are working....the proof of such is contained within the context of the responses from “conservatives” here. You gotta tear it down before you rebuild it but some folks can’t stand seeing the burned out shell of their dreams of globalism torn down and they fear that they’ll not be able to survive in the new building of freedom and constitutionality. It’s always easier for them to know that Uncle Sugar will save them from themselves. Freedom is scary for many people because they don’t possess the necessary tools to survive without government intervention.

Just because he didn't come out and say it months ago doesn't mean he wasn't aware of it long ago.

C'mon, give the guy a little credit!
