Some here seem to misunderstand anyone (Paddler is not included) who is conservative and criticizes Trump's tweets.
Should Trump tweet? Of course. It lets him get past the MSM.
Am I happy with Trump's accomplishments so far? Of course. Someone in this thread posted a whole list of them. Reading it, I could not think of a single accomplishment of Obama I thought was positive.
Someone accused me of preferring Romney to Trump. Rubbish. Romney was too nice to his enemies. But you shouldn't go off chasing minor windmills that don't matter either.
But some of the things Trump shoots off the cuff do not help his--our cause. He looks too erratic. For instance, I cringed when he was tweeting negatively about Jeff Sessions. A competent manager doesn't do that. Instead, you call Sessions into your office--privately, explain what you think he's doing right, explain what you think he's doing wrong, and ask him to correct the latter. If he doesn't do what you ask, then you fire him. No problem. But you don't criticize employees publicly. That's Management 101.
There are many other examples.
Someone posted that Trump is trying to keep the base fired up. I fear he may do the opposite. Look at his wiffle waffle on the 2nd Amendment recently and how some here reacted to it.
Trump may actually be firing up THEIR base, not by what he accomplishes but by some of the remarks he makes.
Why else did we just lose the election in Pennsylvania? 150,000 Republicans came out and voted in 2016. But only 113,000 Republicans voted two weeks ago. Sounds like our base needs a lot more motivating.
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.
Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.
Honestly, I don't see as he gains anything by constantly tweeting insults at people he doesn't like. When he's doing this, he's acting like a teenage girl who's spatting with some other little girl, over a boy that they both like.
I didn't vote for him to spend more time on Twitter than on getting the things done that he said he was going to do.
Yep.
I don’t wish he’d stop tweeting as it always implied by those rebutting these sorts of comments; I just wish he’d be more strategic and thoughtful when he tweets.
Also don’t give supervisory advice to employees and especially don’t fire them over twitter! That’s just unprofessional and makes you look inept.
DO use the worlds’ obsession with your tweets to direct policy conversations to your advantage.

I don't know what your department of expertise is, but it sure the hell isn't politics. Maybe you could collect some Winchesters and then opine away.

Trumps mouth, and twitter fingers will be his undoing. I voted for the man, and support his agenda. But he will never be able to accomplish it. I also have no doubts that McCabe, Comey, Hillary, Obama and others did things that should have at the minimum resulted in their removal. But I don't think for a minute that Trump is any better. He is as big a crook as the others.
The fact that the Muller investigation has gone 14 months with no announced findings means nothing. You don't let anyone know what you've found until the end. At least partly because you don't want people who will be interviewed in the future to know what you already know. For all we know he may already have enough to lock up the entire Trump family.
There may well not have been any collusion between Trump Sr. and the Russians. But there is absolutely no doubt there was Russian meddling. Remember, Nixon had nothing to do with the Watergate break in. There was 26 months of investigation before he finally resigned and the investigation wasn't over. Had he not resigned the investigation could have easily gone another year or more before he would have been impeached for obstruction of justice.
All of Trumps tweets plus on the record comments are by themselves pretty strong evidence of obstruction. If he is ever interviewed by Muller ANYTHING he says will end up being considered lying to an investigator. And they'll have his tweets and on the record comments as proof.
John Brennan on Trump:
"When the full extent of your venality, moral turpitude, and political corruption becomes known, you will take your rightful place as a disgraced demagogue in the dustbin of history. You may scapegoat Andy McCabe, but you will not destroy America ... America will triumph over you." Can I get an "Amen"?
Also, those on the Right that refuse to acknowledge Russia's meddling in our election, or the Trump campaign's coordinating with them, relinquish any claim to credibility or even patriotism.
You've relinquished any claim to humanity long ago lieberal. Hell awaits you.
We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth?
Immersing oneself in progressive lieberalism is no different than bathing in the sewage of Hell.
You all need to let Trump be Trump. He will anyway and it will just make life easier for you, rather than come off looking so lame and bitchy.
I used to have problems with it too, but came to realize that's just who he is, but also realized he's done more good for the country in months than anyone else has in years. Tweat away, Mr. President.
Lieberals are scared to death of him, too and I hope death of their foolish beliefs will be their outcome, as they are all to a inhuman person dead set on destroying this country. I never expected the lies to become so obnoxiously foolish and the tactics so brazen and criminal. May they reap what they sow.

Have you noticed that bad things start to happen to those targeted by those tweets, and it would seem that the media and everyone else starts getting twitchy whenever a new target presents itself.
If I did not know better I would think they are gradually being conditioned to react that way.

Hardly. The hick part!

I’m still unclear on this. What do you think Russia specifically did to meddle in the election? Offer trash on Hillary to the Trump campaign? Tamper somehow with the vote counts? Spread propaganda online? All of the above?

Probably got the hump because Mr Putin refused to give funding to the bitch and her minions.

Ah !, but he did give her funding, therein lies the rub! the collusion was/ is real, but as always was on the left. they always deflect.

Tweets like these make Trump look like a vindictive fool. Worse, they strengthen McCabe's contention that the whole thing is a vendetta by Trump, and halp the Defense claim their client can't get a fair trial, assuming one happens.
I support Trump's policies. I just wish he wouldn't act like such an idiot. He makes it harder to sell his policies.
Trump's only method to get his points out is via tweets. It is a sound bite way of communicating to a sound bite society. You don't your point across or get others to re tweet them if they are George Bush milquetoast tweets. How well has play nice sound nice worked for Republicans for the past 3 decades???
Trump understands todays society like no other politician.
Exactly. GWB would never respond to Democrat Media lies because he didn't want to "sully the office" of the Presidency. As a result, all he did was let the Democrat Media sully it instead. Trump is not letting them get away with the lies. He is able to expose the liberals like no one else before him.
The biggest problem our country has is not systemic racism, it's systemic stupidity.
Nothing wrong with responding to Democratic Media lies. Trump's problem is he goes out of his way to pick fights over issues that aren't worth fighting over.
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.
Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.

I would say $145 million to the clinton foundation is some funding.

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.
What I been thinking too.
We haven't learned by now that you can't fight emotional arguments with intelligent logic so.... just drive them crazy with "batchit but true". It may not be Presidential but the folks he is poking aren't exactly models of some sort of Congressional integrity.

Here's a good statement of the problem. It's from the Weekly Standard, a conservative organ which is decidedly not an apologist for RINOs or Democrats:
"What’s truly appalling here is the president’s childlike inability to keep his mouth shut—or his Twitter idle. McCabe was fired, and the OIG report, once it’s made public, seems likely to justify that firing. But the focus won’t be on McCabe and the reasons for his dismissal. By tweeting attacks on the Mueller investigation, McCabe, and the FBI itself, Trump has ensured that the story will instead be the degree to which the president sounds panicked and defensive about the Mueller investigation. For people otherwise convinced that McCabe should have been fired, in other words, Trump’s obsessive tweeting suggests that he has something to hide—even if he doesn’t.
"McCabe’s firing may have had nothing to do with anything but his own conduct. We don’t know yet. But if McCabe is guilty of an “unauthorized disclosure to the news media” and a “lack of candor,” Trump’s self-incriminating tweets put us in mind of that famous quip usually attributed to Talleyrand: 'It’s worse than a crime; it’s a blunder.'"
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.
Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.
Maybe Trump is a fool and yet he has become a billionaire and president of the United States as republican with at best the tacit support of the GOP. The genius's writing for the Weekly Standard have accomplished what in their live's from their mental pontification?
I find judging a man on his accomplishment's a much more accurate measure of the man than his pronouncements. Something to consider.
