Trump’s tweets are irresponsible and un-presidential. Yet the real problem is not Trump’s addiction to social media – it’s ours. Trump uses Twitter to control news cycles because the press, the political class and his Democratic opponents continually empower him to do so.

Every time Trump tweets, he can count on an instantaneous reaction. His tweet fixation fuels a parasitic economy in which people compete to ride his digital coattails. Reporters, Democratic politicians, and social media influencers fall for it every time. They obsessively retweet, analyze and attack. This helps Trump tremendously.

2. I have Shitler on Ignore on DU and everywhere else...second hand reports of his insanity are fine.

Every comment made directly to his verbal diarrhoea is fodder for his next discharge.a

4. The only place I see his tweets is basically here...

when peeps post them for comment.

6. He blocked me during the campaign. I would never retweet that dumb fuck

7. remember: when we attack his tweets we're hitting where he wants us to hit

clearly he wants to be hated, it fuels him as much as the adoration from his rally mobs
and if he can manipulate the content of the hate itself, that no doubt gives him a power trip too

not saying he shouldn't be held to account for the fountain of garbage he spouts, but just remember it's part of his agenda.
