Just get up early in the morning, tweet any kind of bullshit, the more controversial the better, and it will be the news story of the day. Especially when the leader of the free world does it.

His tweets are like a small unstable dog that fights against leash training.
He thinks he'll keep up the pace, and his owners will get tired, and let him not be on the leash.
