He regained two hours of his day by eliminating the daily brief... EarthFirst Apr 2020 #1
Probably more than that because he is probably ignoring the entire task force. Renew Deal Apr 2020 #7

or his Nuremberg-style rallies any more, so he has to have some other way of getting the attention he craves. Twitter is about all he's got. I expected that there would be some epic rage-tweeting and here it is. It will probably get worse.

He tweeted out "Happy Birthday to Melania, our great First Lady!" at 9:06 this morning.

Then he promptly forgot all about her and went off the deep end about the 'Noble' (sic) Prize, before deleting *that* and giving a definition of 'noble' and claiming it was sarcasm or satire or something else he doesn't understand, then retweeting the far-right portion of the free world to bury his original comments.

I've noticed that he tends to do this when he's tweeted out something especially stupid.

It makes it really hard to sift out what he's currently prattling on about when you have to wade through all of the other stuff. He's taken to retweeting out shit from OANN and other far-right nutcase sources, along with cut-n-paste endorsements for wingnut candidates for pretty much any local office. It really buries what he's really saying.

but I would like Biden to pledge to a twitter-free presidency. I think it is a detriment to real communication.
