If you can't be trusted to not make a fool of yourself on Twitter

how on earth can you be trusted to not be the same kind of fool while holding office?

If your ah - temperament - is so unstable that outside forces have to hold you back from self-destruction, how can anyone expect you to perform the duties of President without the same shadow hanging over the entire nation?

If you can't handle Twitter, how can you possibly handle matters of state?

As president, you are the diplomat's diplomat, the highest one in the land - because you represent the entire country - and if Twitter defeats you, then you're not ready to step outside the safety of your gold plated john.

Just my opinion.
