Audience gasps at Kellyanne Conways absurd claim: Trump won ergo his tweets are presidential

Audience gasps at Kellyanne Conway’s absurd claim: Trump won ergo his tweets are ‘presidential’

http://www.rawstory.com/2016/12/audience-gasps-at-kellyanne-conways-absurd-claim-trump-won-ergo-his-tweets-are-presidential/



During a forum at the Harvard Kennedy School’s Institute of Politics last week, a student questioned Trump’s use of Twitter as a communications strategy. In recent tweets, Trump made false claims about election fraud, attacked reporters and complained about his portrayal on Saturday Night Live.

“I will tell you that the president-elect looks at his social media accounts — combined 25 million, probably more at this point, users on Twitter and Facebook — as a very good platform which to convey his messages,” Conway explained. “He’s a unique person who’s been following his instincts and his judgement from the beginning.”

But CNN host Jake Tapper questioned whether Trump’s use of Twitter was “presidential behavior.”

“Well, he’s the president-elect,” Conway shrugged. “So that’s presidential behavior, yes.”

Please don't plan an attack while Saturday Night Live is airing; President Trump will be preoccupied. Fair's fair, guys.

If Trump fucked a goat and played the video on You Tube then it would be something a President has done. And by (Kellyanne's) definition that would make it Presidential.

Her logic is impeccable.
