President Trump seems to be creating a lot of controversy lately using his Twitter messages. I'm wondering if he should just stop using Twitter as his official means of communication. Perhaps if he gave regular press conferences, like previous Presidents, he could get his message across better. What do you all think?
Not with a hostile and dishonest media that routinely twists, distorts and falsifies what he says. Twitter enables him to communicate straight to the American people, so he's not going to stop using it to get his message out.
I'm thinking that if he talked directly to the press he would weigh his words more carefully. Much of what he has been saying recently comes out sounding very ugly.
Twitter puts his message out for review. The impudent MSM has very little control over the President agenda as he sets it with twitter. He has emasculated their superiority by setting the news agenda. The Prez is a street fighting counter puncher. Don't attack him or his people and you'll never be heard of. He is a new world media participant.
Oh sure, because we need Don Lemon, Fredo and the rest of the unhinged clowns to pass his comments on to us. AMERICA’S BLOG OF RECORD: Twitter Rolls Out New Feature That Auto-Posts “Ban Assault Rifles!” From Your Account Any Time a Mass Shooting Hashtag Starts Trending. (Yes, it’s satire, but really, would it surprise you?)
Why would anyone these days want the media to rewrite their messages for them? Now that media are content generators, end not just reporters, it doesn't seem necessary that reporters need to be involved in that process. When Trump says something about the strength of the economy and the media report that he said the economy was faltering or weak, perhaps you can see why everyone would not want the use the reporting news stations to deliver their message to the public.
Trump tweets so he can control the conversation. Like salivating dogs, the liberal press will respond in a predictable manner, usually lots of whining and hair pulling. Trump sets the whole week of liberal whining up every Sunday, unless something else comes up...
While IDGAF either way, I find it HILARIOUS that since Obummer was Crowned King of Social Media during his terms, Trump is vilified for doing exactly what Obummer did, by turning social media into a political tool. So many Political Tools today. Tools everywhere.
Honestly he does and quite frankly so do a lot of people because most of what they type is either insanely stupid, insanely divisive, something personal that doesn’t need to be shared or any combination of the three.
Maybe we should eliminate a persons freedom of speech when they get elected. Or maybe they could all follow Obama's lead and rarely speak without a carefully written script. (I don't Twitter, but Donald J. Trump is my first feed on Facebook.) #TRUMP2020
You have to give President Trump when it came to dealing with Telemundo's reconquista George Ramos and fake news CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta.
They just lie and twist his words . From the day he came down the escalator. Quit trying to silence the president.
I certainly think he should not be the one dealing with the public. He has no tact. Some things he needs to say are brutally honest and the way he words things comes across as mean. Just because Elijah Cummings is a piece of garbage as it relates to working for his constituents doesn't mean Trump should say so.
Unfortunately, Trump can't speak well even with a carefully written script. Did you see how he stumbled over his words giving that speech a few days after the mass shootings?
If being a piece of garbage is related to how a person works for his constituents, Trump is right there with Elijah Cummings.
I agree. Remember Joe Biden describing Barack as 'a clean, articulate black man without a hint of negro dialect?' Articulate is important to Dems because the real party leaders need a puppet they can count on to get their msg out. Obama was perfect for that job. Read like a pro and rarely veered off course. Unfortunately, talking pretty wasnt enough to make any lasting progress toward their goals. Nope, Donald Trump doesn't have an articulate bone in his body. He says what he thinks and rarely reads from a script. He has very little filter and gives as good as he gets. Same guy we elected... He hasn't changed a bit.
A man with very little filter should NEVER go into public life. Just my opinion. Also, President Obama was a gifted public speaker. He could speak in complete sentences and make himself clearly understood. He knew how to get his point across without name calling or insults. I sure do miss him.
Obama was a blathering fool without a script. Your memory is much too kind. Don't forget Barack was the medias darling. He was protected... of course he never fought back... never had to.
At least students of the future won't have to spend much time on the chapter about Obama. Two or three paragraphs oughta cover his 8 yrs.
