Republican politicians and pundits are saying that the President should stop using Twitter.. Twitter is not the issue. Twitter is just another way of communicating. The thing is that late at night and early in the morning when the President doesn't have lawyers and political operatives looking over his shoulder he shows us exactly who he is in real time. In fact it has become an important vision on the the abject ignorance or purposeful deception on the part of the President of the United States.
Let's look at one situation. When the terror attack occurred on London Bridge, Mayor Sadiq Khan of London went on television and told the people of his city that there will be a heightened level of armed police officers on the street. He reassured them that there is no reason to be alarmed by this. He wanted to let people know a change in the number of police on the street was not because they were in immediate danger. You know like a a good public leader. so the President of United States tweeted: "At least 7 dead and 48 wounded in terror attack and Mayor of London says there is "no reason to be alarmed!" So the question is was the President just not smart enough to understand what was being said? Did he tweet without knowing the full context of the mayor's word? Was he just trying to attack an ally while they were in the aftermath of a terror attack? All of these show a lack of ability to act in a way that is part of being a world leader. So the media, doing there job of informing the American people, pointed out Trump's misunderstanding of the mayor and gave full context, publishing the quote:
“My message to Londoners and visitors to our great city is to be calm and vigilant today," Mr Khan said. "You will see an increased police presence today, including armed officers and uniformed officers.
"There is no reason to be alarmed by this. We are the safest global city in the world. You saw last night as a consequence of our planning, our preparation, the rehearsals that take place, the swift response from the emergency services tackling the terrorists and also helping the injured.”
Now a real leader would acknowledge the misunderstanding but of course the President didn't, in fact he attacked the mayor via Twitter .
"Pathetic excuse by London Mayor Sadiq Khan who had to think fast on his "no reason to be alarmed" statement. MSM is working hard to sell it!"
This is amazing to anyone who has a brain. Even after there was a deluge of the fact of what Mayor Kahn said the President continues to write his own version of reality. That is a level of disturbing that I don't think any real serious person should accept.
The issue isn't that Trump tweets telling us what he thinks, it is that he thinks these things. His weird covfefe tweet that was met with silence for several hours, his attack on Qu'tar, a place with a large forward command base in the fight on terror because of a Middle East political situation he didn't understand, and more and more. His travel ban tweets which undermined his own staffs pressure on the media to not call it a ban for legal reasons. And on and on and on. The President's twitter feed is a clear window on his ignorance, his incompetence and perhaps his criminal behavior in light of some of things being investigated. I say, let him tweet away and let him weave the proverbial rope that will hang his presidency.
