Charles Krauthammer reacts to newly-minted Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) remarking "making America great again" requires more than a tweet from President-elect Trump.
BRET BAIER: On the Senate side, the top Democrat there, Chuck Schumer, took to the floor for his first speech talking about the president-elect's communication.
SENATE MINORITY LEADER CHUCK SCHUMER: These issues are too important for mere words. Our challenge is too entrenched for mere tweeting. Making America great again requires more than 140 characters per issue. With all due respect, America cannot afford a Twitter presidency.
BAIER: Charles.
CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: Sore loser. The tweets are working. I mean if they weren't, they wouldn't be using them. As Chuck [Lane] indicated, Trump has used it on North Korea, he's used it on Ford, on General Motors, on this issue, which he won within hours. It works. It has a lot of effect. And he's not even in office. I think when he is in office, it will be a little more problematic because people will be presuming policy out of this, and it's hard to be -- it's hard to be either detailed or specific enough in a tweet to actually make coherent policies....

Trump steals the narrative from the MSM with his tweets. I don’t see policy making in them, but his tweets make the conversations about what he wants not what the MSM wants. I hope he never stops letting his constituents know directly his thoughts so we don’t have to deal with the MSM setting the agenda!
Charles plastic faced sucks farts from dead farm animals Krauthammer wants Trump to ease up on the tweets.
You have it inverted. Trump’s ability to infuse dialog at random lets him control the narrative. GWB found out the hard way that there are few secrets on Capitol Hill and your enemies will conduct information warfare against you as soon as they get the drop. Since the rat’s operatives in the media never get the drop on Trump, they can’t sandbag him by controlling a false narrative. See tagline!
He won’t. Thank God he’s too smart for that!
Presidents have always gone directly to the people when they could, via broadcasting from the Oval Office. President Reagan was particularly good at it.
with 40 million followers on TWTR the donald can bypass the mainstream pravda machine .... and that is what his critics dont like... the msm violated public trust and lost ALL CONFIDENCE since they became the libtard propaganda machine...
that is why NYT has to rent out 8 floors in their corporate HQ... more to come.... financial disaster for dishonest “reporting”.... fabricating lies and distortion has a price...
tell me why the cia gave bezos a $600 million contract and suddenly the wapo leaks a story of russian hacking.... from the cia/brennan.... how stupid... how blatantly obvious...
TRUMP HAS EXPENDED MORE ENERGY AND DONE MORE WORK AND PRODUCED MORE RESULTS BETWEEN THE ELECTION AND TO DATE THAN THE FAILED LIMP WRISTED JIAHDI TRAITOR HAS EXPENDED OR PRODUCED IN 8 YEARS.... ISIS IS OBAMA’S BIGGEST ACCOMPLISHMENT AND SOON THE ACA WILL BE REMOVED... SOON THE EMPTY SUIT WILL BE REPLACED WITH A REAL PRESIDENT AND PATRIOT...
