And Trumps a white male, conservative, and has money. Easy target.

Love or hate him, he’s not an EASY target because he is the first guy in thirty years to respond to attacks upon him.

That’s why twitter and other social media are huge.

He can bypass them.

I’m on his twitter feed. So are millions of others.

For those who don't want to 'register' for Twitter, don't want to post on Twitter, but DO want to see his Twitter posts....

Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump)

I just signed up for Gab.. quite the wait for an account, it seems.. we’re going to have to rapid-fire against the left starting in 10 days, around the clock. Just like we did in the primaries, just on the same team this go-round :)

Of course they won’t. That’s why Mr. Trump will use Twitter to put out the information he wants the country to have. (and if Twitter don’t like it he can Nationalize them.)

I used to hang my head and cuss when GWBush would do his rope-a-dope routine against vicious attacks from media-crats. That handed the 2008 election to Obama. It was a huge mistake. Cheney later admitted as much.

Trump has it right. You fight back. You defend yourself, your supporters, your administration, your nation.

I’m amazed anyone thought otherwise.

I wouldn’t worry about the MSM. Have you looked at the replies to his tweets???

Talk about a liberal hate fest!

New Twitter-like app that’s in beta testing now. Sounds pretty good from what I’ve heard. Long wait list to join, I guess. Don’t know a lot about it but I think there are some FReepers using/testing the beta version now. It won’t be subject to censoring as Twitter is starting to do.

He know that. And, that is why he goes directly to twitter. His message is unfiltered by the stoops in the media.

Don't expect me to give the U.S. media any of my business or patronage. I simply won't listen to, or read the words of people who are proven to be purposely lying to me.

At this point it's FR, Breitbart, Drudge, or foreign/British media only.

I agree. He is a big target for sure, but not an easy mark in any way. I’m sure they will keep attacking as it has always worked for them in the past. They will become frustrated thought that their attacks always miss the kill zone. Who knows, perhaps they may even get so frustrated as to throw in the towel. 8>)

Advice that only shockingly stupid people need:

Don’t expect media to give Trump fair shake.
Don’t expect a prostitute to fall in love after a 30-minute “date”.
Don’t expect Fast service from the Department of Motor Vehicles or friendly service from the IRS.
