It must really suck for the MSM to have no one care what they think or what they say...

I just wish he would stay the hell of "Twitter" ... that is no place for a PRESIDENT. And neither are the late night talk shows. Nothing "irks" me more than to see the "most powerful man in the world" yukking it up with the likes of the "late night comedians".

We have a country to rebuild, and all that frivolous crap should be left up to the frivolous multitudes. The President should be spending that time figuring out how to build a new infrastructure, how to cut taxes, reform health systems, etc. This is a weakness he has, and he should stay the hell away from it.

One thing anyone with a double digit IQ has figured out by now: anything Donald Trump tweets will be called a rant, meltdown, or explosion by the people he’s tweeting about....

President Trump isn’t like Bush. The press can’t beat up on him all day and night with no push back. The Donald will fight back. That’s why we elected him.

I get it now, after watching 60 Minutes.

Social Media like twitter and facebook allow him to go over the heads of the media and talk directly to the people. Just like Reagan and the oval office speeches.

Also, every time he tweets, the media goes ballistic and amplifies the tweet.

Trump should keep using twitter and facebook as necessary.

I thought he meant after he was sore in as President? Maybe cee B S would feel better if he set up a server in his basement?

Stating a fact in a reasoned way is not a rant. The media complaining that he went around the MSM to state that fact IS a rant.

Favorite asinine juvenile trick of the left - accuse your victim of what you're doing to them.

Another example is to accuse someone of hurting people through verbal bigotry of some kind, when the accusation of harm cannot be proven - thus the accusation of bigotry itself is the only actual harm done.

Doesn’t sound much like a rant, it sounds like he’s just doubting another phony story about being impartial. Does anyone think the NYT is going to be impartial?

After promises last week to curb his sometimes controversial use of Twitter, President-elect Donald Trump went on another of his infamous tweetstorms early Sunday, targeting the New York Times for their “BAD coverage” of his presidential campaign. Here are Trump’s critical tweets about the Times, in which he claims the newspaper had sent a letter to their subscribers apologizing for their election reporting:

Unreal.

CLAIMS the NYT sent a letter apologizing for their horrific coverage this election season? They freakin did, you unabashed propagandists!!!!

One thing I picked up in the “Sixty Minutes” interview with Trump is that the MSM is terrified of his use of Twitter and Facebook because it allows him to go around them - he needs not one more interview with a dolt like Leslie Stahl to get his message out - 24 million followers are waiting to see what he says next directly to them, and they know people, and they know people - good bye NY Times, WaPo, CBS, CNN, and all the rest of the filters who’ve shaped the news for generations.....

If he did it EVERY day for 8 years it might not be enough.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
It wouldn’t be enough, which is why we must help him by bashing the MSM at every opportunity both publicly and in private conversation. Those indoctrinated imbeciles damn near caused the ruination of our country and we should never let them forget it.

The media hates that a republican president no longer needs their biased filter to communicate his message.

I agree, especially re the late-night comedians. Don’t know much of anything about Twitter, but I’ve heard that he may have favorably influenced many thousands of young voters by using it prior to the election.
