Trump argues his tweetstorms are ‘MODERN DAY PRESIDENTIAL’

The best defense is a good offense, President Trump contended in a clutch of early-evening tweets Saturday in which he seemed to argue he should keep up his Twitter habit.

“The FAKE & FRAUDULENT NEWS MEDIA is working hard to convince Republicans and others I should not use social media,” he wrote at 6:02 p.m.

“But remember, I won the 2016 election with interviews, speeches and social media. I had to beat #FakeNews, and did. We will continue to WIN!”

Six minutes later, he added a stinger: “I am thinking about changing the name #FakeNews CNN to #FraudNewsCNN!” He later pinned the tweet to the top of his page.

Trump has kept up an aggressive social media persona since his inauguration, despite many Republicans’ pleas for him to adopt a more dignified tone in keeping with Presidential tradition.

I keep my exposure to an absolute minimum to the MSM, the most i get is an hour or so with Fox and Friends First then the refular show until i leave for work, absolutely none of the day time shows are even recorded.

They start getting pushy? Just toss another bright, shiny new toy for them to go after. It would be high lunacy for President Trump to give up a potent weapon like tweeting to appease weak kneed Republicans who hate him anyway.

You're right - Trump tosses out 'Crazy Joe and Low I.Q. Mika' and the press is off and running... running after 'shiny'. Like dogs after a ball...

I love Twitter…. it’s like owning your own newspaper— without the losses.

I did the same thing before I taught my dogs to “Wait!” whenI went out the front door.

Just because a person is President doesn’t mean that person has to give up their right to free speech.

Trump has a sense of humor. Get over it pearl clutchers on the right.

NO CONTEST!

Trump is 100% CORRECT.

The MSM continually sounds like a pi$$y child.

Exactly.

Future events may include;

1. Congress passes massive Tax Cuts,

Trump Tweet’s “Rachel Maddow looks and acts like a typical angry Dyke, full of rage all month long”

2. The House approves funding for a Wall,

Trump Tweet’s “The snowflakes at CNN don’t want Americans to know the truth, fake news”

This could be really fun.

I’m sure Sarah Huckabee has rehearsed what to say tomorrow for press conference...I hope she physically laughs after CNN does a whinny boy thing tomorrow...that would be great.
