(120,001 posts)every damn they think of, especially snarky comments and ripostes to someone else's tweets - especially Trump's. If you have some news that can be announced in a short sentence or two, Twitter is fine. But don't use it for policy announcements where subtlety is needed or for political pissing contests. The writer of this LTTE said it very well:

comments to his tweets are irrelevant.
This is why I hate jack so much. for letting this happen. So much damage and danger.

(53,410 posts)that tweeting a response is seen by millions of people if you take into consideration retweeting and simply posting on forums like this one. It has raised our consciousness in ways we havent even fathomed yet. And judging by Trumps responses you can bet someone is reading them.
Plus, its not even necessary for Trump to read them when we are. Every time there is a response we know it. We, the People. We, the voters. In a very real world it is Democracy and the First Amendment in full blown action, warts and all!
Ithink our Founding Fathers would approve of it. I think they would use it if they were alive today.
