This is no way to dictate policy, fire employees, or run a government.

I guess that's partly why we get the ignoramuses for leaders. Their voters prefer their leaders to be as stupid as they are so they can feel superior.

A White House web page properly tended by staff, along with the occasional public statement or respectful press conference works just fine. You know, that adult thing that a certain former president had going on.

Gee, I can't imagine who that delightful, compassionate, intelligent, tan-suited former president might be.

or do they have to remove him? I'm not sure a tweet-less twit is a good thing right now. More time on twitter might be our saving grace. He might start thinking or something.

sorry. He is such a damaged person that as one psychologist told me when I was dealing with a supreme narcissist in my life, "You cannot use rational thought to understand irrational behavior."

On the one hand, he is crazy, so removing the main outlet for his insanity might make him blow up and try to attack a country or something. But he should be held to the same standard on Twitter. Plus, it is not fit for a supposed President to use it like he does.
