Thomas Friedman wants Trump back on Twitter

Because, for some idiotic reason, he thinks it will fracture the Republican party. All it's managed so far is to incite violence. I remember when he was a cheerleader for the Iraq War. He's one of those people some listen to for no discernible reason.

Please show me a recent example of any Democrat talking about defunding the police. I only hear it from Republicans claiming we talk about it all of the time.


Thomas Friedman is full of shit and a disgusting human being.

his brain is deteriorating. He misses Trump's tweets because he wants to write about him. Dems need to stop saying defund police, well where the hell has he been, that subject has been dissected until its death some time ago.
