Is Trump going to "run" the country via Twitter?

Yeah, my thread header looks like I'm just being sarcastic, but I'm dead serious.

Trump seems to have no real concept of what the Presidency actually is. And I don't just mean the details... but the actual freakin' office.

... I agree, but at least I did put "run" in quotes.

There's an old Canadian saying:

"He couldn't organize a piss-up in a brewery"

He knows no more that 140 characters and who knows if he actually does that typing? Idiot!

It's his way to do the end run around the "evil liberal press." Obviously, he gets little or no pushback and absolutely zero fact checking.

His minions eat it up. The reality based community is out of the loop.

see what they had to say...still am, actually...no, I do not enjoy it -

BUT - when that whatever-elect put out his video a week or so ago? Instead of holding a press conference, right? Well, "his people" freakin LOVED IT, Puzzler - it was as if their god emperor was intimately, lovingly, singularly addressing his beloveds -

I'm sure I wasn't the only one who got a deep chill over that...I could picture screens on the streets of the USA, with this - this creature issuing his deep thoughts on a daily basis -

Dead - serious stuff indeed, my friend -
