This is a serious question:

Now that he's elected, and no longer needs public opinion to get elected, what motivation does he have to listen to anyone - even if his team was inclined to try to control him?

I certainly wouldn't want to subject myself to the kind of abuse he's likely to heap on anyone trying to limit his freedome - when there's nothing to gain from it.

that's how they keep their spots on the gravy train.

... I want everyone to see how fuckin stupid he is without the M$M trying to normalize his dumb ass

notoriety. ... and some have their own ambitions/agendas.

Some of his voters think it's bravado and he's not really nuts.

I'm pretty sure he's nuts.

Close enough!

And his entourage kisses his ring, and don't ask why.

I'm not being sarcastic when I say - the dude is crazy.

according to his ghost writer and has the attention span of a flea. He finds Twitter tailor made. He issues this crap and refuses to elaborate on it, thinking he's said it all in one sentence, he's so bigly brilliant. We just don't understand it.

Also, his tweets were vile, petty, vindictive, and often a lie throughout the campaign -- yet he was elected president.

It works for him, and he likes it.

There's the view that we shouldn't treat his tweets seriously. I think, for him, no matter what he does, he knows he can resort to twitter to shape and control the narrative. And because we don't take his tweets seriously, that's another norm he has destroyed- we cannot take him at his word - maybe he's serious, maybe he isn't serious? Maybe he's joking or maybe not? And it will be his lifeline to his base, which will be his leverage against anyone within his own party who* raises concerns about his behavior...... Let's imagine how he would use twitter if impeachment becomes a possiblity..

... he says what he thinks and tells it like it is.

We are now living in an alternate universe in which all the outrageous tripe Trump says and tweets is normalized and doesn't hurt him politically. I thought his candidacy should have been destroyed multiple times by his own utterances, but his audience loved him for it. Hillary said "deplorables" once, and it was an inexcusable insult.

We'll see if the real world bites Teflon Donnie in the ass. Impeachment will likely be richly deserved, but highly unlikely with the rethugs controlling Congress.

Here is the caption on that cartoon:

“He tells it like it is.”

:shudder:

He has been doing it for years.

And America burns. Why they don't stop him? Did Hitler and those goons have a full brick load either? Nuts rule I guess. We are in an insane reality that makes no sense. If people don't demand it-it doesn't happen. The press should be camped out in front of Trump Tower in tents demanding it. Good one I know.

fans who are TOO STUPID to understand WHAT THEY HAVE DONE TO AMERICA

and WHO is going to STOP HIM? WHEN THE FUCK HAS THAT ENTITLED RICH ASSHOLE PIECE OF SHIT EVER LISTENED TO ANYONE?
