Sowing Confusion Through Tweets

December 24, 2016 By Taegan Goddard

“Donald Trump’s sudden embrace this week of a nuclear arms race — and his staff’s scramble to minimize the fallout — underscored an emerging modus operandi for the president-elect: governance by chaos,” the Washington Post reports.

“Since winning the election, Trump has seemed to revel in tossing firecrackers in all directions, often using Twitter to offer brief but provocative pronouncements on foreign and domestic policies alike — and leaving it to others to flesh out his true intentions.”

Or how his son tried to use the presidency to make money.

Every time the media starts to pay attention to the important problems that Trump's incumbency will entail, Trump sends out some sort of insane tweet and changes the subject.
