I am blissfully ignorant of the Tweet world and how it works. I do not think Shitler's tweets should be given press coverage.

He's a control freak, the only way to keep up with him is via tweets.

It is also the only way we can have a grassroots response to him, gives us much more access than we would normally have.
And because of that access, he heard the blow back about Ivanka's bracelet hawking, about his foundation attempting to sell access
on Inauguration day, etc.
the fact that he lies constantly with zero remorse makes his statements on Twitter important, cause those do not go away when he denies saying something.. The other day he claimed the NYT did not fully quote him on his nuclear comment, but there, on Twitter, was his quote, just as they printed.
because Twitter is global, other countries are getting a good look at this ego maniac, and many are not liking what they see.

Coverage of Presidents have gone from newspapers, to radio , to tv, and now via social media. Trump is too unstable to be ignored, IMHO.

@XXX just brings it to the attention of people he particularly wants to see it.

Think of it like the "My Posts" tab on DU. When someone responds to your post, anyone on DU can read it - but the tab lights up so you will be sure to see it because otherwise you might not find it buried amidst all of the other posts on DU.

.. I saw the tweet you're referring to. It's unavailable for replies,
figures.. but anyway .. it looks as though he's making it a cc
to Donnie jr and Ivanka.

Be prepared for anything on day one he can't shut the hell up now and he hasn't taken the oath. I still be believe he will be impeached and those kids will be indicted for some reason,they have too much going on.
