All Hail The King of Tweet

Of all the things Donald Trump does, the least presidential is his tweeting. Former Presidents have always carefully thought over what they would say in public and then spoken in some sort of respectable way, using some respectable venue. They have issued press releases, made proclamations or addressed the nation through legitimate media.

Not Donald J. Trump. His preferred mode of public communication is to post his pithy (please excuse my lisp) thoughts in short form on a venue more often used by the hoi polloi. If he feels like threatening some public official he has just fired, he sits on his toilet in the White House, with the door closed, and thumbs his cell phone screen while he thumbs his nose at decorum and any sense of propriety.

One can almost hear gas escaping and reverberating against the bowl while he posts his brief, mindless nonsense.

This is our 45th President. This is the man who sits on his porcelain throne and would rule the world. This is what we have instead of leadership.

I don't know quite who to thank for our wonderful good fortune. But, thanks a whole pile, whoever you were...
