5. It's also in the NYT

The contrasts pervade his campaign. Aides to Mr. Trump have finally wrested away the Twitter account that he used to colorfully — and often counterproductively — savage his rivals. But offline, Mr. Trump still privately muses about all of the ways he will punish his enemies after Election Day, including a threat to fund a “super PAC” with vengeance as its core mission.
. . .

Several advisers warned him that he risked becoming like a wild animal chasing its prey so zealously that it raced over a cliff — a reminder that he could pursue his grievances and his eagerness to fling insults, but that the cost would be a plunge into an electoral abyss.

Taking away Twitter turned out to be an essential move by his press team, which deprived him of a previously unfiltered channel for his aggressions.

11. And, President Obama just mocked him at a Rally!

2. Nukes?

His own people can't even trust him with Twitter and they want to give him the nuclear codes? Utter insanity.

9. Vox makes that point.

The question the reporting raises isn’t whether it’s safe to entrust the powers of the presidency to such a man. It’s how his own aides, who know better than anyone how hard it is to restrain Trump, are still justifying it to themselves.

Now that it is public that it has been taken away, I would be surprised if his ego didn't require him to wrest back the Twitter account. Having to have a chaparone to keep him behaving has got to be a big blow to his ego.

7. Obama is having fun

He was just poking Trump about this at a rally. "If you cant be trusted with twitter, you cant handle the nuclear codes..." They are baiting the hook again...

so he thinks he's tweeting, but they're going nowhere.
