Our Nation Divided

Which twitter comment are you referring to?

None yet, but his inability to to stay off of twitter or keep his mouth shut about sensitive matters that need more explaining than "140 characterso or less" is a bit alarming. 

I just always thought the office of the President was (and should always be) above this whole "I know you are but what am I!" Grade school tit for tat. And he just can't help himself. 

Americans cannot read an entire article in the age of social media. No one reads full articles anymore, most react to articles based on the title alone and never once bother to read what was written after the title. Attention deficit fairly well describes each and every one of our youth and the majority of parents. Just saying, not judging.

However, what Trump is doing is speaking to his constituency, in a manner they understand. He is being transparent, Americans know what he is thinking, and their responses to him, if you noticed, have helped flesh out his policy in this election cycle. 

This entire election with Trump, has been a negotiation of what the American people want American policy to be, going forward. When he has changed his position slightly, it's been due to negative response, when he solidified his position and doubled down on it, it was due to positive responses.

I find it sad, that so many purportedly educated people seem to have missed that, in their quest to look down their noses at Trump and declare themselves more intelligent. (And I'm specifically thinking of the media here)

I would like to agree but he's said himself that he says things just to get people worked up. His whole "yeah we wanted to jail Clinton but now that we won we don't actually think that right?", or countless advisers that come out and say that he says one thing in public but doesn't actually believe it in private. That's a recipe for same old same old. (In my opinion). 

He's pandering. Like a politician. He's not negotiating at all, the only negotiation he's doing with his words are in between his ears. Trump speaks openly about the people he doesn't care about (everybody that's not a billionaire or one of the many politicians he's bought in his life) so his promises should be taken with a grain of salt.

Personally, one of the reasons I voted for him was because he said he would go after Hillary if he won.  I think a lot of people are going to be upset if he doesn't stay true to his word.

She is a criminal, and needs to be held accountable, just like any other person.  We wouldn't be over-looked if we did all that Hillary has done!

Yes, that will piss me off if he doesn't go after her!
