The tycoon became president continued to use the social network frantically
Donald Trump may not have had the biggest crowd in his nomination, but he has the biggest crowd following him on Twitter. With 42 million followers, he is the world's most popular head of state on the social network. Probably because he tweets wrongly and these little messages give a rather edifying overview of the deep thoughts of the President of the United States.
It usually starts around 6 o'clock in the morning and after a break during the day, it starts again at the end of the evening. Tweets are often unrelated to important topics of the day. Donald Trump seems to react to what he sees on TV that he watches all day long. He also chooses his timing. When he pardoned sheriff Joe Arpaio, a racist and controversial sheriff, he did it just as a hurricane hit Texas. "I thought that the success (of the tweet, Ed) would be much higher than it is normally," he says cynically on his account.
Trump uses Twitter to get lathered, to make his opinions known, and especially to insult his critics. He also uses it to govern, forgetting in passing that the United States is not an absolute monarchy, but a democracy.
For his supporters, this is proof that he is the outsider who attacks the establishment and makes fun of the politically correct. For the president, this is a way to speak directly to his constituents, without the media filter that are all biased, he said. And it does not matter if these messages are very far from the truth, even obvious lies. In contrast, according to a recent poll nearly 70% of voters would like him to tweet less. Given this small anthology, one year after his election, we can only share this opinion.
1 "I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally."
Trump badly elected? The idea in supports it, hence the idea of massive electoral fraud in favor of Clinton. The president even started a commission on the question ... She did not find anything.
2 "Terrible! Just discovered that Obama put me on plays at the Trump Tower just before the victory. He found nothing. It's Maccarthyism!"
Terrible indeed! For never had a president accused his predecessor of having spied on him. All, without any proof. The FBI director at the time denied the information.
3 "James Comey would better hope that there are no recordings of our conversations before he starts to spread himself in the press!"
President Trump fired James Comey, the FBI boss, in May in the middle of the investigation into Russian interference in the elections. Which triggered a huge scandal. In a meeting with Russian leaders, Trump will say that he fired him to get rid of "the Russian thing" and that suddenly it limited "the big pressure" that was on him... Well not quite because the dismissal of Comey led to the appointment of Robert Mueller, a special prosecutor.
4 "I heard that Morning Joe at the shabby ratings was hurting me (I'm watching more). How come the crazy Mika with the Psycho Joe came to Mar-a-Lago three nights around the New Year and insisted on being with me. She was all bloody after a facelift. I said no !"
President Trump attacks Mika Brzezinski, a presenter on a MSNBC morning show who criticized him. This is not the first time he has attacked female journalists with very hostile comments.
5 "Just heard the Minister of Foreign Affairs of North Korea speak at the United Nations. If it echoes the thoughts of Little Rocket Man, they will not be there very long!"
While North Korea has become a nuclear power and directly threatens Japan and South Korea, Trump attacks Kim Jong-un whom he nicknamed "Rocket Man" and threatens to "completely destroy North Korea." Later, while his state sectarian is in Beijing to try to bring China to put pressure on his ally, the president tweets again:
"I told Rex Tillerson, our wonderful Secretary of State, that he was wasting his time trying to negotiate with Little Rocket Man. Keep your energy Rex, we will do what it is necessary to do. "
"Being nice to Rocket Man has not worked for 25 years, why would it work now? "
6 "We can not keep FEMA indefinitely, the army and the emergency personnel who have done a fabulous job under harsh conditions in Puerto Rico."
After the hurricane that ravaged Puerto Rico, he attacked with a shocking lack of empathy to the mayor who criticized it and attacked the bankrupt island. Forgetting that Puerto Rico is an American territory.
7 "With all the fake news coming from NBC and the other channels, when is it appropriate to question their license?"
It sounds like a call to muzzle the media in a country where freedom of expression is sacrosanct. But it's also impossible, because NBC does not have a license ...
8 "Everyone is wondering why the Justice Department and the FBI are not investigating all the dishonesty of Hillary the Rogue and the Democrats ..."
The message is pressuring the Justice Department to attack a political opponent, including Clinton on the e-mail issue. For the same reason, President Nixon was impeached.
9 "After consultation with my generals and my military experts, be advised that the United States Government will no longer accept ... transgender people in the military."
The problem is that the Pentagon has not been warned, that Trump has no plan and that, especially, his tweet goes against the words of the lawyers of the administration. At that time, they cleared the file, saying that the file was under consideration and that there might be no prohibition. The presidential tweet creates the biggest confusion. A judge temporarily blocked the decision.
10 What Trump does not tweet is just as interesting.
He did not tweet about the GI case killed in a secret mission in Niger or the California fires that killed 40 people because it is an anti-Trump state. Or on the Muslims who were attacked. When a mosque in Minnesota was bombed in August, the president was away from subscribers.
