Supreme court. The obsession with covering everything he says on twitter and very little what he does as president thats his preferred message of communication. The administration attempting to down play the importance of the president s tweets. The policy of the social media, chris. It is social media. It is not social media. It is his words. His thoughts.

Donald trumps Social Media Platform is a powerful way for him to connect with the people. Also education kalating his fight with londons mayor, accusing him of offering a pathetic excuse when he advised london residents not to be alarmed by increased security in the city.
