Response to Trump's Twitter Usage
Response to Lania Manning's Time To Kick Trump Off Of Twitter https://amergovtblogging.blogspot.com/2019/12/time-to-kick-trump-off-twitter.html?showComment=1576281170627#c2867459522065996550
I completely agree with you upon the fact that Trump's twitter use is not only humiliating, but more so very dangerous for us. On the humiliating side, Trump tweeted about John Legend calling him a "boring" and his wife "foul mouthed." The fact that our President is even allowed to tweet at celebrities for whatever reason is, as you mentioned, highly unprofessional. On the dangerous side, his tweet about North Korea is terrifying. The concept that our President could pursue even further conflicts with other foreign countries through TWITTER, is absolutely obscene. I agree with you that there should be some sort of boundaries for use of social media in a position that high. Because social media is a relatively new source of media, maybe there hasn't been a need to create such laws. But like you said, Obama used a twitter platform in a professional manner, as a President should. So maybe it is just the idiocracy of Trump to even prompt the need for President social media laws. Your opening statement that he is the " most powerful man in the world" right now is chilling yet very true! Why should a man of such high power be allowed to blatantly misuse his power through reckless actions such as tweeting. Not only is it disconcerting, it's embarrassing for all of the people whom this one man represents as a whole. To answer your question, I don't necessarily think that the President should not have access/use of twitter. I believe that the problem is not the popular media platform, it is the person behind the account misusing it. Twitter is extremely beneficial to raise awareness about a number of issues, including political ones. Twitter most certainly can be used for good, especially to reach millennial and make us more informed. Banning twitter use for President's may be considered, but kicking Trump out of office would solve the embarrassing and dangerous issue altogether. Overall, your blog is intriguing and I'm in complete agreement!
