Rest assured there’s gonna be a book, Best of Trump (Tweets)
Imma get the special edition
He is correct that he could shoot someone in broad daylight and his supporters wouldn’t bat an eye, people like to be lead. The knee jerk tweets have become increasingly entertaining with each day of his presidency, I hope it doesn’t stop :)
A part of me also really enjoys his tweets. He's blatantly trolling in some of the tweets that people get triggered by. He's delivered some good beatdowns.
But I also recognize that the part of me that enjoys his tweets is probably a bad part of myself. Demagogues are appealing for a reason. They appeal to some of our deeper desires, ignorance, and internal prejudices.
I also remember he is the President of the United States. I think he's a disgrace to the office of the President and a national embarrassment. I hope our next President, whether it's Mike Pence or whoever, restores some of the presidential and democratic norms that Trump has abandoned.
But in the moment? Yeah, I think it's funny as hell when he calls Elizabeth Warren Pocahontas, rags on Kim Jun Un for being a fat and short rocketman, and slams Richard Blumenthal for not actually serving in Vietnam.
