A little birdie told me so.......

 

Back in the early days of Presidential Campaigning,  the Candidates used to stand on whatever tall place was available to give speeches and have town forums.

In most cases it was on a tree stump or wooden crate...Hence the old cliches (on the stump) and (get off your soap box). 

But now our newly elected President has taken this to a whole new level of technology.  

TWITTER!

Now a our leaders don't even need to call a hastily arranged Press conference in the middle of the night to alert the public of an important detail or rapidly unfolding event.

 

All Trump has to do is sit on the Golden Commode at Trump tower and say whatever comes to mind and it instantly becomes news to millions of his followers.

At least with Hillary, we could delete the email, (pun intended), with Trump he just figures out a way to twist a lie to almost be a truth in less than 140 characters and everyone downstream laps it up like a kitten in the kitchen with a bowl of milk.

How is this going to work after he gets sworn in?  Do we let him just rant and rave like a teenage girl after Homecoming? Just got the keys to the country,  gonna make great things happen now! OR, Bomb Bomb Bomb, Bomb Bomb Iran!

The one thing about a press conference is he has to answer questions on the fly and needs to know a lot about whatever subject he is asked about.  I honestly think Trump has no depth. WYSIWYG....(what you see is what you get).

So in order for him to remain the Man in the High Tower, and keep the ill informed and unsophisticated fired  up, he just takes whatever good news is in the headlines and makes it seem like it was his idea all along, or he takes something bad and blames it on the liberal boogeyman and keeps turning the hate pot.

He already is trying to dodge the media by not letting them follow him or set up a pool reporter.

This is the kind of stuff  3rd  world Strongmen do. They take power to themselves and take it away bit by bit from the rest of the citizens.

If you have never read 'Animal Farm' by George Orwell, now would be a good time. 

Here is a link to the Kindle version

I want my news about government from an impartial 3rd party..The 4th estate as its called is what makes America great! Not a tweet from a Reality TV star. 

There are no checks and balance with a tweet. Once its out there, its hard to disprove and even harder to retract. You cant prove a negative. Headlines are on page 1, retractions on page 21. Another old cliche, you cant UN-ring a bell.

Here is a perfect example of what to expect in the future:

Trump stops Ford from moving car production to Mexico

He will never be a Uniter. As long as he can go around unchecked and say whatever he wants, whenever he wants, the only thing for sure, is no one can rest easy. 

To twist a phrase, Trump is like a box of chocolates, You never know what your going to get! 

And that was only 67 characters..............😁
