Trump’s Twitter feed traumatizes Washington
Trent Lott says his feed ‘unnerves me.”
Donald Trump’s unique, chaos theory of presidential communications is upending Washington, leaving lawmakers, government officials and lobbyists aghast that they are beholden to a single leader’s whims, not to mention the uncertainty about his true thoughts and intentions.
Unlike more traditional administrations, in which a White House focuses on one big agenda item at a time and mobilizes all resources to galvanize public and congressional support for it, Trump has shown no sign of abandoning his off-the-cuff, scattershot approach to tweeting. And in a town that relies on information flow, Trump’s unpredictable style threatens to paralyze Washington’s power brokers…
“A lot of our allies are very nervous about whether they can count on us,” said Trent Lott, a former Republican senator, now a lobbyist in Washington. “And a lot of our enemies now feel like they have a way in.”
He added: “The tweets unnerve me. I see how you can use that to go around and over the traditional media and how many people get his tweets. But it unnerves me because I’m kind of old school. I don’t put anything in writing that I don’t know who is going to see it.”

Didn’t Trent Lott help create this situation? He should of figured out a lot earlier that you should never side with the Devil.

“Unnerved” is a very mild way to state what most of the country is feeling.

We are seeing the governing style of one who has never governed.
When the Republicans were going strip ethics oversight, The Great Pumpkin immediately tweetoed the move. Do they have the votes to override the tweeto?

why continue publishing his tweets -let it tweet – if the media left it alone he might appear to be mute.

If Trump has something to say, as president he needs to hold a press conference , say it, then answer questions. Using twitter makes him a twit and a coward and none of it should be taken seriously. Only the media can make a difference here by calling him what he is, a coward and a liar.
A moron with some type of mental illness, sitting in his penthouse at the top of a golden tower making comments and refusing to answer or clarify them makes him a tyrant. He’s not my President and never will be.
