The "Tweet Idiot" is at it AGAIN!

Third tweet demanding an apology from the cast of Hamilton. 6 something in the morning and he can't let it rest. He also trashed the production and said it's over-rated.
This asshole is plain NUTS. I'm actually frightened of what he can do. There's no one to restrain him!

Which his disorder craves... We should ignore his ramblings. It would be the most effective way of aggravating and disrupting him. But, we won't, because The Media.

They give a head's up of where the imbecile's mind is at, or not. It's important to see what his priorities are and what he's focused on at the moment. It will give everyone a head start to take cover...literally.
We are so screwed.

The media spends it's time talking about a play and not the real news, his out of court settlement.

He gets another free ride.

A free ride... Nobody calling him on his other odious dealings.

Look over there! Shiny thing! That's why Pence was sent to the play to begin with, I don't see him as a person who has any intellectual curiosity. What else was happening? Oh, a meeting with businessmen that should have never occurred.

He will never give up his total control over the Rump empire. That's why the illegal and the little tax deduction are staying in NYC. It gives him an excuse to keep his thumb in the pie.

he'll self destruct, possibly before inauguration day

How is it we go from one of the most intelligent, honest, capable Presidents to this NUT?

I'm having a hard time accepting that we have house's full of idiots

Two days now and he's still obsessed by a theater curtain call!
You know, someone in the cast could actually be harmed! He can TOTALLY unleash his stormtroopers!

Seriously, dude - you have one of the most important jobs in the world to do coming up and you are woefully unprepared for it. Don't you think you think you should be spending your time boning up on what being a president means instead of effing tweeting all night?

But not necessarily on twitter (especially if you don't use that particular medium.) writing a letter to the editor is fine too!

In any response, we should be expressing American values. For example, use phrases such as:

- as an American and a democrat, I embrace the First Amendment's freedom of speech as a core American value

- honesty is another core American value. We can all see the video of the actor addressing VP-elect Pence and it was not an attack

- freedom of speech and honesty - true American values. President-elect Trump, please embrace these values.


(And look, we know he won't. But as Democrats we must take the narrative away from him. Pound it through America's collective brain that Democrats are for these values. By attacking him, we fall into the same trap as Italians fell into when attacking Silvio Berlusconi.)
