Democratic Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) tweeted at President Trump on Saturday, and refuted the presidents claim that the media is trying to get him to stop tweeting.
Dear dumb as a rock (Trump): The news media LOVES that you use social media. It jacks up their ratings & helps Special Counsel, Lieu tweeted, responding to the presidents claim the news media is trying to convince Republicans to get him to stop using social media.

I think The Orange PINO(President In Name Only) needs to keep right on with what he's doing.

"In a survey earlier this month, 69 percent of registered voters said Trump tweets too much, up 13 points from a December survey. The share of voters disapproving of the volume of Trumps tweets included 53 percent of Republicans (an increase of 11 points), 70 percent of independents (an increase of 22 points) and 82 percent of Democrats, up 7 points from December."
"Roughly three in five registered voters (59 percent), including 77 percent of Democrats and 61 percent of independents (up 18 points from December) also said Trump was making a poor use of the platform, a 10-point increase from the December responses. A plurality of Republicans (41 percent) still said Trumps tweets were a good thing, although the share of those who said the opposite rose 8 points, from 29 percent in December to 37 percent in June."
