solid points. absolutely true re:Comey -we'd still be hearing "Trumpis under investigation". And he does need to communicate outside of the fake news venues.The DNC is corrupt lol. And that's not an opinion.
I have mixed emotions about Trump's Tweets. He has created some of his own misery with it. OTOH, more often than not, he keeps the media from dominating the narrative with his use of Twitter.
The OP is a case in point: the media would bury the fact Obama was tepid about Russian meddling, but Trump kept it front and center with his use of Twitter. And he does that sort of thing quite a bit.
And the Comey bluff about 'the tapes' was brilliant. You have to consider the possibility that Comey wouldn't have testified that Trump wasn't a subject of investigation. In which case, the media would still be running with that lie.
So I totally get why Trump uses Twitter---he practically has to. But I wish he would be more judicious with it and stay away from stupid faux controversies like with the London mayor and the like.
It's to the point I'm not even looking at NYTimes or WaPo anymore. Sad!
