What person in their right mind blurts out their thoughts on Twitter?

Trump's tweets are revelatory. They continuously show the public his thoughts and emotions.

What more evidence does one need? An innocent person does not behave in this manner.

Trump is a criminal and the walls of Justice are closing in on him as he panics.

He is an idiot.


ETA: Imagine if the CEO of General Motors or Microsoft or AT&T behaved in this manner! They'd be sacked by COB.

He paid for a full-page ad in a New York newspaper calling for the death penalty for five black youths who were wrongfully charged with a brutal gang rape on a woman jogger. He never apologized when DNA evidence and the confession by another person conclusively proved the youths were innocent.

That was decades ago.

Trump has never had a filter.

Never read his press, never watched his show, and really didn't know much about his 'history, until recently. It's a lot to absorb.

while drunk. It is embarrassing, and to be avoided.

Trump is tweeting while a madman. And a criminal. No one is stopping him.

What will history say about us that we allowed this to continue?

Remember when you'd get a late night phone call from a friend who would ramble on and on?

Oh, wait. Was that me?

from people I did not know. This was before social media was a big deal. They were drunk and lonely. I listened. What did it cost me? I am a night owl anyway.

The kind who thinks that he can say literally anything because he has never faced consequences for any action he's taken.

In his mind, every twitter rant is genius and makes him look like some kind of hero/god to his fans.

trump will claim he didn't do any tweets, and it wasn't known by him what they would say for him.

14. Trump has NEVER been a CEO.

Dec 2018

He's always ever been the sole proprietor of a shady family business.

He's never been held accountable to boards, shareholders, state and federal regulatory bodies, other members of the C-suite, customers, etc.

If Trump had been the CEO of GM, Microsoft, etc., and he behaved even one time like Trump behaves on a daily basis, the Board of Directors would call an emergency meeting and fire his ass within 24 hours. He would be barred/escorted from the premises by Security, and he wouldn't even get a chance to pack his desk. Public Relations would send out an immediate press release saying that they've parted ways with Mr. Trump, and that the company always stands for the values of blahdy-blah. This is how it works in the real world. The real world is not NBC's The Apprentice.

Why is Trump POTUS? If he isn't good enough to run the Disney Company, say, how in hell is he president?!

Great businessman, my ass.

He has no absolutely discernible business or practical talents or skills whatsoever. My wife sees 2nd-grade Girl Scouts every day who have far more on the ball from a professional standpoint than Donald Trump.
