Trump should tweet the State of the Union

Nothing says the SOTU must be spoken before congress. Until 1913, all that was required was a written report from the president to congress. Woodrow Wilson was the first president to speak in front of congress, although the Constitution did not require it.

So how about if Trump uses a new way to deliver the State of the Union? How about if he just tweets it.

Yeah, he would have loved to stand up there in front of the cameras, preening, smirking, and spewing an hour or so of total bullshit. But it seems that Nancy Pelosi has cut off his balls.

Sooo, Donald. Use your favorite means of communicating your message/bullshit. Tweet it.

Yeah, you won't have the audience and your sycophants standing, cheering and applauding.

But most Americans will be grateful that there will be no need to listen to your fart-fest of words.

I guess that your MAGA people will have to read the SOTU. Acually read written words. Hmmm.

Might have some Republicans asking Google execs how to do tweeters.

They're still trying to figure out how to profit from high tech. Except for the contributions they get from Silicon Valley billionaires.
