If anything, you gotta ask yourself how anyone with this job can be paying full attention to his duties when he wastes so much time tweeting?

Another fantastic resource demonstrating the maturity and depth of the man's thoughts as revealed through his tweets is at the Trump Twitter Archive:

And Fox and Friends is his top mention.

Yup, its the president's window on the world. He don't read much.

Because you can't possibly imagine a world where someone else on his staff might be tweeting for him?

Ask yourself how you could possibly think that the President writes his own press releases, speeches, and puts his signature on all that stuff everyday - but can have time to pay attention to his Presidential Duties....your logic, reasoning, and insight into the Executive Branch is astounding. You should write a book if you find the time, like how Hillary Clinton and Obama find the time...how did Obama ever write a book in office and still pay attention to those duties?...amazing ain't it?

The 'principle of maximum charity' applied by historians in trying to make sense of documents from other cultures and other times and places dictates that one should start reading that post on the initial assumption that it contains some kind of rebuttal to the points made about Trump (for otherwise why would subgenius have spent time posting it?).

But ... well, you see what I mean?

Why would I ask that? Since when would anyone with an IQ better than a caterpillar's believe that, say, the President writes his own press releases? Do you believe this? Goodness knows he'd never have the time given that is thumb is so thoroughly glued to his phone tapping out juvenile tweet after tweet to ever have the time for such a thing even if it was a Presidential duty, right? :wink:

I'll consider that. Maybe a children's book, so as not to stress the current Prez's intellect.

Which book would that be?

Subgenius is arguing, without actually arguing, that Trump is not authoring most of his tweets. That way when someone points out that this isn't true, he can say "CFR" and act like his point is established if someone doesn't want to spend an hour or so presenting evidence to convince a troll on an obscure message board acting in relentless bad faith.

Good times.

Anyway, CFR Subs.

So Trump routinely tweets either reactions to or repetitions of things seen on Fox and Friends within minutes of it airing. I've seen dozens of examples of it. Every now and then, I wonder if someone is going to the trouble of cataloguing that behavior for posterity. I hope so, but I haven't ever seen a comprehensive list.

Yeah, that's more of a critical thinking skill...better to learn to walk before you try to run, amiright?

True, especially given how Trump has always tweeted so much...maybe being President has just given him more time to tweet.

Oops, sorry. I omitted a few word after "astounding"....astounding by how deficient it is.

You mean "BookS".
Let's see, "Audacity of Hope" while he was a Senator...how did he have the time and still manage to attend to his Senate duties?
And then "Of Thee I Sing" while he was President ....how did he have the time and still manage to attend to his President duties?
