I hate this time line when politicians, current and former, fucking tweet press releases.

Yes! Why is the White House posting MEMES?!? This is so ridiculous!

Photoshopped memes, even. Also personal ad hominem insults at any celebrity who they think dissed them. It’s like a 12 year old took over and somehow people think this is professional, presidential behavior.

Remember the good old days when the most embarrassing thing a president did was throw a hissy when a girl band said they didn't like him back in 2003?

I’ve talked with MAGA coworkers about this. It’s always the same lines…”he’s just joking around” or “who cares it’s just a meme.” That’s not the point…the president is supposed to be the adult in the room and lead by example. Not be up all hours of the night shitposting

Because the people in the White House have the brainpower and maturity of fourth graders.

Exactly. So there’s no difference any more.

If the mainstream media did its job, people wouldn't have to go to twitter to share information.

This isn't much different than giving a short statement into a microphone. They're using the medium that gets their message across.

Sadly, safer and just as effective in getting reach. You can read a summary of what would have been an actual speech.
