If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck and quacks like a duck, chances are it is a duck. Grampa, if you see a fault in my reasoning feel free to point it out.A wise person waits to see what will transpire before freaking out like Rosie O'DonnellGrampa I think you are one of the people I wrote this OP for. I readily admit it comes over pretty high handed but I truly feel, you conservatives still underestimate the danger he poses. Let's look at twitter as a policy platform, as an example. He demonises the press and prefers to communicate via a platform that by design is limited in the information it can provide. A platform that allows him to give his message without the benefit of scrutiny. What is preventing him from blackballing all critical press? A process he used to great effect during the elections and something he's starting to do now. There is a reason the press enjoys the freedoms it has,namely to question and then inform the public about the truth. Something that Trump is undermining as we speak.Trump should tweet less and you should step off your pedestal.I've been taking a break during this transition. I felt it is only fair that president-elect Trump had the opportunity to prove that he isn't the self serving narcissistic sex deviant that the election cycle made out he is. I think the time has come to take stock. As someone who is about to take the most powerful office in the world he has been unable to take his communication to the level required for someone who's every word, has potential far reaching consequences globally. He still uses his twitter account to settle personal scores and even talk nuclear policy without the benefit of counsel, something that is both petty and potentially extremely dangerous. He has shown that he is unwilling to separate the office he is about to get from his business interests, making his presidency highly suspect right off the bat. And as reports both confirmed and unconfirmed proof he is beholding if not outright compromised by a foreign power which has as its leader someone who has annexed and invaded 3 sovereign nations and is by all intents and purposes a dictator. Those on the extreme right don't mind having this, so I won't waste my breath, but those off you who still feel they want to preserve democratic principles I implore you to wake up.
