That might not be enough.

I feel like Twitter is definitely the source of the majority of his criticism but banning him most likely won't happen. Wasn't there a post on here recently about how the left [i]doesn't[/i] want to eliminate free speech? This seems counter to that.

No. Regardless of political alignment, you should be aware of your country's leadership, and considering the US is one of the most powerful and prominent countries in the world, the more ways that our leader can communicate, the better. Just treat it like research for a topic. 90% will not matter, 5% will be useless, but that last 5% can be really helpful to know.

No, I don't think banning him would do anything at this point. What I do think should happen is that his staff gets together some tech genius or app developers and get them to create some sort of fake twitter interface on all his systems. So when he goes to tweet something stupid, he believes he's actually tweeting the world when in actuality he's tweeting a bunch of bots programmed to respond with "Greatest idea ever" or "OMG you're so smart". That would be a win win, we don't have to see the idiotic tweets and he gets to stroke his ego.

Couple of quick pieces of info: 1) Some dude who works for Trump came to our school to speak today. He mentioned that what you see on Twitter is what has been already [u]screened[/u], and that there are many tweets that don’t see the light of day. I find that ‘funny’ in a little factoid kind of way 2) While this could be concerning, it’s also important the President directly communicates to the people and holds the news (fake or true) accountable while doing so. Now, all that being said, there are most certainly areas of vast improvement. However, I hope future Presidents follow his method of sharing his thoughts on different matters without necessarily calling a press conference.

No. But someone on his team should take his privileges away so he can focus more on making America look more presentable at the world stage. Whatever Donald Trump puts on Twitter represents all Americans, whether or not someone voted for him or not. And as of right now, a lot of America's allies are looking down on us, such as the UK, Germany, Japan, and the Philippines all because of the actions and words of Trump. If Trump has time to attack others on Twitter, he has time to actually solve problems in America that he was elected to the highest office in the US to do.

Major news outlets would have nothing to talk about if they did

[quote]I'm sure somewhere along the line he's broken the CoC. [quote][url=https://www.gq.com/story/trump-tweets-global-consequences]Powerful people responsible for terrible things can hide behind the president's tweets. Earlier this month, CNN published a gripping report on the Libyan slave trade after its reporters in Tripoli recorded migrants and refugees being sold at auction for the equivalent of a few hundred dollars. Libyan authorities promptly launched an investigation into the country's underground slave market, although the political instability accompanying that country's ongoing civil war will probably make that effort a logistical impossibility. While the story has sparked outrage across the world, some media outlets in Libya have raised doubts about the authenticity of CNN's reporting, citing to the network's well-known reputation for spreading "fake news." The primary basis for these familiar-sounding claims? Tweets authored by President Donald Trump. On Saturday afternoon, the president launched one of his standard-issue social media attacks against CNN International, calling the network "a major source of (Fake) news" and asserting, without further explanation, that "[t]he outside world does not see the truth from them!" Shortly thereafter, as first noted by Al Aan TV's Jenan Moussa, a Libyan free-to-air satellite channel published an article on the comments, insinuating that they cast doubt on the veracity of the entire story. Google Translate results are always a bit rough around the edges, but the upshot here is difficult to miss. It is reported in international political circles that many of the reports broadcast by the American channel often come as "collusion" to serve political objectives in certain parts of the world, and here the possibility arises that the channel has published the report of slavery in Libya to raise a political objective that is still hidden, That the president of the world's largest country in terms of political and intelligence influence can not be charged of this kind to a channel operating within the United States without "intelligence bases" on how the channel works, and its hidden goals. Because CNN's journalism is "often" part of an agenda, the article reasons, it is therefore possible that CNN published this particular report in order to promote some "political objective that is still hidden." Trump probably wouldn't make such claims flippantly, since he commands the world's most robust intelligence-gathering operation. Plus, the tweet in question followed closely on the heels of CNN's Libya investigation, which perhaps suggests a direct link between the two events. While it's not clear whether the author actually believes that Trump has correctly identified some murky conspiracy, he or she concludes that the president's actions, at the very least, have opened a "big hole" in the story, and that it should be regarded with a healthy degree of skepticism until proven otherwise. Most of the coverage of Donald Trump's perpetual war with the media focuses on how that process is dangerous to American democracy: It erodes public trust in the independent press that is designed to function as a check on those in power, regardless of party affiliation. But while fighting back against negative stories by dismissing the outlet as "fake" might be an effective political strategy, he fails to realize that his words have consequences that reach far beyond his Twitter beef du jour. He thought he was attacking a media outlet he doesn't like. Now, those same words are providing a defense for people who have been exposed for promoting slave labor. Donald Trump probably didn't anticipate this result, and he certainly didn't intend it. But it's happening anyway. For political leaders in Libya—people who might have a vested interest in keeping international organizations and criminal investigators out of the country's business, and who might be willing to look the other way if it means that they get to keep their positions of authority—the president's tweets are a godsend. Libyans have every right to be angry about the existence of an underground slave trade in their country, and to hold their leaders accountable for allowing such a thing to exist. When President of the United States offers good reason to doubt the story, though, it suddenly becomes far less likely that the news generates the type of public outcry that eventually brings the perpetrators and enablers of this practice to justice. Not because Libyans don't care about slavery, of course—but because the most powerful man in the world logged onto Twitter and accidentally assured them that the slavery might not even exist.[/url][/quote] [spoiler]polls are still broken[/spoiler][/quote] CNN isn't "fake news" because the Donald said so. It's "fake news" for having a propensity to peddle bullshit.

I'd rather see him banned from office.

Do it and Twitter loses everything.

Nah because them blue check mark people won’t know where to go

My missus has just come back from a holiday in Holland where they make yachts. The village of Makkum . Apparently all the people in the village hate Trump. He told them to build him a huge yacht,which they did and he decided not to pay for it.

Yes The liberal journalists who swarm the comments of his tweets would all lose their jobs. If you remember how he blocked multiple literally who journalists, you remember how salty they were. Then a story later came out that some of them had lost their job because they couldn't see and report on the president's tweets. I'd be absolutely fine with Trump sacrificing his Twitter if it meant taking all of those pests with him. http://fortune.com/2017/07/14/trump-blocked-me-on-twitter-and-its-costing-me-my-career/ http://www.theblaze.com/news/2017/07/15/journalist-becomes-laughing-stock-after-boasting-about-suing-trump-for-blocking-her-on-twitter

I've come to realize that anyone who does not parrot whatever view espoused by Trump is pushing "fake news" or has an "agenda". If you think CNN has an agenda, then you must also acknowledge that FoxNews has one too. Personally, I refer to various news agencies, then do my own research if something interests me.
