What I just cannot understand is why a President of a major nation, a Head of State, is tweeting his random thoughts in the middle of the night for all to read.

Perhaps they aren't just "random thoughts". They could simply be his way of talking to the common people without relying on the MSM to filter what he says with their own spin on it.

Which is a hallmark of IBS.

IBS. Ok, I know what it stands for, I think that can kinda be taken 2 ways with Trump. As in "I..... (won't write the last 2 letters bc on their own they are considered naughty). :D

Could be correct on both ends, Comrade.

Congratulations Stephen Miller- on representing me this morning on the various Sunday morning shows. Great job!

Why don't these make the news?
Perhaps it's only the ones they can use against him that are worth reporting?

Boring.

I take it that you find it far more interesting about Michelle Obama wore to a certain event. Some people actually care about stuff like that.

And some people have even less to do with their time... after all, they might consider the tweets in the OP newsworthy.

These days, a member of the administration not embarrassing themselves when speaking to the public is pretty newsworthy.

Pretty much the political equivalent of a "participant" trophy.

Other things you'll never see on the news:

Woman walks down street at night -- doesn't get raped.

Soldiers patrol war zone without getting ambushed.

Airplane lands at JFK Airport on time with no mechanical problems.

It's a conspiracy, I tell you -- it's almost as if they only report interesting stuff...

If those would have been written by a president the news media liked, then they would have been newsworthy in the way that they show that the president is making an attempt to meet with other world leaders and keep up good relations with them. If Trump does it, then I guess it's not newsworthy for some reason. Only the negative stuff is, even if they have to twist a positive to make it look negative.

Wow...so a president doing the most basic duties of his office is newsworthy to you? Is that the place we're at with Trump? Merely meeting leaders and keeping good relations (or at least tweeting about it) merits media acknowledgment?

Or a president who likes the news media.

Nice world you're commenting on -- any relation to the real one?

Yes, yes... Poor Donald's a victim. Sad!

It was for the past 8 years.

There were news stories about that stuff, though, or at least the things related to those tweets. Everyone of the tweets appeared in some fashion on the news, so I'm not sure what your beef is.

I wasn't aware that journalistic integrity is redefined by whether the president likes you or not.

When the only benchmark is the president's favor, strange things happen.
