He needs to be isolated from the internet, you should say.
I can only wish the US presidency has as many strict protocols as members of the British Royal Family have to follow. That would spare us a lot of this crap coming from Drumpf. |

One of the many reasons why President Trump is loved by his fans is exactly because he uses Twitter. Why use the leftist mainstream media when he can speak directly to the fans?
Isn't it better this way? To hear the President's opinions directly from the man himself? The President was elected by the people to work for the people. So IMO it's only fair that the people should know what the President thinks about various matters concerning his country. Not to mention that Mr. Trump, President or not, has the right to free speech, just like every other American citizen. Sadly, the idea of free speech is not well-liked by the leftists/globalists. By implying that Trump's speech should be restricted, Trump haters are showing their true colors...

It's not really that different from not being allowed to shout FIRE in a crowded area, say you have an explosive on a plane, or any number of other things. |

You'll find crazy people in any society, sadly. However, Trump bears no responsability for those events. It's not his fault that some people are crazy, and IMO that's definitely not an argument against him tweeting.
'Some guy somewhere killed dozens... He liked playing video games a lot. Therefore, we should ban video games.' <- It's the same kind of faulty argument.

Funny you say free speech when Trump is the one that is threatening to change the libel laws. It's not impossible but I'm sure it's difficult to change the first amendment. Which probably Trump doesn't know, he basically know nothing anyway.

Nowadays, as far as I know, it is the left that is all about limiting free speech, and this is done via hate speech laws and radical political corectness. You can see this in certain European countries where people are being arrested simply for voicing their concerns about immigration and open borders...
One of the reasons why I really like Trump is the fact that he opposes this ideology. And because of this, I believe the First Amendment is safe with him as President.

I want Trump to stop tweeting because policy-making cannot be fit into 140 characters, and anything the President says has important implications both domestically and internationally. Retweeting some garbage he saw on Fox and Friends is no way to run a government. Obama understood that he had to be measured and careful whenever he spoke in public because the office of President demanded it. Trump cannot stop himself from running off at the mouth about every little perceived slight. It's an extremely dangerous behavior by someone without self-control.

The irony being that that college is credited for starting the "free speech movement", is being accused of denying free speech.
