It is no secret that our golfer in chief loves to golf, but he might love tweeting even more. Trump is known for his late night and early morning tweet storms. Twitter allows the President to instantly connect with both his supporters and detractors without the normal filtering that takes place when issuing official White House press releases.
Trump’s use of twitter has been criticized often for his lack of self censorship and putting national security at risk. He responded to his critics calling his use of Twitter as not presidential with the following:
My use of social media is not Presidential – it’s MODERN DAY PRESIDENTIAL. Make America Great Again!

We pay for Obama’s travel so he can fundraise millions so Democrats can run on lies. Then we pay for his golf.

Obama should play golf with Republicans & opponents rather than his small group of friends. That way maybe the terrible gridlock would end.

I play golf to relax. My company is in great shape. @BarackObama plays golf to escape work while America goes down the drain.

Yesterday @BarackObama actually spent a full day in Washington. He didn’t campaign, fund raise or play golf. Shocking.

The only problem our economy has is the Fed. They don’t have a feel for the Market, they don’t understand necessary Trade Wars or Strong Dollars or even Democrat Shutdowns over Borders. The Fed is like a powerful golfer who can’t score because he has no touch – he can’t putt!

Comey throws AG Lynch “under the bus!” Why can’t we all find out what happened on the tarmac in the back of the plane with Wild Bill and Lynch? Was she promised a Supreme Court seat, or AG, in order to lay off Hillary. No golf and grandkids talk (give us all a break)!
