Twits on Twitter 0

My local rag tries to make sense of Donald Trump’s “ill-considered” (to use their term–“unconsidered” would likely be a more accurate phrasing) tweets, a Quixotic endeavor in the best of times. A snippet:

The chaos and unpredictability (of Trump’s tweets–ed.) might be by design, but they have yet to deliver any demonstrable results. Worse, the president is apt to harm the nation’s prestige every time he picks up his smartphone*.

It is an excellent editorial. As you read it, remember the target audience is Virginians and that Virginia gave us “massive resistance“; it is consequently worded rather charitably, but read between the lines.

I look forward to the coming letters to the editor from our local Trumpsters.

Afterthought:

Referring to Trump’s hand-held device as a “smartphone” is a gross misnomer. After all, look at the company it keeps.

*Trump. Design. It is to laugh.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
