"The *45th president was the host of a successful reality TV show" Tue Jun-06-17 09:41 AM by MEAT
Not that this is news to anyone . But any leaks or news should be looked at under that lens.
If he's tweeting it's because he's looking for ratings. Twitter gives you that via engagement. He's "angry" with Flynn this week, nah. Manufactured conflict narrative. He's shaking up the staff and Bannon and Kushner are feuding, nah just more manufactured conflict for news stories. His daughter really fought hard for x, y, z ... Nah. Image and brand massaging. "See what I do this week at the rose garden at 3pm" ... is that not a promo?
Nothing he's doing or they're doing is all that different from what the Kardashians do. But the stakes are way higher.
But the amount of stories dedicated to internal turmoil miss so much of the point that it's exhausting to see people being gamed by this dude.

I wonder how secure his device is and if there's any danger of his account getting hacked. I remember reading Obama had a super Blackberry when he first became president; is the same true for Trump?

Doesn't matter that things he'll tweet can be admissible in court. That's for the lawyers to figure out. Him. He just wants that sweet attention. Thank goodness he's ugly, or else we'd get an endless steam of selfies.

At an East Room event that was choreographed like the elaborate ceremonies for enacting major legislation, Mr. Trump signed a memo and letter to Congress outlining his principles for overhauling the nation’s air traffic control system. He handed out pens to lawmakers who had been invited to attend, and reveled in several rounds of applause.
But Mr. Trump’s announcement did not have any binding effect, and Democrats quickly denounced the proposal.

Only because he's so patently transparent, and anything he's ever sold has been complete crap. I think of Mark Cuban as a salesman. This dude is Dollar Store As Seen on TV

with his stagecoach of bullshit products, moving on before people figure out what he sold them is all lies. Only he isn't (voluntarily) moving on and a bunch of his customers believe the product is real. He is the most successful one of these guys of all time.
