i follow him on twitter but like the pin. I find it remarkable that the POTUS refuses to be handled, manipulated, and filtered. It causes him plenty of critism around here but imho people around the globe get a chance to see things like they have never seen before.... genuine comment! It is remarkable.... especially when you have been behind the scenes in seeing big time corporate or public communicatios... the drafts, the redrafts, the holds, the message testing focus groups, the polling etc....  I know much more than half who read this think it is remarkably stupid and I can fully appreciate that kind of thinking and tend to share it about him quite often. I have said it before but imho historians may look back at this era as something like the fireside chats of FDR. It is sooo out of the box that it is amazing. It may lead to his implosion, impeachment or embarrassment but it also may lead to folks thinking he is crazy like a fox and make him and his tweets and direct communications more popular than ever. . Nothing he says or does will move his core haters, and that is imho about 40 percent of the population which is alot ( I'm not talking about approval polls)  but i believe the rest of the population will be more open to him... not saying they will like him but will appreciate his genuine comments in spite of content of wording. We live in interesting times

I would know exactly what he was holding because he would tweet it.

To mix metaphors, he tips his pitches.

Unless, of course, he really is playing 4-D underwater chess. The evidence, however, points very strongly in the opposite direction (he's a dumbass).
