Letter: Trump must tweet to get his message out

In this Jan. 28, 2017, file photo, U.S. President Donald Trump speaks on the phone with Prime Minister of Australia Malcolm Turnbull in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington. For decades, Australia and the U.S. have enjoyed the coziest of relationships, collaborating on everything from military and intelligence to diplomacy and trade. Yet an irritable tweet President Donald Trump fired off about Australia and a dramatic report of an angry phone call between the nations' leaders proves that the new commander in chief has changed the playing field for even America's staunchest allies.

Whilst decrying “fake news,” he’s addicted, even intoxicated by the attention his tweets receive, reports Jennifer Rubin. I wonder how else our president is able to get his “truth” out? Hmmmm, sure wouldn’t be by you. We see your comments often, and notice that your opinion is not his. His opinions are rarely reported accurately. Perhaps you think him unprofessional? Most of us understand that tweeting is his only recourse of sending truth out to the nation.
