President Donald Trump frequently comes under criticism for tweeting, even from his own advisers. But tweeting is probably the smartest thing he has done as president. He is able to speak directly to the American people without going through the biased mainstream media filter. The media doesn't get to ask him slanted questions or pick and choose parts of his press releases to publish. Instead, Trump gets immense control over every single sentence he issues, which are then read by millions of Americans.

With almost everyone online these days, it is easy for the average American to follow Trump?s tweets on Twitter. Twitter is free, unlike some mainstream media sites. Many of The Washington Post's articles ? the site is a frequent critic of Trump ? are behind a paywall. A Twitter account isn't even required in order to view Trump?s tweets. And even if left-leaning Twitter artificially buries positive news about Trump, it doesn't matter, people go directly to his tweets.

Google, Twitter and Facebook control much of the news we see today, but Trump?s tweets get around their dominance. Similar to the Drudge Report website, Trump?s tweets are so well-known that people view his tweets independently of the tech giants. The Drudge Report receives comparable traffic to Google News and The New York Times ? despite the fact Google News prominently promotes the Times in search results and on its homepage. Drudge isn't even carried in Google News, since the site merely aggregates links to articles. Google is the most trafficked site in the U.S. as well as in the world.


Most of the time, Google News is full of articles by the left-leaning media critical of Trump and conservatism. But Trump?s tweets changed all that. Reporters race to report on his tweets, filling up Google News with articles that are far more favorable to Trump, since there is so little room left for spin with his tweets. A quick perusal of Google News right now reveals this headline near the top, ?Trump accuses Clinton of colluding with Democrats to defeat ?Crazy Bernie Sanders.?? The Washington Post article acknowledges, ?Trump took to Twitter Sunday morning?? There really is very little way to write the headline to make Trump look bad. There wasn?t any extra information to glean something from outside of one short tweet.

One sign of Trump?s success at tweeting may be diminishing references to the Trump campaign?s alleged collusion with Russia to influence the U.S. presidential election. Trump rails on Twitter frequently about the ?fake news? media making up his ties to Russia. Although no evidence of collusion has emerged during the months the left-leaning media has made it a top story, the media ran with it for quite a long time. But Trump kept hammering the media over it, never letting up, sometimes with multiple tweets in a row. Finally, after fired FBI Director James Comey told Congress earlier this month that there was no collusion, the media showed signs of backing off. On June 22, CNN retracted a story. Rank-and-file Democrats in Congress are now urging leadership to stop talking about it.


Trump?s tweets repeatedly labeling the mainstream media as fake news, combined with banning their journalists from news events or ignoring them at press conferences when they ask questions, is gradually chipping away at their dominance. Trump attacks CNN probably more than any other news site. Its website traffic has gradually decreased over the past year. In contrast, Breitbart, which is considered by some to be the number one pro-Trump news site, saw a steep increase in traffic right before Trump became president, which has remained at that level. Unlike CNN, Breitbart does not receive top favorable placement by Google News.

Trump?s advisers continue to pressure him to stop tweeting. They are concerned that without a filter, he may tweet something reckless that could harm him. But so far he's tweeted several things that critics contend were terrible ? yet they bounced right off of him. When Trump tweets things that seem inaccurate, he generally clarifies or corrects them later. Critics are exaggerating the negative aspects of his tweets. But the public has the ability to read his tweets unfiltered and can see through the spin. Additionally, it helps that Trump is funny. He?s spent years in entertainment and knows how to drop clever one-liners. He keeps people engaged and coming back. His tweets often receive over 100,000 likes. Consequently, Trump is still fairly well-liked ? despite misleading approval polls ? which contributed to his ability to accomplish more during his first 100 days in office than any previous president since World War II.


Trump tweeted in 2013, ?Sorry losers and haters, but my I.Q. is one of the highest -and you all know it! Please don't feel so stupid or insecure, it's not your fault.? It may have been arrogant, but his success with Twitter has proven his tweeting is sheer genius. He will go down in history as the president who figured out how to get around much of the biased media and talk 24/7 directly to the American people.

In the 1930's F.D.R. became very popular with the citizens due to his radio "fireside chats". Trump has just found a new media to make direct contact with the public and so far it is working much to the chagrin of the left wing liberal press.

I'm sitting here laughing at our clown idiot. Have you noticed most of his links to ping ding Trump are from CNN. The #1 news agency that has been caught outright lying on their false news articles on several occasions since Trump took office.
Just recently 3 of their reporters lost their jobs over their false hack jobs and our idiot Dude keeps believing them and use them as his reference.
I knew Dude was ignorant, but even a mushroom has more common sense then him.

Dude you keep using those polling reports, I even want you to use them when Trump's approval climbs after a few more promises are kept.
Wishful thinking on my part. When the charts of approval climbs is when you will accuse the polls of being Faux news.

Dude Faux news played a video tonight where they got a CNN producer on video tape admitting that the Russian connection is BULL SH!T. He also admitted that CNN will keep playing up the Russian connection because it is helping their ratings.
So you keep plugging CNN because they need the ratings from dumb idiots like you that believes their false propaganda.

If this keeps up, we will need to send you a bigger dunce cap to fit your pea brain head.

You really think CNN reporters know everything about everything? you have more confidence in them than I do. who cares what a CNN reporters opinion is one way or the other they're not much better than FUAX . that's what Mueller's job is in case you didn't know.


I doubt Trump himself colluded, he's too dumb to pull it off. but his team may have. obstruction of justice is Trump's biggest fear. well besides his failing presidency I should add.
