Almost everyone uses Twitter, but few politicians do. But the president desperately needs Twitter for his professional and personal life. Without Twitter, he looks like a Twit. In the meantime, here&#8217;s what we know about Trump&#8217;s life without Twitter. A Twitter account allows you to stay up to date on all of his events, tweets, and more.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Trumps_tweets_are_a_window_into_his_mind\"><\/span>Trump&#8217;s tweets are a window into his mind<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Some of the more disturbing aspects of Trump&#8217;s tweets are those that he doesn&#8217;t mention. In a recent piece, Carole McGranahan noted that the president-elect is the most outspoken president in history &#8211; and that he uses tragedies as political bait. In her piece, she noted that politicians lie, but she wondered if anthropology could explain Trump&#8217;s falsehoods. Despite her criticism, McGranahan called for a more contextualized look at the president-elect&#8217;s&#8217;speak&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>While the media has often focused on Trump&#8217;s tweets, many are unaware that they are not official presidential statements or policy. While this is true, the media has nonetheless become obsessed with Trump&#8217;s tweets, and his surrogates have tried to argue that both ideas are necessary to understand his social media presence. Here, they outline some of the more important aspects to consider when studying Trump&#8217;s tweets.<\/p>\n<p>Tweets about action are another aspect that makes Trump&#8217;s tweets so intriguing. He clogs his Twitter feed with tweets about action. For example, he tweeted 20 messages about the tragic attack in New York City, only repeating the phrase &#8220;a nation in mourning.&#8221; Other tweets highlight military and police-related calamities. This is not surprising, given that Trump&#8217;s Twitter presence is ubiquitous.<\/p>\n<p>While Twitter users are encouraged to use 140-characters, mainstream critics have spent hours tracking Trump&#8217;s statements. They have sought to find contradictions in his tweets, allegedly proving that he&#8217;s unreliable. As a result, many people have found the president&#8217;s tweets to be a window into his mind. There are, however, those who argue that he&#8217;s announcing new policy, and are therefore a window into his mind.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"His_tweets_are_a_window_into_his_head\"><\/span>His tweets are a window into his head<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The media loves to focus on Donald Trump&#8217;s tweets, and with good reason: the president&#8217;s twitter feed is an excellent window into his mind. Although these tweets do not constitute presidential statements or official policies, they are an entertaining window into his mind. In fact, many journalists have spent hours tracking Trump&#8217;s tweets and trying to find a contradiction that would indicate his unreliability. However, Twitter users discourage this practice. The tweets themselves respond to immediate co-tweets, and the media has a hard time keeping track of these statements.<\/p>\n<p>Twitter has started applying labels to Trump&#8217;s tweets, such as fact-checks about the upcoming election. Similarly, the social network has applied a public interest notice to a tweet that praised violence. This is an effort to draw a limit-line around Trump in real time. Twitter&#8217;s action prevented others from feeling inspired to commit violent acts, while keeping the tweet on the site.<\/p>\n<p>Among the tragedies that Trump has ignored on Twitter is the attack on the Portland, Oregon, train, where a man stabbed two people and shouted anti-Muslim slurs. In addition to that, he also failed to condemn the deadly attack on a church in Texas. In fact, the widow of one of the fallen soldiers said that Trump&#8217;s comments sounded like an attempt to reassure her that &#8220;I knew what I was getting myself into&#8221; when he signed up for the military.<\/p>\n<p>Although Twitter is a direct connection between a president and a nation, Trump isn&#8217;t particularly good at using it to express emotion. While tweets from a politician are usually brief, they provide a window into their head. And they&#8217;re also a window into the president&#8217;s mindset. He makes a point to be provocative. Trump&#8217;s tweets about tragedies on Twitter are a window into his mind, and his response to the New York City attack was intended to rile the public, not to condole the victims.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xIqYT3jB26c\" width=\"388\" height=\"217\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is Trump Doing Without Twitter?
