3. You're not alone

But according to the Cokie Rule, since these tweets are "out there," the popular media don't have any choice but to report them as if they were true. At least, that's how it worked whenever a scurrilous rumor during the Obama administration blurped up out of the fever swamps of the Nazi right.

Where is Cokie Roberts on this?

... but didn't #45 "fire" Sally Yates? She's a free agent. Somewhat of course.

I doubt that the staffer is watching him 24/7.

7. I love the political satirists on Twitter. I should create an account myself. Pick a name.

TrumpsButler would be fun, don't you think.

"The Boss was up at 3 AM hunting for his phone, but I hid it too well, so no crazy tweets today."

"The Boss has gained another 10 pounds, so now he says he needs two golf vacations per week."
