11. We're lending too much validity and authority to Twitter.

Trump should be banned from Twitter and he needs to put his big boy pants on and communicate like public servants always have - through written memos, press releases and press conferences.

The press around the globe is giving him a free political platform, some of which is executed at his bedside or while he's on the shitter. If he was discussing golf or McDonald's menu, that's no problem - but he's saying things that damage international trade and political relationships, not to mention the destruction of many people's well-being and safety in America.

This practice must stop......
