Byron York: The Problem with Trump Tweets Is that He Gets Himself in Trouble with It

‘If the president just sticks to commentary, attacks on the media and what he is going to be doing Twitter’s probably still a very effective tool for him’

EXCERPT:

YORK: "Well, the president is staying in the news. The thing about this Twitter stuff is not that the president uses it and not that he makes news with it. It's occasionally he gets himself in trouble with it. And what we -- what we're looking for with the new chief of staff is not whether the president stops tweeting or he just sends out a bunch of boring tweets, it is whether he stops tweeting things like, you know, President Obama was wiretapping me, things like, things that have a lot repercussion. If the president just sticks to commentary, attacks on the media what he is going to be doing Twitter’s probably still a very effective tool for him."
