A Trump Campaign Win: They Took Away his Twitter
So reports the NYT:
Aides to Mr. Trump have finally wrested away the Twitter account that he used to colorfully — and often counterproductively — savage his rivals.
Since I think part of his improvement in the polls of late is partly because he has been (for him) quiet, I would put getting him off Twitter a huge strategic win for his campaign.
Indeed, the story notes:
For the next week, his staff deployed a series of creative tricks to protect its boss from his most self-destructive impulses.
Several advisers warned him that he risked becoming like a wild animal chasing its prey so zealously that it raced over a cliff — a reminder that he could pursue his grievances and his eagerness to fling insults, but that the cost would be a plunge into an electoral abyss.
Taking away Twitter turned out to be an essential move by his press team, which deprived him of a previously unfiltered channel for his aggressions.
Sounds just like someone who ought to be in charge of the most powerful military in the world…

I”m imaging the tweet storm that will be unleashed after the election ends, win or lose.
So pathetic.
This is beyond pathetic…to paraphrase President Obama from earlier today…how can you trust someone who has his Twitter taken away from him with the nuclear codes?
@Hal_10000:
It’ll be yuuuuge.
Comic if he looses, terrifying if he wins.
Taking away the toddler’s toy. Reid above nailed it: this man is pathetic.
