Spicer: President Trump won’t be beholden to traditional media practices

I am absolutely baffled by how dangerously out of touch with reality these people are. I could completely fuck the most powerful nation on earth anytime I felt like it and I am one person, imagine what countries are gonna be able to do? Look at what a tweet is, in about five minutes I can have a tweet that looks like it's from Trump saying anything I want. I get that it's not from his official twitter feed which is a whole different hairball, but the global consequences of a U.S. president communicating to the world in the same manner as a teenage girl is is is just wow. I can use fake tweets to sway local public opinion anywhere in the world I want. I can use these fake tweets in a number of different ways, paired with a variety of strategies. What I have essentially is both a short term and potential long term weapon I can deploy, like a Swiss Army knife, to sway a percentage of any populace to think as I want them to. There is a reason for presidential press conferences, that's the guy, that's what he says, ok that is what the most powerful nation on earth is thinking. Do these idiots understand how important this job is?
