I find it unseemly and mildly disturbing to read the unending blizzard of tweets from President-elect Donald Trump.

Memo to Trump: cool it, dude.

You grabbed the brass ring: no need to fight for it any more.

Be like this guy : he "don't text;" you shouldn't tweet.

Time to act Presidential.

Don't you have to subscribe to him to see his messages?

I wouldn't know, as I don't use Twitter.

I only read about the stuff he tweets, when reported on the news sites.

Tweeting as president isn't the problem. It's the topic of the tweets that are the problem.

I disagree.

A President should not tweet.

All written communications from the POTUS should be measured and reviewed by a staff person.

Keep in mind that the entire world looks at his comments, statements and tweets, seeking some insight into his thinking.

He ain't just common folk any more, he can't say whatever the hell he wants on the spur of the moment and then move on.

Time to act Presidential, even though he hasn't yet been inaugurated.

The real test: will he continue to tweet after he's sworn in?

If so, god help us all.

Let's agree to disagree then. President Obama has used twitter appropriately and without controversy, so it can be done. This is a Trump issue, not a President tweeting issue.

But I agree we're going to need help after he's sworn in. This is going to be a disaster.

And we can agree to disagree on that. It can't get much worse for the middle class than the last 8 years.

All the liberal yapping about Trump following in Hitler's footsteps, Illegals have rights, safe spaces and more is exactly why he was voted in.

Hopeful newlywed: "He'll change for the better once we're married."

Anyone notice any real change in Bush, Clinton, and Obama in office. 90% same person if not more after the campaign.

Why is Trump going to be any different?
There's no secret. Just know what you're talking about before you open your mouth.

The comedians are lapping it up.

Love Baldwin impersonating The Don on SNL.
