What if all his tweets are just to distract liberals with unimportant stuff so he can do all the things he wants to while everyone is arguing about how dumb he is.

Oh my.
Do you think it's starting to sink in a little bit that Clinton will be forgotten in a few weeks and he's going to be absorbing 100% of the criticism and derision of most of the entire nation with no opponent to deflect it off onto?

I need a sketch where another Trump is doing a sketch while Baldwin Trump is watching and losing it while his staffers can't keep a straight face and laugh at him being a child.

If this guy is up in arms over this he wont last. Imagine if Obama went batshit any time anyone criticized him lmao.

Shit, you know he wanted to. The man spent eight years trying fighting the Nigga Moment instincts.
He can always deflect it onto the GOP establishment.
He'll deflect it onto immigrants, "SJWs" and the lieberals. His base will eat that shit up.

Remember kids, no comedy team ever makes fun of the President. It'd just be biased and unfair. That's why no one ever made fun of Clinton, Bush or Obama.
Trying to stop the world from criticizing you and making fun of you when you're Fucking President of the Goddamn United States is about as futile as it gets.
do I even need the /s

Can you imagine Red Skull whining on Twitter? That's some M.O.D.O.K. level shit.

Alec Baldwin is laying the truth on trump.
Nah MODOK can get shit done. Whining on Twitter is some Master of The World type shit. or Zeke Stane. But Zeke would have been a total bernie bro.

Next 4 years will definitely be a site to behold.
I have no doubt that he has always been a petty, insecure, egomaniac. But he found a strategy during this election that perfectly worked in favor of his behavior.
He isn't going to stop because it worked so well during his campaign.

He's going to need to put a face on it.
That's the whole point of the President: putting a face on the federal government. Having one, singular person the mob can point to and shout, "He failed me! He did the wrong thing! He's the one at fault!" That's the job Trump unwittingly signed up for.
He can try to deflect onto groups, but it's a soft deflection. The only way a President has honestly ever managed to deflect successfully is with a full-on boogeyman (communism/Russia, Osama Bin Laden, etc.). He's going to have to manufacture himself an "enemy", and it's going to have to be one big enough that the question of, "Well, why don't you just do something about him/her?" isn't too easy to answer. (In other words, it can't just be the leader of a protest movement or Anita Sarkeesian or whoever disagrees with him but is on a scale far too small to be taken seriously in this regard.)
I mean, even Obama dealt with this. "Thanks, Obama!" isn't just a meme, it's a pretty accurate reflection of the way people treat the President of the US as an anthropomorphic avatar of all their problems.

Obama and his family got called monkeys left & right and he had to deal with that birther shit for years. Not one peep about thespian safe spaces or "equal time".
I refuse to believe that acting emotionally unbalanced and petty is some kind of brilliant and effective strategy for distracting the electorate. Trump's call for deportation and immigration suspension are the exact things that propelled the successful Brexit referendum. Farage and Boris, while unpopular with the left, didn't have Trump's temperament or scandals. What they did have, was the exact same main message -something that's not confusing or distracting at all for anyone.
I think this is already a thing in college theses.

No, he hasn't found any strategy. It's just how he is. Now, you can argue that the current political climate is ripe for exactly these sort of reactions, but for Trump it wouldn't matter if it hurt him or not. He would continue to spout off regardless. I would say he has finally benefitted from a confluence of assholes that lap this shit up quicker than Pavlov's dogs and vote equally as well.

In fact he called out coddling and safe spaces multiple times.
But he's black and a Democrat so he's a pussy obviously.

Trump needs a Kif Kroker to his Zapp Brannigan, I totally read the thread title in that voice.
I don't think he's even thought about that. I get the feeling he is still in campaign mode where it's him and Hillary.
He really didn't want this job at all and it shows.

Trump seems more like loli-Vita bro to me. He's probably already here.

Yet to see a funny Hillary/Donald skit from any source
Just because you are president doesn't mean people can't satire you anymore. Prepare for a whole hell of a lot more scrutiny over the next four years buddy.
As for him having the time to lash out on twitter, a bit of good news/bad news. Trump won't be running the country at all. He'll be a puppet to help distract everyone from what Pence and the cabinet are doing behind the scenes. We cannot lose site of that. That big orange oaf is nothing but a diversion.

I wonder if Trump thought winning the election and becoming President would erase all those years of being shunned by those childhood Manhatten socialites he grew up around.
Only, he will likely become further mocked by their kids via instagram, rather than in the middle of a debutante ball or gathering.
I wonder if they would use a tag like #KingofQueens?
Also, what are the odds if Trump realizes Putin and China are likely following his Twitter account due to the likelihood of him revealing a covert op as a way of boasting how "great" he is.
A trojan friend request of sorts.
