It's apparent at this point that a large part of our duties here over the next few years will be relentlessly making fun of the shameless hacks rallying around their moron in chief.
Donald Trump will continue to tweet as president, according to incoming White House press secretary Sean Spicer, who predicted that Trump’s engagement with supporters via social media will be “a really exciting part of the job.”
This is weasel-speak for "We weren't able to get Donald to agree to stop making market-roiling, foreign-policy-bricking expressions of spontaneous ignorance from his unsecured personal phone, so now we're going to pretend our failure to rein in Blowhard von Tinythumbs was in fact the plan we were going with all along."

“I think that his use of social media in particular … is gonna be something that’s never been seen before,” Spicer told Rhode Island news station WPRI in an interview published Monday. “He has this direct pipeline in the American people, where he can talk back and forth.”

Where would we—or any future American government—be without those penetrating insights. How would the republic survive without Donald Trump's furious finger-twitches. Would we even want to live in such an unexciting world?
