He won't be able to use his private social media accounts while in White House, only the official POTUS one.
Is that a rule, as I don't quite remember the founding fathers being all that bothered about Twitter, and differing accounts for the President.

Had they done so I'm sure they would have determined "that we hold this truth to be self evident...that NOT all men should be given access to Twatter"

He could then just use his personal Facebook account then to air his views!

Nah the Second Amendment would have banned the right to Faceboob...for everyone...and it's such a pity that men of the calibre of Adams, Jefferson and Franklin failed to realise that

And that's a responsible, sensible and mature way to govern a country is it?

He is making a mockery of the position of POTUS - he is helping to make the world a dangerous place.

The man is a fool of the highest order.

It's not about what you tweet, it's about what you do. He used the populist language to get elected, but we will see his actions when he moves into the White House.
What you say as a world leader carries weight, it sends signals (even if it's just to signal that you're an idiot), especially if you're the leader of a superpower. Trump doesn't have the sophistication to fully understand this, but to make it even worse, he doesn't appear to care about the consequences of his outbursts.

Someone like Trump can be easily manipulated. His narcissism is a weakness, not a strength. Other world leaders are going to play him like a fiddle.

He could go all retro, and start re-using MySpace!

There is no doubt that he will not be silenced!

He will air his views by any means necessary!

It all reminds me of the old Spitting Image sketches when Regan was in power: The President's Brain Is Missing.

It will be great fun watching it all play out from a very safe distance!

Unfortunately there is no safe distance! But go ahead and enjoy watching the impending human misery that could be unleashed by this man's stupidity, if that is what you would find 'fun'

Better than nothing happening, and everything just carrying on as normal I suppose!

That they didn't block it means that they wanted the potus to be able to act like a 5yr old

the mentality of posters who seem to think this is all some sort of reality TV show being run for their entertainment is quite worrying

Oh FGS - what the Hell is wrong with people?

Did Trump get elected because people were bored with the staus quo?

Be very careful of what you wish for - nothing happening may well be infinitely better than what just might (be unleashed) happen.

There's a theory that given typewriters and enough time a bunch of chimps will eventually produce the Complete Works Of Shakespeare...I guess Trump is the ape that proves the opposite.
It is given an infinite amount of time, an infinite number of chimps could come up with the works of Shakespeare. Thankfully there is not an infinite number of Trumps and he only has 8 years max.

Quelle surprise

The US voted in an arsehole and they've got what they voted for.

Twitter is blocked in China, So I guess he was talking to himself.
China and Russia are all over the internet trying to weaken Western democracy by building up support for divisive things like Brexit and Trump?

Assuming the UK isn't affected I will join you with the popcorn. It's always hilarious to watch the fallout from when idiots vote for populists.

Only thing is it's quite likely to take us out as well.

Reagan was like Einstein compared to this idiot.

I was hoping he'd actually settle down after the election, and that someone would have a word to calm him down.
