THE TRUMP TWITTER TIMELINE

Trump discovers a groundbreaking new form of therapy: cyberbullying. Confirms that he has yet to obtain professional psychiatric help.
It makes me feel so good to hit "sleazebags" back -- much better than seeing a psychiatrist (which I never have!)

Trump first devises ingenious shorthand for the many haters and losers in his life: "haters and losers"

First instance of a president making military policy on Twitter, replacing traditional method of "contacting the Department of Defense"
After consultation with my Generals and military experts, please be advised that the United States Government will not accept or allow......
....Transgender individuals to serve in any capacity in the U.S. Military. Our military must be focused on decisive and overwhelming.....
....victory and cannot be burdened with the tremendous medical costs and disruption that transgender in the military would entail.
Thank you

Having fixed all of the problems plaguing the federal government, President Trump sets his sights on professional sports

...Such poor leadership ability by the Mayor of San Juan, and others in Puerto Rico, who are not able to get their workers to help. They....

Trump makes clear: Under him, the U.S. will NEVER negotiate with journalists
Time Magazine called to say that I was PROBABLY going to be named "Man (Person) of the Year," like last year, but I would have to agree to an interview and a major photo shoot. I said probably is no good and took a pass. Thanks anyway!

Trump's "most-watched SotU in history" all the more impressive for having been watched by fewer people than SotU's by Obama, Clinton, and Bush
Thank you for all of the nice compliments and reviews on the State of the Union speech. 45.6 million people watched, the highest number in history. @FoxNews beat every other Network, for the first time ever, with 11.7 million people tuning in. Delivered from the heart!

Praising the NRA one day after publicly advocating strict new gun laws highlights POTUS's ability to listen to, strongly agree with, and also do nothing about both sides of an argument

You don't have to agree with trump but the mob can't make me not love him. We are both dragon energy. He is my brother. I love everyone. I don't agree with everything anyone does. That's what makes us individuals. And we have the right to independent thought.

Trump dislikes social media, according to his 22nd tweet of the week
I use Social Media not because I like to, but because it is the only way to fight a VERY dishonest and unfair "press," now often referred to as Fake News Media. Phony and non-existent "sources" are being used more often than ever. Many stories & reports a pure fiction!

First use of Twitter to fire a cabinet secretary, which, like losing virginity, is always best done in public
