Trump's Twitter: Nothing To Rant About
Video Transcript:Doug Simon: Stop complaining about Donald Trump and Twitter. I’m Doug Simon of DS Simon Media. And both the media and anti-Trumpers are really bent out of shape about his use of Twitter. And it’s a distraction. Want controversy? FDR, when he started using radio to deliver his message directly to the public. Later, he was hailed as a genius for mastering this medium. JFK and Ronald Reagan both mastered television to great advantage.Doug: More recently, President Obama used social media to target millennials effectively. So what’s the problem? And why the double Trump standard for his use of Twitter? It’s dumb politics, and it’s dumb journalism. It actually gives Trump a very effective response if you don’t agree with something he’s saying or doing. He can easily parry the criticism of use of Twitter, and that distracts from the real issue that you’re trying to communicate and get across.Doug: So here’s my advice– if you don’t like Donald Trump, praise Twitter. But bury him for the content and meaning of his messages and actions.
