Rep. Pete King urges Trump to quit tweeting and focus on getting the job done

Source: New York Daily News

Rep. Pete King (R-N.Y.), a staunch President Trump supporter, on Sunday urged the commander-in-chief to "stop making unforced errors," like posting bizarre tweets and conducting free-wheeling press conferences.

"I agree with 90% of what he's doing. But, maybe slow down on some of the tweets and just focus on getting the job done," King told John Catsimatidis on "The Cats Roundtable" radio program on AM 970 in New York. "The American people want stronger anti-terrorism measures they want to have more secure borders, they want to lower taxes, they want to rebuild the infrastructure."

"What he has to do is stop making these unforced errors," King said.

In recent days, Trump has made headlines for tweeting that the news media was "the enemy of the American people" and for holding free-wheeling 77-minute press conference, the bulk of which he used to rip the media.

It is the best barometer to measure his mental and emotional health. I think Trump the Tweeter is the real Trump.

"Shhhhhhhhh By making yourself into a twitter buffoon, it causes undue attention to what you are actually doing. We need you to at least act like a calm and thicker-skinned mature leader so that most people will take all the destructive things you are doing with the benefit of the doubt"
