Many of those attack tweets come in the wee hours of the morning. What kind of person ruminates at 2, 3, 4 am and fires off attacks? Manic? Obsessive? Insomniac? Nothing good.

Probably a true-believing unpaid intern - with a personality like Jack Black's character in Bob Roberts.

The sort of President that talks to the paintings in the White House while wandering about drunk.

Except, in the connected world, we'd all get to hear the imperial rants on Twitter. Try to imagine Nixon's drunken tweets!

"I’m Not a Crook"
The Public Face and Private Political Reality of Richard M. Nixon

I can see it now: "The IRS is full of Jews." In private, Nixon was for real, not a wanna-be-hater like Trump.
When Nixon hated you, you got a visit from his black ops plumbers, no tweet needed.
