becomes president?
It just seems to me that he can throw this country into chaos with less than 140 characters. And he can also produce information that will alert our enemies.
Obama was given a blackberry in order to avoid information from reaching the wrong hands. Trump has no filters so he should be prevented from communicating randomly on social media. I realize this is going to make it less entertaining for many of us, but it's about the safety of our country.

We know Trump's toadies will never take his Twitter away. Only Twitter itself can deny him the ability to Tweet.

As President, he is the final authority over things like how he communicates. He's the boss of everyone who might want to tell him what he can and cannot do.
As far as I can tell, there is nobody with the authority to make Trump stop tweeting. Someone might strongly urge him to stop, but there is nobody who can order him to do anything at all. He will be the President. He gives orders. He doesn't take them from anyone, as far as I know.

(146,286 posts)That's true. But, we cannot force a President to do or not do anything. The only people who can remove a President from office are the members of the two houses of Congress. The bar is very high for that to happen, and the Congress is now controlled by Republicans. Soon, so will the Supreme Court be so controlled.
Yes, we can put something "out there," and Trump can simply ignore it. I imagine he will do just that with all such suggestions as the one that would have him stop tweeting. He will tweet if he wants to tweet, I'm afraid.

(12,409 posts)A massive campaign to petition twitter to do so or a massive campaign to discredit and shame those who still tweet; either works for me.
