Could this be the beginning of "the pivot" ?

New spin from "the news":

Kelly has brought order.

He got Trump to stop tweeting.

Trump will now turn to trade and tax reform.

He has finally gotten serious about being president.

Grownups are in charge.

That's the way I think this plays out in the MSM.

Edit to Add: Two "official" tweets posted - not the typical Trump-style ones.

1. He just forgot to plug his tweet phone in last night

Will probably fire somebody, clearly can't be his fault

[oberliner]

2. Or maybe he is done for a while

Remember during the campaign when he switched from talking off the top of his head to giving teleprompter speeches?

This could be that moment.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

28. Yeah, that's not going to happen.

Even when he "switched" to teleprompter speeches, he still ad libbed half the speech out of his ass.

His recent excrement spew at the Boy Scouts was a prime example of that. It was 5 minutes of a prepared speech wrapped around 35 minutes of Trump blabbering on whatever the hell was on his little mind.

3. I don't think he has any self-restraint... n/t

[Raven]

4. I'll bet Kelly made no tweeting a condition of his

staying on as CoS. Trump has an addiction to tweeting so I figure he'll find someone else to tweet for him. It's either that or Trump will behave for about a week. We'll see.

[FSogol]

5. Behave for a week? Three days, tops, imo. n/t

[Girard442]

6. Actually, passing his tweets through someone who just copyedits them...

...would be a big jump in maturity for someone like Trump. Actually having someone critique the content -- I don't think he can get that far.

[frogmarch]

7. Shucks!

I hope it doesn't last long. I don't want him normal. I want him gone!

[hatrack]

8. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!

It will play out in the MSM for at least a few hours.

[njhoneybadger]

9. I think not

[spanone]

10. yet.

[Pachamama]

11. It won't last long

[PearliePoo2]

12. We'll see how long it lasts. Maybe Kelly laid down conditions.

He's a tweet junkie. He'll be 'jonesing' soon.

[oberliner]

14. Agreed

I do think Kelly laid down conditions. It will be interesting to see if it lasts. I think he might tweet some generic "All is well" type things but will avoid the crazy "Mika's face was bleeding" type stuff.

Also, I think the media is ready to tell the story of how Kelly brought order to the White House.

[RKP5637]

13. Now, we don't know what he's thinking! n/t

[Clarity2]

15. He's tweeted after 9am before

give it time. He's also not tweeted in the morn, but then tweeted in the evening. I don't think
anyone can curtail his impulses. If he doesn't tweet for 24 hrs, then I'd say something is up!
Although, I think he did do that once. So err, make it 48 hrs.

[lame54]

16. One day in a row

[PearliePoo2]

17. I hope he DOESN'T quit his tweet habit. I don't want any form of 'normalcy' ever ascribed to him.

His tweets expose and reveal who he really is. His tweets are also what have him in deep shit up to his neck.
He's an unhinged, mean, lying, criminal, sexual predator, likely suffering with dementia. He needs to be in prison.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

18. "A leopard can't change its spots... "

A person cannot change who they are .

[oberliner]

21. He switched his campaign style

From improvised off-the-cuff rants to reading off a teleprompter.

Remember how he used to make fun of Hillary for reading her speeches from a teleprompter? A little while later, he was doing exactly the same thing.

[bellmartin]

23. Not exactly. While she's not the best at it, he's always been much, much (and comically) worse

[oberliner]

25. For a while he did

Also, 2 "official" type tweets were just posted. I bet he sticks to that now for a while.

[MGKrebs]

19. Well seeing as how his last tweet was...

"Only the Fake News Media and Trump enemies want me to stop using Social Media (110 million people). Only way for me to get the truth out!" I doubt Kelly put a no-tweet condition on his accepting the job, and if he did there is already mega stress in that relationship.

[oberliner]

26. He just posted two "official" type tweets

Maybe this will be able to let him save face (I'm still tweeting!) but without doing his usual "Mika is stupid" type tweets.

[kentuck]

20. I think he agreed to send them out a little later in the mornings.

He won't stop.

[HipChick]

24. Timing is irrelvant..Tweets can be scheduled

Daniel Scavino Jr. is paid $180K salary of tax payers money to manage his Twitter account..

[ADX]

22. The longest period of time Chump has gone without tweeting...

...is 2753 minutes.

He'll be back. He can't help it.

[ADX]

30. Well, that didn't take long; he's already back at it with a self-aggrandizing tweet...

[Sanity Claws]

27. Actually one was very revealing

Take a look at https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=9405253

The tweet used the word "comrades." If Donnie boy didn't write the tweet, then the person writing the tweet is a Russky.

[oberliner]

29. Interesting

Neither of those tweets actually came from Trump, it seems. I wonder who posted those and what the "comrade" line was all about.
