...the goal of the GOP and this asshat is to stress us all (everyone) out for no reason.

Sadistic.

Tweets do not make policy and it is business as usual for now. 45 actually has to draft a policy change for it to take effect and since They aren't staffing the White House who knows how long that will take

Biggest inaugural crowd. Spicer never recovered.

3-5 million voted illegally. Our voter information is being sent to a voter suppression organizer.

We could go on and on.

His tweets are transcribed to White House memos and considered "official."

It is hard to tell. Trump received a ton of pushback from real military types and may have realized that he was being an idiot
