Tweets. They're knowingly allowing him to break the law.

We all acknowledge that we have a sociopath in the WH. We all acknowledge his tweets create division, divisiveness, as well as much of what it tweets are inflammatory, scurrilous and worse. The recent tweet re: Tillerson "wasting time" negotiating with N. Korea is horrendous coupled with his inferences and hinting of using military options to deal with them. Is this not behavior and rhetoric not such that it's privilege of Twitter use be suspended? What it tweeted re: the people in PR being ungrateful and expecting everything to be given to them is unconscionable. Enough of the madness. Enough of those of us sparing back and forth among ourselves when we should be focused on the common good for all of us and contact everyone we can to get this sociopath contained and removed. Contact Twitter Board, do what needs to be done. Don't squabble with each other but focus on the real cancer in our society. We have people dying in our country from neglect. We, all of us, the world are in fear of what this sociopath may do while his fingers continue to smoke twittering vilifying anyone who he deems uncomplimentary at any point in time. Seems like an evil force to be confronted.

Without Donald Trump, Twitter Inc. could lose almost a fifth of its value.

That’s the conclusion of Monness Crespi Hardt & Co. analyst James Cakmak, who said that the social media company would see as much as $2 billion in market value wiped out if @realDonaldTrump quit tweeting.

It’s not that the president’s defection would touch off a mass exodus, lowering the number of “monetizable” daily active users, Cakmak said in an interview. Instead, losing its most prominent user would hit Twitter’s intangible value and lead to what’s known as multiple compression.

“There is no better free advertising in the world than the president of the United States,” said Cakmak, who has a neutral rating on Twitter shares.
