Speaker Nancy Pelosi told Recode that the way President Trump uses Twitter has cheapened the presidency.
Said Pelosi: Hes just being a freak, I mean, hes just terrible. Theres more of a responsibility for a president to communicate his point of view, which we should respect, hes the president of the United States, whether you agree with him or not, he has a point of view. But to use the office of the president as an attack vehicle for his market, it seems to have worked.
She also criticized the sometimes-obsessive coverage of Trumps Twitter outbursts: All they want to talk about is, how on Earth did he do 50 tweets in 48 hours? I think the press is an enabler of him He makes assaults on them and they strengthen him by just talking about that and thats what an authoritarian wants you to be talking about him.
