Donald Trump hasn't tweeted in a very long time

Donald Trump's closest friends and allies have begun to publicly warn the president that his Twitter tirades are fueling mayhem in the White House and risk jeopardizing his presidency.

A majority of people who voted for President Donald Trump want someone in the White House to get the boot (and, no, we're not talking impeachment, although plenty of people want that as well).

"The president is president of the United States", Spicer said, "so they are considered official statements by the president of the United States".

NBC News reports, (http://nbcnews.to/2r1qc3w) President Trump's tweets have played a major role in his presidency by "offering a window into his thinking, sometimes at the expense of his administration's own messaging".

"Though the architects of the Constitution surely didn't contemplate presidential Twitter accounts, they understood that the president must not be allowed to banish views from public discourse simply because he finds them objectionable". Tweets have become his public mouthpiece, used to issue train-of-thought broadcasts, as well as plenty of oddities - it's going to be some time before "covfefe" is forgotten.

Trump has also attacked London Mayor Sadiq Khan, calling him "pathetic" in the wake of the London terror attack, as well as Qatar, hinting the Muslim country may have sponsored radical ideology.

The same day, Sarah Huckabee Sanders praised social media for giving Trump "the ability to speak directly to the people without the bias of the media filtering those types of communications". White House counterterrorism adviser Sebastian Gorka clashed with CNN's Chris Cuomo. It's not an executive order.

Kellyanne Conway scolded the press on Monday for its "obsession with covering everything [Trump] says on Twitter and very little of what he does as president", as if the two aren't inextricably tied.

"I have not had that discussion with him", Spicer told reporters during a White House briefing, adding: "if I haven't had a discussion with him about a subject, I tend not to speak about it".

"Not true", Conway shot back, though Trump's Twitter activity indicated otherwise. Instead, Spicer and others must take the fallout for their president.

GOP voters, however, split 41 to 37 percent when asked if they believe his use of Twitter is a "good thing;" 37 to 35 percent on whether they think Trump's tweeting helps his presidency; and 31 to 28 when asked if they think it helps Republicans up for re-election in Congress, the poll found.
