I think what this whole incident highlights is that Trump doesn’t understand the difference between being the president and playing one on TV. From any other president, we’d all be taking this as a serious charge. But instead, we all know that he doesn’t understand the power that his word holds and is acting as if he were just sending out a tweet as a regular citizen, the kind of citizen who is really into Rush Limbaugh, instead of the kind of citizen who actually holds the nuclear launch codes.

Fun fact: you’re not supposed to use sharp utensils on teflon, because they can scratch the ‘stick-free’ surface which will then peel off.
As the original “Teflon Don” found out, eventually:

Beau Willimon, the former show runner of House of Cards, shared his thoughts about why Twitter should delete Trump’s account. I’ve cut-and-pasted from Twitter so as not to spam the board.
Today’s tantrum is just the latest example of why @realDonaldTrump & @POTUS must be removed from Twitter. Here’s my full argument… only one person on Twitter is President of the United States. That comes with a supreme and unique responsibility unlike any other user. What the President tweets has real and significant impact on the business of governance, world affairs and national security. President Trump has consistently made misleading claims, attacked the judiciary and threatened sovereign states, the press & public. His tweets recklessly bypass diplomatic channels without consultation from the State Department, IC or the Pentagon. Even as a private citizen it is arguable that he has violated Twitter rules regarding violent threats, harassment and hateful conduct. Certainly in the unique position of @POTUS the repercussions and intimations his tweets cross these lines. Today’s outburst is broadcasting to foreign leaders his continuing impulsiveness, recklessness, delusion & ignorance about gov’t. That makes @RealDonaldTrump’s tweets a national security threat. It emboldens our enemies to take advantage of his flagrant shortcomings.
For those who would argue that the removal of his account is a violation of free speech, consider this… The WH has retaliated against the press by selectively locking them out, called them “the enemy of the people” & ignored hard questions. But with his behavior on this service, Trump makes the argument for himself being a liability to the people. The President is free to say whatever he wants, and has many of ways of doing so, but no private company owes him an outlet. While you cannot prevent the President from saying reckless things elsewhere, Twitter is not obligated to facilitate that here. In fact, with your worldwide reach & impact on the media, you have a duty to steer clear of accounts facilitating nat’l security threats. Twitter is amazing. It connects the world. That comes with its own responsibility: to do your part in protecting that world.

Those around me are doubling (tripling? quintupling?) down on the Donald. It’s more mind-blowing than the election.

Yes, I’ve often wondered what sort of guts it would take for Twitter execs to delete his account (and I agree that his lies and abusive Tweets merit a deletion).

Tapped without a warrant, by specific order of the former president?
Dubious.
Tapped for some other legitimate reason?
His Unfitness is a career con artist and comic-book supervillain, after all.
