The President's Tweets

I don't have a real twitter account, only a mock one done by my sons pretending to be me.  I never read the president's tweets unless someone links to one. Even less often do I click through to read the full tweet itself.  I saw two in a short span this week, so automatically started reading the comments. Both were quickly filled with negative responses, tending strongly to change-of-subject, insult, and bad humor. It occurs to me that there must be people out there who consider it their mission to get in and say something critical as soon as possible to whatever the president says, in hopes of undermining his message.  Also, because it's a big audience, there is likely some thrill in getting such attention, however evanescent.

What a sad life.
