No, for at least 3 reasons. 1. Security threat. 2. The format does not allow a real discussion of complex concepts or policy approaches. 3. It's too easy to spout off...which he will...which will harm his reputation, and therefore harm the nation.

Sensitive information is not released on social media or the public side of .gov so there is no security threat. The details can be posted on .gov sites.

I think the biggest problem may be controlling what not to say that could be offensive and draw the line between what is and isn't proper to say. Its fine to express a point but know when to end the statement before putting a foot in His mouth. I'm not talking about being politically Correct, there is too much of that but a little diplomacy wouldn't hurt.

MSG Mitch Dowler - I think you mean sensitive information is not SUPPOSED to be released on social media. It happens all the time; and Trump's tweeting up to this point has not shown the degree of self-control to indicate he wouldn't make a mistake with sensitive info in the future.

We know factually that Hillary Clinton is incompetent with all forms of media and national security matters but Trump is no stranger to social media and has successfully maintained non-disclosure agreements involving billions of dollars of investment transactions. It is not impossible for anyone to screw up but we do know that the mainstream media is not capable of accurately conveying a message.

He probably shouldn't but it can be entertaining and quite frankly makes for a very transparent administration. Which we ALL want.

I think that he need to grow up He not a Kid and need to act like someone that is grown up but him being that he will never grow up I am really scared what's going to happen to this country in the next 4 years. I don't know what people see in him all the time he was campaigning he was lying his ass off and bad mouth people and and yes he good good friends with Russia so my god please help me my PTSD might kick in.

Using Twitter and you tube allow him to speak directly to the people without the perversion of the message by the liberal media.
