Should Trump delete his Twitter account? | The Tylt

Many argue Twitter actually handed Trump the presidency.

Twitter has allowed Trump to dominate the political conversation and news cycle, from the primaries until now. Why would he give something up that has been such an effective tool for him? Doesn't the president have the right to free speech as well?

But with all of his recent legal trouble, Trump's lawyers are apparently begging him to stop—anything he tweets can and will be used against him.

And then: there was "covfefe." Was it a typo? An Ambien moment? Who can tell? Moments like that on Twitter certainly don't win the president respect.

Many of Trump's supporters say he needs a direct line of communication to the American public, because the media will not tell the truth about what's really happening. They trust the president far more than they do the media.

And even though covfefe-type moments make great punchlines on late-night television, others say Trump's habit of demonizing the press, making wild and unfounded accusations against his adversaries, and attacking private citizens on social media is genuinely dangerous. You don't taunt countries with nuclear weapons on Twitter.

Even some of his supporters think he needs to put the phone down.

But the President shows no sign of stopping. He's got one app on his phone: Twitter.
