Everyone that thinks the President's Trump's tweets are an indication of stupidity or irrationality should read this article. According to the article, George Lakoff, a professor emeritus of linguistics at UC Berkeley believes that the President's use of Twitter is “all strategic” in nature and “not crazy”. He asserts that Trump’s tweets embody one of four strategic communication tactics: preemptive framing, diversion, deflection and trial-ballooning. The article also asserts that the Press/Main Stream Media have failed America by giving each Tweet immediate coverage as "Breaking News". All in all a good read.
