Yep, I agree (distraction). I just wish he (and Musk, who thinks the day is wasted if he doesn't release 100 tweets before breakfast) would learn that the world doesn't have to hear every stray thought that enters your head. Solzhenitsyn had the right idea: Speak sparingly, and only on matters of utmost importance. "Even a fool is considered wise if he keeps silence." Prov. 17:28

I can live with Trump spending his time tweeting. Let's be honest, the man isn't that great at pushing legislation. So let him be "Distractor in Chief" while the competent underlings drive the agenda forward. (I can say that because we have competent underlings this time.)

We just spent 4 years being governed by the technocratic rejects from the Ivy faculty lounges while our supposed president spent 12 hours a day sleeping. (And that doesn't even count the naps at major summits and cabinet meetings.) Based on that, I think even liberals should give Trump's team the benefit of the doubt.
