> [@doorhinge](#): > > Is Trump stirring up a ruckus, OR is the LSM/DNC/Hillary worshippers stirring up many unverified ruckuses in order to generate advertising dollars and support? Much as Trump supporters would like to feel that he is being unfairly targeted, the fact is that the media is going to do this to _whoever_ won the election. You, he and anyone who works for him better get used to it. ---

Yesterday and today, he’s been tweeting responses to the media. For example, “I am not trying to get “top level security clearance” for my children. This was a typically false news story.” Or, “The failing @nytimes story is so totally wrong on transition. It is going so smoothly. Also, I have spoken to many foreign leaders.” He really shouldn’t be responding to each and every perceived slight and certainly not by Twitter. This is what a spokesperson is for. ---

Trump will have to face North Korea sooner than he thought (warning this link is a horrible excuse for information): [http://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/latest-news/562564/Kim-Jong-un-North-Korea-nukes-money-Iran-US-Donald-Trump](http://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/latest-news/562564/Kim-Jong-un-North-Korea-nukes-money-Iran-US-Donald-Trump) > [@](#): > > North Korea is planning to welcome President-elect Donald Trump into the White House by firing an intermediate-range ballistic missile. Iran was reportedly on hand to witness the latest missile test by North Korea earlier this year. ---

Well, once he’s President, he won’t have all this time to be on Twitter. Oh–wait! “Hold on a sec, Vlad, I’ve got to send a couple of tweete.” “Give me a minute, Mr. Speaker, don’t bang that gavel yet–I’m on Twitter.” “Hey, tell the pilot to circle the field a couple of times, I’ve got some tweets to get out.” He’ll have plenty of time to be on Twitter since **he doesn’t read**. Reading several newspapers every day is time-consuming. Ask Barak Obama. ---

> [@Wesley\_Clark](#): > > Like being in a relationship with someone with borderline personality disorder. [POST=19432842]Just remember that I called it.[/POST] > [@drewder](#): > > Why would that be a crime? Trump has been getting high level briefings since before the election. Why would it be odd for the people on his transition team to be given security clearances? It is not unusual for people on a transition team to have security clearances. Of course, they’re usually people who hold or have already held clearances because of their prior experience in government service. It is unusual for individuals with no prior service or experience to be put into roles of managing transition or dealing with classified information, and it is particularly questionable for Trump to put the people who were supposed to be managing his business interests in a “blind trust” to also be performing critical functions in establishing his transition into the White House. > [@Dewey\_Finn](#): > > Yesterday and today, he’s been tweeting responses to the media.

This is what a spokesperson is for. Just wait for the State of the Union Twitter feed, or his upcoming Instagram war with Putin once they have their inevitable falling out over Putin refusing to use missiles to etch the name “Trump” into Damascus in letters large enough to be seen by satellite imagery.

Trump is supposed to meet with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Thursday but according to the [HuffPost](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/trump-meeting-foreign-leader_us_582cecace4b030997bbd71fb): > [@](#): > > One day before U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s first meeting with a foreign leader, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, Japanese officials said they had not finalized when or where in New York it would take place, who would be invited, or in some cases whom to call for answers.
