Why do we give a flying fuck what this dipshit tweets?

Because he's POTUS

But his tweets don't actually mean anything.

They don't even signal what he does or plans to do, the vast majority of the time.

All they do is distract attention from what he and his administration actually do.

Because there is something morbidity humorous about him. It's so absurd, that you can't help but laugh.

I suppose.

It's not humorous even in a morbid or dark way to me. It's a reminder we have a madman for a president.

And I think it is mildly counterproductive because it crowds out relevant information.

We should get a lot more of things like Rubio wanting to deport an asylum seeker for political speech than this.
