I quit following @POTUS on Twitter when the account became Trump’s, and quit @realDonaldTrump at the same time. I didn’t want to see tweets from 45, or award him one more follower.
But a new bot, which turns Trump’s tweets into the official White House press statements that they actually are, is making me reconsider allowing messages from the current office holder.

Trump doesn’t seem to get that his tweets signal our allies and enemies, send markets soaring or falling, and — much as I hate to admit — matter.

Maybe if Trump himself followed @RealPressSecBot, he’d understand that he is president now and he can’t keep indulging every thought that floats through his head. To continue to do so risks our country’s standing in the world. Not to mention, it’s just plain embarrassing.
