    Most people I know think he's doing a decent job so far.

    And, even some previous harsh critics are having to admit it hasn't remotely been the disaster they expected (I heard someone on BBC last night who was involved in the Obama administration praising him for his foreign policy stances, for example).

    Maybe if the lefty sooks got away from their echo chamber Facebook groups and listened beyond the ABC etc. they might hear a more balanced view of things.

    Now you're making sense.

    I think social media in general is for morons, so I'm no fan of the twitter thing.
    But if it works...

    Not really. I despise social media, and am not on any of that crap.

    I realise some idiots will try to claim this website is social media, but I don't see it quite that way.

    However, I recognise that it is a way of getting your message out there.
    Even if it is to mostly self-obsessed morons. Unfortunately they get to vote too, so it makes sense.

    How many people do you know in any position of authority that uses twitter to get their message across to the media ..... apart from Malcolm and Dump ?????

    They need to grow up and behave like responsible people instead of self important buffoons being trendy

    These days, all of them do.

    And in Trumps case, it's a clever thing to do because most of the MSM are so biased against him it enables him to circumvent their slant on everything.

    Doesn't change the fact that social media is 99.9% utter dross.

    I'm sick of change just for the sake of change ........... been at the vanguard of all the new technologies in the networking space for the last 33 years, DEC/IBM were the leaders in getting the technologies out there, Cisco only started in 1990 but dominate the networking space today.

    The trouble with the phones, routers, switches, firewalls, etc is that only about 50% of the functionality is used and the stuff that is (twitter/facebook) is rubbish , used a lot by criminals to find out when you're not home so they can rob you.

    Since when has what people eat, EVERY meal !!!, so ****ing important ???

    I could give a ***** if you're at Funkies eating a dildo sandwich (on special this week ?? :p )

    BTW thanks for the invite :p

    We are in complete agreement with most of that.

    People who think *any* change is somehow a good thing are either utter idiots or are spruiking the change.

    As I said, I'm not on any of that crap social media, and based on what I've seen it astounds me that anyone over the age of 15 is.

    Yeah, I give a **** what you're eating, what you think of the latest dopey reality TV show, etc..
    And, no, it's not remotely annoying for you to forward to me yet another extraordinarily unfunny "funny" video that you saw on Facebook....

    Nothing worse than being stuck in a space with someone who constantly shoves their phone in your face and says
    "You've just GOT to see this. It's HILARIOUS!"

    yawn...

    Grown adults don't seem to mind me.

    Adolescents no doubt find me boring though.

    Twitter is just a tool, like all technology, so I have no problem with politicians using Twitter; the problem is the junk they write on it! Comment applies to all sides.
