jackk > Trump was and will be the only president who responded daily to very single criticism of him.
jackk, first I hope you will agree with the premise that R- presidents are in a much worse position. It was way worse before talk radios and cable TV and access to multiple papers online. Even now, most media is left-wing.
So, Trump responding on Twitter directly is a revolutionary way to respond directly without being misquoted and “put into context”. Obama did not need that. Papers created a favorable environment for him.
