Active Duty Marine calls out Trump on his Twitter style.



“A statement by the president, on Twitter or otherwise, must carry with it the authority and legitimacy of the Office of the President.”
-- Sorry, Captain; you being a Naval Academy grad and all, while I'm just a pore dum farmboy, but I'm gonna have to go ahead and call 'Bullsh*t'.
- If Trump posted AS POTUS, you MIGHT have a point. He doesn't.
- If this was true, it would open up a whopping Pandora's Box which would have global diplomacy / officialdom in a constant turmoil of litigation and review.
- Probably a good thing Marines have 'ordered you to attend Law School' Maybe you'll learn something about the lasting authority of international arbitive courts.
Which is to say almost none! ESPECIALLY the court you used as precedent.
