Joe Biden and President Trump duke it out on Twitter

President Donald Trump and Twitter: A match made in hell for White House publicity. Despite the poor representation of the United States, Donald Trump’s Twitter account gives us a window into his mind. He tweets raw thoughts and sends them off so quickly he often leaves spelling errors like “covfefe.” I personally do not agree with most things he Tweets, but I do have a quite confounding interest in them.

I know that he has been obnoxious in the past with his Twitter account, and he has adopted a sort of infamy amongst celebrities on the social media app. However, I never did expect him to threaten a physical quarrel.

On Thursday, March 22, the President of the United States, Donald Trump, tweeted to the masses: “Crazy Joe Biden is trying to act like a tough guy. Actually, he is weak, both mentally and physically, and yet he threatens me, for the second time, with physical assault. He doesn’t know me, but he would go down fast and hard, crying all the way. Don’t threaten people Joe!” in a response to a comment that former Vice President Joe Biden made in a speech earlier that week.

Although I admit Biden is part to blame here, Donald Trump is way out of line. I disagree with his statement, but more than that, I disagree with how he represents the United States. A President’s demeanor should reflect their namesake; they should be presidential. I believe that they should not call other politicians weak, and they should not threaten a physical quarrel over a social media app, under any circumstances.

This tweet reveals, to me at least, that President Donald Trump has no regard for presidentiality. I personally do not even think that he cares how the United States looks in the international eye. I think that he is so caught up in this “the United States is the greatest country in the world” delusion, that he feels little need to prove himself or his administration as legitimate to the global powers.

I want to love my country so badly. I want to believe in the power of freedom, and the Constitution, and the founding of this country, but President Donald Trump’s public displays of idiocracy are very close to ruining that for me.
