And the Tweet Goes On

We have an answer to the burning question obsessing Washington for months. Friend and foe alike wondered whether and when Donald J. Trump would become presidential. Would the man who kept firing off incendiary messages all through his transition tweet from the podium at the Capitol, or from the reviewing stand as the military he now commands marched in front of him? Would he immediately undo his predecessors' executive orders with much better ones of his own?

Some predicted he would tweet executive orders. After all, as the Federalist Papers were to the Founding Fathers, Twitter is to Trump. The new president didn’t disappoint those with low expectations. Minutes after his hand was off the Bible his thumbs were on his newly encrypted Secret Service-issued mobile phone. Sure, the 140 character missives were bland but they nonetheless sent the message he had no plans to cease and desist, at least on his @realdonaldtrump account. He also issued some executive orders but not the ones dreaded by Dreamers or those enjoying overtime pay.
