by Caleb Howe | Jan 1st, 2019, 9:26 am
Happy New Year! Its January 1st, and President Donald Trump has issued his first tweets of 2019, and at first, may not seem like what you expected.
The presidents twitter is a media outlet unto itself, a source of news stories, memes, haters, mockers, fans, devotion, controversy, policy and more. From time to time people pretend at ignoring it or at deeming it beneath Americas attention to obsess over, but like celebrity break-up stories and buddy cop films, the Presidents tweets arent leaving the American spotlight anytime soon. So his first tweet of the new year is, of course, of interest, be that interest morbid, prurient, or genuine.
Well this years first tweet is here, and, given all the above, you may find it rather underwhelming. Its a book pitch for a Fox newser.

Rather a let-down, to be honest. Certainly not one of the greatest hits of the medium.
But fear not. Before you get too disappointed, youll be glad to know that he followed up with a second tweet, and it is gloriously all-caps and angry, full of Trumpian buzz words.

When we learned that writing entire paragraphs in all capital letters adds emphasis and calls the reader's attention to key points... he's good. Nobody knows more about English than him.
