Probably because Trump has actually dictated policy from Twitter.  You cannot dismiss the President of the United States making public comments on Twitter as if it doesn't have weight.  Its officially from him and the implementations saying the wrong thing has consequences.  So yes, if the President uses Twitter, Youtube or any form of media to put out his message its as good as any source.  I really cannot believe you are trying to say it doesn't have an impact.

Bolded: Do not give me a narrative that isnt mine,i never said that.

I do think that there is too much focus put on social media reactions yes, and it ofcourse has an impact but do the consequences resolve even sporadically into something fruitfull other than the current trend of feeding echochambers? Highly doubtfull its worth all the division over dumb tweets so again i do think there is too much focus on trivial blabber on social media by all sides and not just the Trump "side" that popped up before your eyes when reading my comment.

My statement that the President of the US cannot just throw out shittalking on any media and not expect it to be official which it is.  There is no person within our government that can just throw out any sort of comment on any media and it not be official from them.  I have no clue where you are going with this because it pretty common for any individual whether they are the President or just your average joe.  So yes, someone who is in a government position as high as the President does not get the benefit of the doubt when they use any media to put out their thoughts.  So I still do not understand where you are coming from.  If someone want their own echochamber then they should make their stuff private.  For Public officials they do not have this option so they should understand the impact when they do use such media.
