homersapien 10,918 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 The president was not in the Situation Room that evening. But his Twitter account, at least, was active. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/trump-yemen-raid-twitter_us_58ae0acbe4b057efdce8c07c?fx1enhihhhyk138fr& First things first I suppose.

Mims44 1,638 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I'm sure this has been asked and answered already, but I'm out of the loop. Most celebs have personnel that are responsible for their twitter/FB/etc accounts. Does Trump have such personnel or does he handle it personally 100%?

Well your post seemed to imply that Trump was not on his job because he was typing away at twitter, so yeah... it makes a difference whether or not he was actually shirking responsibilities in order to play around on twatter.

It is my understanding that during the campaign he both had people tweet for him and tweeted himself. Tweets he made himself were from an android phone and tweets made by his staff were from a different device. Now he has an official twitter account that is run by staff. He still tweets from the android on his personal account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was questioning the hypothetical that Trump was in the situation room while someone else was twittering for him. Either Trump wasn't in the situational room and was tweeting (most likely) or he was in the situational room and not paying attention since he was tweeting.

You asked two questions with one sentence. The inference was that you assumed he was in the situation room, and that you were asking if anyone would use his Twitter account besides him. Perhaps you could be more precise when you posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumps 3,357 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 It is AMAZING how the exact same claims are being made against Trump that were being made about Obama. The same people who were defending Obama are not bashing Trump, and the same people who were bashing Obama are defending Trump. This is as pathetic now as it was when the same was being said about Obama. We should be better than this...but we are not. Our partisanship is remarkable.

We were TOLD that Obama was at the WH, but NOT in the situation room. Make of that what you will. Last night on Fox News' Special Report, former National Security Council Spokesman Tommy Vietor admitted that President Obama was not in the situation room the night of the 9/11 Benghazi attack. After making the admission, host Bret Baier followed up by asking where President Obama was that night, to which Vietor deflected and said, "In the White House."

I have ZERO doubt that Trump was accessible while the seal team was acting and that Obama was accessible during the Benghazi attack. This is partisan garbage in my opinion.
