With all the social media platforms available, it seems obvious that the president, and other members of the government would be on at least one of them, but is this a good idea?

Many know that President Donald Trump likes to tweet, and when he does, he voices his opinion, loudly. Trump has the presidential Twitter, @POTUS, given to each president of the United States, and his personal Twitter, @realDonaldTrump.

Trump seems to tweet a lot more often from his personal Twitter, which currently has 41 million followers. On the official presidential Twitter, he is much more quiet, only retweeting other members of the government’s Tweets, and speaking out a bit on holidays, memorials, or when a disaster happens. However, on his personal Twitter, he shares every bit of information that U.S. citizens could want to know. This ranges from his opinion, on people, usually governors or officials of states, to what he has planned for the country, and what he is currently working on to fix it.

There are very different sides to the opinion on what Trump, and other members of the governments do on social media. With tweeting, he can easily give out our plans to other countries, especially when there are tensions are high, very much like when North Korea was doing missile tests.

Talking bad about other officials and governors can turn bad as well, because, as a nation, all of these people work together to keep us safe, and make the country work. Making enemies with these people publically doesn’t look good, nor is it good to how our country runs.

On the other hand, Trump tweeting out about what he is doing, and what he has planned could be useful information. Citizens, journalist, and just the standard person with a Twitter could quickly know what might be coming our way as a country. As well as his thoughts on other world events, such as disasters, or potential wars.

Some people differ opinions often based on which political party they agree with. President Obama was not near as active on Twitter, and many people are used to that, having him for president for eight years. Trump does the same thing Obama did on the @POTUS account seemingly, retweeting others tweets, and giving condolences.
