Personally? I think that, after four (or possibly eight—hopefully not) years of Trump, the ad hominem effect will wear off. People will want somebody more respectful.

Mind you, that's also what I hope will happen, so I'm hardly an objective speculator.

My guess is that we'll see a return to form similar to what you describe here, except that attempts to crack social media will still be prevalent. I also see us abandoning pointless standards of presidential decorum (like the president taking a call from someone who our besties thinks is a big meanie or that the president MUST attend [x] event). As far as tweeting goes, I hope it fizzles out because of how often the media portrays tweets as presidential decrees that are on the same level as executive orders when they're just shitposts at heart that shouldn't be overanalyzed.

I see the opposite. With each passing day the masses are getting more and more tired of the circus, and his base is shrinking. The buyers remorse denial is getting harder and harder to deny. And it's not even been a third of his first year.

There's serious controversy over him and Russia, Ivanka and her business ties, Kushner and his business ties, Flynn has become a serious albatross, his US taxpayer spending for personal reasons is beyond ridiculous and without precendent, and he simply comes off as a bufoon over and over again.

Who the **** was waiting for his NINE tweets about Sally Yates after her testimony yesterday?

The circus tent is about to come down.

I'm a little confused by what you mean. You think that the importance/rate of presidential tweets will grow? Or are you talking about respect for decorum...increasing? And both of these things because his fanbase is dwindling?

I'm surprised he made it this long tbh. His attempts to sway the election were blatant.

Interesting that it happened a day after the story broke saying that he might not have "told the whole truth" about the Clinton emails.

I think our future presidents will still tweet to connect to the youth through social media but not to the extent that Trump does. It won't be personal tweets responding to events that happened that they don't like or things said about them

Trumps posts give an insight into his wild erratic behavior and they deserve to be analyzed because you can definitely figure out what he will be doing soon based on them. He also uses it to lie to the public while doing other things behind closed doors so it is a bit hard to pin down how accurate certain tweets are. I do realize that some of his tweets are just throw away comments that don't need to be highlighted but there is some good info in some of them.

This is why it's such a good idea to not treat tweets like presidential decrees IMO.
