Donald Trump has become tweeter in chief.<\/p>\n

His latest foil is another former prominent politician, a guy named Arnold Schwarzenegger. The two men connected by a reality TV show, “Celebrity Apprentice,” have been tweeting back and forth for a couple of days now.<\/p>\n

Honestly, it is so damn “unpresidented” — to borrow a term — that it’s driving me batty.<\/p>\n

Trump is telling us how “Apprentice” ratings have tanked since he left the show to become, um, president of the United States of America.<\/em> Arnold — the current host of the show — has responded with a seemingly tongue-in-cheek attack on the president, suggesting the two men switch jobs; if only the U.S. Constitution would allow the Austria-born Schwarzenegger to do the job that Trump now holds.<\/p>\n

I know this plea will fall on deaf ears. My Trumpkin friends who read this blog will scoff at me;\u00a0the anti-Trumpkins out there might express some sorrow for my persistence.<\/p>\n

Still, this activity by the president of the United States is so unbecoming of his office. I get that Arnold bears some responsibility as well, given that he once was a consequential\u00a0governor of the nation’s most populous, wealthiest state — and who once was married to a member of two<\/em> of the nation’s most prominent political families: Maria Shriver.<\/p>\n

Maybe I should just heed my own advice and ignore this ridiculous behavior. I should stop commenting on it with this blog.<\/p>\n

I guess I have to acknowledge that I am doing Trump’s bidding by calling attention to it, no matter how negatively I feel about it.<\/p>\n

There, I just did. I still don’t like it.<\/p>\n

Put down the Twitter device, Mr. President. You’ve got many more infinitely more important matters<\/em> to occupy your waking hours. This is no way to “make America great again.”<\/p>\n\n
