Even Fox News Hosts Think Trump Needs To Stop Tweeting During The Impeachment Hearings

While most people under investigation go with "no comment," President Donald Trump is letting his unfettered opinions about the impeachment inquiry hearings fly.

But not in official statements or during official press conferences.

Trump is letting it all hang out on Twitter.


But almost no one thinks his perpetual tweeting at those giving sworn testimony or @-ing those participating in the hearings is a good idea.

Now even Fox & Friends is begging him to stop.

On Tuesday, as the couch denizens of Fox News' morning opinion show ran down the schedule of events for the hearings, host Brian Kilmeade offered a bit of advice to the person most likely to be watching them.

Kilmeade said:

"I just think overall, the President should just ignore this whole thing. Don't tweet during it, don't get outraged over it. It ticks you off…"
"There's so much for him to do, I just think let these guys like [Representative] Doug Collins [R-GA] and company fight it out and keep it on the straight and narrow for the Republican perspective."

A few hours earlier on another Fox News opinion program, Laura Ingraham offered similar advice.

Ingraham stated:

"Now if I were Trump, I wouldn't even talk about impeachment. I wouldn't tweet about it, I would dignify it."

People were surprised Fox News implored the President not to tweet, but weren't shocked he didn't follow the advice.






The impeachment inquiry continues on Wednesday. The presidential tweets are likely to continue as well.

The book The Twitter Presidency: Donald J. Trump and the Politics of White Rage is available here.

"The Twitter Presidency explores the rhetorical style of President Donald J. Trump, attending to both his general manner of speaking as well as to his preferred modality."
"Trump's manner, the authors argue, reflects an aesthetics of White rage, and it is rooted in authoritarianism, narcissism, and demagoguery. His preferred modality of speaking, namely through Twitter, effectively channels and transmits the affective dimensions of White rage by taking advantage of the platform's defining characteristics, which include simplicity, impulsivity, and incivility."

YouTube Star MrBeast Sparks Debate After Saying He Has An 'Offer Ready' To Buy TikTok

Popular YouTuber MrBeast claimed he has an "offer ready" to buy TikTok ahead of the potential U.S. ban of the popular app depending on the Supreme Court's decision on whether or not to uphold the bipartisan law signed by Democratic President Joe Biden.

Calls to shut down the popular short-form video app in the U.S. increased amid national security concerns that a foreign party could allegedly control the platform and compromise the data of the 170 million users who rely on the app to promote businesses and maintain influencer relevance to generate income.

Republican Ohio Representative Jim Jordan expressed being on board with conservatives lobbying for the 2028 Olympics to be removed from the planned hosting city of Los Angeles to a "red city."

Many conservatives cited Southern California's alleged mismanagement of the active wildfire crisis still plaguing much of the area due to dry vegetation and powerful wind gusts that spread the blazes, devastating nearly 40,000 acres and destroying 12,000 structures.
