MID-HUDSON – One of President Donald Trump’s main forms of communication with the American and foreign populations continues to be tweeting, something he used with a vengeance during the campaign.
He has not eased up, and in fact, has gone after domestic and overseas targets.
Is that presidential? Democratic Congressman Sean Patrick Maloney (NY-18) doesn’t think so.
Congressman John Faso (NY-19), a Republican like Trump, concurs that it is not necessarily appropriate.
“On matters of national and international security, foreign affairs, I think it is ill-advised for the executive to issue tweets as a means of national policy,” Faso said.
New York State Senator William Larkin of Cornwall-on-Hudson, also a Republican, is undecided about the president’s tweeting policy.
“Does he tweet too much? I don’t know; I don’t tweet at all,” Larkin said. “But, the question is I would rather have someone tell me up front what he is doing.”
And Larkin, who is in his 39th year in the state legislature, said that is exactly what Trump did from the early days of his campaign.
