This article explores and explains why President Trump’s tweets really matter despite his critics arguing that they are a distraction, “President Donald Trump’s critics have long argued whether his tweets are a distraction from the more important policy decisionsbeing made behind the scenes.” Moreover, the tweets which have matter since President Trump came into office have had real-world results. In one of his tweets, he cited that the costs of build a new Boeing Air Force One for Future presidents has costs that were out of control, “Boeing is building a brand new 747 Air Force One for future presidents, but costs are out of control, more than $4 billion. Cancel order!” The tweets sent chills into the U.S. Air Force that eventually reduced the prices and other effects were experienced when the stock prices of Toyota, General Motors, and Lockheed Martin dipped after attacking them on twitter. Furthermore, the travel ban was the worst of all during the early months of his Presidency because even the Department of Justice was not happy with it.
