No one in their right mind so positioned should have a Facebook or Twitter account. The POTUS included . They are both just impulsive media venues that you think you are being heard but your just making an ASS of yourself. Common people should not even have them. They are not secure and everyone thinks it's some big scrap booking party line like sitting around nosy listening to police scanners but your every key stroke friend like and dislike is a profile that we have already seen used in the election process. This site itself in not secured.
