      1. Should we just ignore Trump's tweets? A surprising number of people think that's a valid strategy.

      3. Idea that we can look at Trump's acts & not his words ignores the fact that as President his words aren't just words but also acts.

          any teenager knows retweets are great ways to spread the message. Imagine what trumps thinks when journalists of all people do it

          4. I'd argue its more broadly true that speech is never just speech but always a speech/act. But especially true of a POTUS.

          Reporters need stories. But allowing Trump to set the intellectual / ideological agenda can flip us easily into McCarthyism.
