    And, experts say, if he were to look for a job, these and past crude tweets would raise red flags for companies doing social media background checks. Such checks are an increasingly common practice as tweets and Facebook posts become a daily, sometimes hourly part of our lives.

    Of course, Trump is anything but typical. Still, experts say it’s a mistake to think that because the president is getting away with sending out crude tweets that a regular person would. There are plenty of examples online of people getting fired for such conduct.

    For the 48% of Americans who voted for Trumpie, they wanted a ‘fighter’, someone who could take on China, N. Korea, maybe even dictator Pootin. Did they want Trumpie to fight w talk show hosts? He has no dignity, no maturity, no self control. How awful that he represents us overseas. Feh.

    The President has many problems with firing people. First off, it is impossible to fire his children and in-laws. For better or worse, he is stuck with them. As for other positions, he seems to have very few people to choose from. Still, months into his administration, many important slots are unfilled. If he fires people, who will replace them?
