This time the results are clear: America thinks Trump tweets too much
Donald Trump still has more than a month to go until he becomes president of the United States, but Americans already want him to stop tweeting.
In a new poll taken by Politico and Morning Consult, 56 percent of respondents said Trump tweets too much. Just five percent want him to tweet even more, and those people are surely sadists who simply want to watch the world burn.
In other words, the American public seems to agree with...everyone. Journalists would prefer Trump hold press conferences instead of firing off a few 140-character thoughts every so often. His own staff had to take away his tweeting privileges for part of the campaign, lest he set fire to another news cycle on a whim.

Even 37 percent of Trump-supporting respondents thinks the president-elect needs to spend less time on his favorite social media network.
For the most part, though, folks do want Trump to have a personal account, even if just by a slim margin -- 42 percent say "the president should have a Twitter account," while 39 percent don't think it's a good idea.
Perhaps those numbers will do a bit of flip-flopping over the next four-eight years.
