Trumps tweets often before he thinks, but I don't think we should impeach him for it. Perhaps a guiding tool such as censure could be more beneficial that trying to remove him; unless you fell 45 days on the job is sufficient to show no improvement can be made. Hell, I know around here we give them 90 and they have to do more than say stupid things.  

I don't know if Jong-un tweets. But the instability (eccentric behavior) is similar. I thought you were asking for examples of tweeters in that last post.

The president's job is different from other kinds of jobs. "Stupid things" said by a president can drop the stock market, cause wars, generate social anxiety and social unrest, send people to their deaths. 

We were told Trump would be different after he won the primary. A "pivot" to presidential demeanor would come. We were told to expect a change after the election, then we were told after he took office, the responsibility would shape him up.

Reporters were hopeful after his "successful" speech before Congress--then came the crazy tweet accusing the former president of a felony, followed by a refusal to provide any evidence.

He is the president--he can call his own AG, the head of the CIA and the House and Senate Intel committees to determine how and when this occurred if it did. Instead he seems to go with Breitbart.   

No "censure" is going to work. He is unstable, not someone who is going to grow into his job. He cannot properly vet intel, distinguish reliable sources from conspiracy theory. He has "frozen" the State Department, and chaos is spreading outward to other departments--and he is in charge of the world's largest military.

Many people, including Republicans, can see this. 45 days, 90 days, 6 months--the "mistakes" will continue as chaos permeates and immobilizes the executive branch.
