The original tweet says nothing about bail reform--just pictures liberals releasing hundreds of "prisoners."

Unless there were previous or following tweets offering more context, that single tweet is clearly an invitation to jump to a conclusion about liberals and criminals and everyone's personal safety. Some who follow the NY news probably understood what he was referring to.

I get the impression you think that a president should 1) know more about the law and 2) not use his twitter account to disinform.

Not sure that is the majority view anymore. 

What would you say to someone who thinks that "we already know Trump" when he tweets stuff like this, the implication being this is no news, really. Do you think his rage/disinformation tweets should continue to be discussed/noted when they occur?  I can see why Trump supporters/defenders would like to see that stop, but is there a rational for continued reporting/discusssion of almost daily Trump bad behavior?

Or put another way, is there really a rationale for NOT reporting/discussing such behavior when it occurs on the ground that "he does it all the time" and "its old news"? A rationale which does not blame the messenger?   I lean towards continued monitoring . . . .
