Dem Rep: Trump needs ‘while not at all presidential’ in all his tweets

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) criticized President Trump for his use of Twitter on Saturday, saying that he should include a warning in front of each tweet saying, “not at all presidential.” 

“You know, he probably needs a ‘While not at all presidential’ macro for every tweet,” Swalwell tweeted after Trump used the phrase in a tweet criticizing liberal filmmaker Michael Moore.

Trump tweeted earlier Saturday: “While not at all presidential I must point out that the Sloppy Michael Moore Show on Broadway was a TOTAL BOMB and was forced to close. Sad!”

Moore’s one-man play “The Terms of My Surrender” generated a meager $4.3 million during its run on Broadway, far less than it was expected to make. 

The Academy Award-winning movie director, a frequent critic of the president, led the crowd from the opening night of his new show to Trump Tower in Manhattan in August to protest the president’s scattered comments on a violent white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Va. 

Swalwell previously criticized the president over his tweet sharing a gif depicting him hitting a golf ball that knocked over former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton while boarding a plane, calling the tweet “clASSy.”
