Let’s hear about plans, not tweets

As we move closer to the 2020 election, it will become continuously important for the president to keep himself front and center in our news. That's where his genius lies. Expect more outrageous tweet storms.
Each insulting tweet will have to outdo the last one in order for the readers and viewers to stay interested and reactionary. I'm tired of the tweets that offend Americans, immigrants, cities, and rodents, but I'm more tired of the media using them as news. They no longer are. Nobody's shocked anymore.
I want to hear about plans to improve health care, our infrastructure, affordable higher education, and employment improvements for our hard working neighbors who don't live off their investments because they don't have any.
We have to stop eating this up if we want to be served something more substantial than cake.
