Letter: Trump does not need advice

President-Elect Donald Trump's nightly tweeting appears to have stirred up fascination around the world. It must leave people agog that Trump can late into the wee hours keep coming up with a broad range of presidential policy tidbits.
If Trump were to bother consulting policy experts he thought might be interesting to hear from, would they first be expected to read Trump's tweets the morning after the night he posted them to find out what it was they had better have told him if he had bothered to ask in the first place?
Obviously Trump won't need advice on little things like launching his own globe-engulfing nuclear holocaust, but maybe he will want to bounce some ideas on show business off someone - like sort of a test audience?
