Wow, that sounds bad. Rage tweeting. Should we be frightened? There is no question that the president often vents on Twitter to his 60 million followers. He uses social media to get his message out and to attack his opponents. He does this because Twitter offers immediate gratification to President Trump, and he knows that it is him against the media world. He would not be able to quickly get his point of view out any other way. Now, like many Americans, I am a bit skeptical of Mr. Trump's overuse of Twitter. Sometimes he does damage to himself and to the country by

misstating things or by using personal attacks. But I understand the president's frustration. It is not pleasant to be battered every hour on the hour by a hostile media, and he is actively promoting his opposition to what is happening. Outlusts like the Huffington Post are part of the that generally despises the president. And you never see anything about rage tweeting when the Trump haters do it. Nope, that's fine and legitimate, no matter how much rage is involved in denigrating President Trump. Other presidents had oppositional challenges as well, most notably Abraham Lincoln, John Adams, FDR, Harry Truman, and of course Richard Nixon. But they had no immediate way to defend themselves.

Lincoln got it the worst, obviously, because of the Civil War. The hatred toward him resulted in his assassination at the hands of Confederate sympathizer, John Wilkes Booth. Now, John Adams was a very interesting story. He and Thomas Jefferson despised each other, and many newspapers at the time supported Jefferson, attacking John Adams for everything, think. So Adams, when he became the second president, after George Washington, passed the Alien and Sedition Acts, four separate laws in 1798, that put a clamp on dissent. In fact,

John Adams criminalized, quote, false statements critical of the federal government, unquote, and the feds threw some pro-Jefferson newspaper owners in prison. Now, the Alien and Sedition Acts expired in 1801, all but one of them, which is still on the books, by the way. And the Federalist Party, that's the party of John Adams, continued to crack down on dissent, kind of curtailing the First Amendment. I'm sure if Donald Trump had the power to do what John Adams did, he might consider it. The thing about Donald Trump is that he was not expecting this kind of invective against him by the nation's media. And when it hit, he used the closest convenience, which is

his handheld machine. Twitter. In the day, he has people advising him, but in the morning when he gets up, the tweets are all Donald Trump. Rage, you make the call. For more honest, commentary.

As many of you know, social media is doing a significant amount of damage to Americans across the country, particularly young people who simply aren't equipped to handle the onslaught of information or peer pressure. But here's something you might not know. It's not just kids bearing the brunt of these intense influences. Recent studies are now highlighting the negative impact of social

media on adults. More than 45% of American adults now say they find it difficult to make new friends. Most haven't made a friend in more than five years. According to recently released data, popularity in the modern era, peaks at age 23, with 42 percent of Americans blaming shyness and introversion as their primary struggle in forging new friendships. The number of adults actually socializing restaurants, bars, sporting events is plummeting. Perhaps because of the net, 33% of adults say they feel alone, 29% say they no longer have the time to make new friends. More than 68% of American adults living in the USA use Facebook on a daily basis. 73% use YouTube.

Recent studies show a direct correlation between the use of social media and depression, anxiety, and low. loneliness among all age groups. It's easy to imagine the harmful effects of social media on Americans' youth as they struggle to make friends mature or succeed in an increasingly competitive environment. But it's also important to understand the platform's negative impact on adults. Finally, it's no surprise. The suicide rate in America is up 24% from the late 1990s. In 97, just 18% of households use the net. 20 years later, that figure is now over 90%. Of course, the new technologies of many benefits.

Average folks can now be heard by millions of their fellow citizens on a number of critical issues. But it all comes at a cost, doesn't it? Right back.
