New Trump Question To Consider
Since presidential communication with the world via Twitter squalls is a relatively new ‘thing’…should campaigning on what is recognized as the president’s official account be allowed? I am sure there is nothing in campaign law that covers this yet. And the law hasn’t clearly been established on whether @realDonaldTrump is an official account or a personal account.
