It could also be tragically dangerous, I'm sure he's gone mad, he wouldn't tweet business deals before they were certain so why is he tweeting minutiae about governing ?

Is a president who can only think in 141 character chunks ever going to be anything but a disaster?

Good point but I remember thinking the cowboy actor Reagan was going to be dreadful and he allowed others to help him and ended up doing pretty well.

He has undermined John Kerry again after his speech about middle east.
A few hours before the speech, Trump sent a message of support to Israel, telling the Jewish state to "stay strong" until Jan. 20 when he takes office.

And Reagan had some acting talent so managed to look and sound the part with relative ease most of the time. Trump looks and sounds what he is.

his staff has indicated that taking to Twitter to air his concerns or, often, grievances, won't end once he enters the Oval Office.
Might some reveal more than they intend to in a moment of pique.
