Chipotle Scandal
Isaac Wooten
Throughout the quarter, we have been exploring the decisions that we make when it comes to what we post online as well as analyzing the decisions of others.
For this assignment, please find a story about an individual's use of social media (it can be a positive or negative use) and explain the story and the effects that this choice had on the individual's life or the life of others. Also, please explain how Immediacy, Permanence and Lack of Control played into the story and give the individual advice for their online life.
You will then write a blog post containing the information above and a link to at least one article about the story.

1. The former-Chipotle employee who dissed his wages in a tweet, got fired, sued Chipotle and won.
Last year, 38-year-old war veteran James Kennedy took to Twitter to complain about the low wages Chipotle paid to its crew members following a free food promotion.
His tweet read: "@ChipotleTweets, nothing is free, only cheap #labor. Crew members make only $8.50hr how much is that steak bowl really?"
Kennedy later deleted his tweet after a supervisor showed him the company's social-media policy, which states that an employee cannot make "disparaging, false" statements about Chipotle publicly. Following another incident involving his asking for shift breaks, he was let go.
However, the buck didn't stop there. Kennedy took Chipotle to court for his wrongful termination -- and won.
The court found in favor of Kennedy and stated that Chipotle's social-media policy violated federal labor laws and ordered the casual dining restaurant chain to rehire Kennedy and pay him lost wages. The court-case victor, who now has a job with American Airlines and has no plans returning to Chipotle, says that he will accept his lost wages in the form of Chipotle food vouchers. (Now that's customer loyalty.)
In this story Chipotle worker said some not mean things but he said some things about the Chipotle payment. He posted,"@ChipotleTweets, nothing is free, only cheap #labor. Crew members make only $8.50hr how much is that steak bowl really? The employee later deleted the tweet after a supervisor showed him the social media company policy. Following another incident involving his asking for shift breaks, he was let go. Kennedy took Chipotle let to court and sued them for wrongfully terminating him. Luckily the court was in favor of Mister James Kennedy and stated,K Chipotle's social-media policy violated federal labor laws and ordered the casual dining restaurant chain to rehire Kennedy and pay him lost wages. After that situation James Kennedy no longer has a job at Chipotle but now has This show sign of just about all three categories (Immediacy, Permanence and Lack of Control), mostly shows Immediacy because in the article unknowingly he posted a tweet about the restaurant and was not thinking about the consequences that might actually occur. Once informed he immediately deleted the tweet. Once on the internet it is never really gone because it leave residue when deleted, where you can always find it. I tell you that because it shows Permanence and how nothing is completely 100% deleted from the internet. It was Lack of control because once it happen he had no idea it would turn out this well. He basically got paid all the wages he was owed, won the court against Chipotle and got a great paying job at American Airlines. All three thing can either really help someone out in life on the internet or really punish somebody one the internet.

Digital Portfolio
In completing this Digital Portfolio I had hoped that I would have created an easily accessible, professional platform in which I could represent myself to the world. This is precisely what I have achieved. In order to build a successful website, I first had to choose the best website creator for me. My Weebly website showcases all the necessary features. The process of creation for my website consisted of, using the elements available and writing brief explanations about myself and my work. An obstacle I encountered in completing my project was having to switch websites in the middle of the project.The Wordpress format wasn’t working for me. But that was easily resolved. One thing I have learned was how to write a resume. One thing I learned about myself was that I have an abundance of photos, none of them seem to be professional though. If I were to do this again, I would probably make sure I took better photos and spent time gathering information on myself to see what it is I did because I feel that my resume lacks substance. That would have to be my advice to others completing this project. Find substance. It’s hard to create a website if you have nothing to put on it. This project inspired me to complete more projects so I can put them in my website. I feel as if in this project, the message dictated the medium. A website was the best way that I could express myself and have it so that it is easily accessible to the world.
Think Before You Post .
In 2013 a 30 year old woman decided to tweet before an 11 hour plane ride to South Africa. She decided to tweet things such as, ‘Going to Africa. Hope I don’t get AIDS. Just kidding. I'm white!’ and, ‘Weird German Dude: You’re in First Class. It’s 2014. Get some deodorant.’ — Inner monologue as I inhale BO. Thank God for pharmaceuticals.’ Stupidly enough she decided to leave them up during the plane ride not thinking anything of it. That quickly changed once she arrived and saw what she had just started.
What comes with saying such disrespectful tweets come what some can say the best thing in the world, but in this situation it’s the worst, trending number 1 on Twitter. What comes with that are millions of other tweets commenting back to what she had to say. Many finding it all terrible saying stuff like,“How did @JustineSacco get a PR job?! Her level of racist ignorance belongs on Fox News. #AIDS can affect anyone!”. Some finding it funny such as one person saying, Oh man, @JustineSacco is going to have the most painful phone-turning-on moment ever when her plane lands” . Another tweet was from her work. An employee tweeted, “I’m an IAC employee and I don’t want @JustineSacco doing any communications on our behalf ever again. Ever.” And Justine’s the senior director of corporate communications at IAC so that only made it worse for herself. Workers at her jobs threatened to strike any hotel she’d book if she attended. Not only did she bring shame to herself and her career but the family she was visiting also was affected by it. Being that they were National Congress Supporters and longtime activists for racial equality they were disgraced by what he had said. Her aunt said to her, “I’m an IAC employee and I don’t want @JustineSacco doing any communications on our behalf ever again. Ever.”. So without them she lacked the emotional support she needed in that time.
Permanence
In the situation the Permanence is how no matter if she deleted the tweets and comments (which she did) it was too late. Her leaving it up for hours also doesn’t help either because many have read it so they already know and have probably shared it to others. Like any person knows, once it’s on the internet it stays on the internet permanently especially if it’s something so bold and dumb like what she did.
Just like permanence she lost total control on the situation by not realizing how offensive she was being and not deleting it. Now she has no option but to face that anyone can see it and judge her just by what she posted.
Immediacy
Being No. 1 trending on Twitter brought a lot of power to what she had stated causing more talk and attention to herself.
What I would’ve said to her for advice would be to think before you post. It seems that simple but honestly once you write something out there, even if it was a joke to you can cause a lot of unwanted attention. Once you put it out there thousands of different people with different opinions, cultures, beliefs etc. look at you no matter if you wanted them to or not, I would urge to, even if it’s positive to just stay out of the spotlight when it comes to social media because wrong or right someone will twist your words.
Kim Kardashian Paris Robbery
Reality TV star Kim Kardashian was recently robbed at her hotel in Paris. Sources say five men dressed as police officers showed up to her hotel in Paris at 2:00 in the morning. She was held up at gunpoint. The men allegedly covered her mouth with duct tape, tied her hands and feet together and threw her in the bathtub. According to Kim’s accusations the men only spoke french. The suspects ended up getting away with 11 million dollars worth of jewelry including a 4 million dollar ring Kim’s husband had just bought her. Shortly after the robbery police checked nearby security cameras which showed the men fleeing the scene. Three men were on bicycles while the other two were on foot. A lot of people are blaming the robbery on Kim because she is constantly over sharing information on social media. Kim flaunted her ring and jewelry on Snapchat. Kim is also constantly posting her location on social media. In fact hours before the robbery Kim posted a video showing her ring and that she was alone in her hotel room. Kim’s decisions to constantly overshare on social media has obviously landed her in a messy situation. Since the robbery Kim hasn’t been active on social media. Kim’s family says that,” It’s incredibly traumatic what happened to her, but our family is super close and great and we’ll get through it together “. Lack of control played a part in this story because once Kim posted her location and flaunted her jewelry to her 84 million followers it was up for anybody to see. Anybody could use the pictures, videos , and information any they wanted too. As soon as Kim pressed the post button she immediately lost control of it. Sadly lack of control ended her up in a traumatic situation. Permanence plays a role in Kim’s story because anything that she post is permanently in the public eye and up for anybody to view. Even if Kim were to delete a picture or video it’s likely that somebody took a screenshot or saved it to their phone somehow. Immediacy also plays a role in Kim’s story because as soon as she posted it anybody could immediately do whatever that wanted with it or put it wherever they wanted to. Permanence, Lack of control, and immediacy all played a role in Kim’s story. Her situation could have been easily avoided if she didn’t overshare on social media.

Cole Rooney: Think before you post
On August 3, 2013 a girl from Lutterworth, Leicestershire, England named Hannah Smith, was found dead in her room by her older sister. Weeks ‘].before her death she was said to be being cyber bullied on the internet. People were telling her to drink bleach and cut herself. Days after she died her older sister was getting hate on facebook making fun of Hannah Smith’s death and also blamed her dad for bad parenting.
This had a bad effect on Hannah’s family because they were grieving over her and received a lot of hate. Immediacy played when they kept telling her to cut herself and drink bleach all the time. Lack of control is when her family was still getting hate after she died.
Instead of taking what people say on the internet to heart she could ignore it. Another thing she could do would be to talk to someone about. Lastly, she should’ve avoided asking questions to random people on the internet because people often tell others very horrific things over the internet. For example, kill yourself, or drink bleach. Statements like this have been directed at me before but I never take it to heart because I know that is to be expected of the internet.
Eye color wheel
I created an eye. I had an unrealistic animated style eye though. I chose to do an eye because it was more than just a circle. I could be creative and that’s why I didn’t make a normal realistic “boring” eye. My vision for the picture was to have fun and be different. I know other people did eyes but I feel as though my eye was different. I don’t know how the audience will react.
This relates to my previous work because when I draw a person they have to have eyes. I always wanted to draws eyes like the one I drew but it seemed difficult to get the proper angle I wanted. This time I just drew it and it came out how I wanted. I don’t know what contemporary art is. My work doesn’t really fit in with the history of the art we did in class. We never really drew eyes or anything related to humans. An inspiration for my eye is when I looked up cool eyes and a character from a show popped up. I’ve been influenced by a lot of cartoonists. I really liked drawing and when I was younger I drew my favorite cartoon characters. I didn’t learn a new technique but I did learn how to draw a cool eye.
So overall I created my eye because it was interesting and unique. I was influenced kinda but it was all mostly my thought. I like the way it cam out but I don’t like the colors when I painted it.
Think Before You Post
Anorexia is promoted through the Internet.
There are so many outlets for young insecure teens to be exposed to the dark world of anorexia and pedophiles wanting to prey on them. There are “pro-ana” (pro-anorexia) and “pro-mia” (pro-bulimia) websites and social media pages. Pages post “thinspo”, or thinspiration, which are pictures of extremely thin bodies. They post comments saying they could look like those pictures if they try hard enough. They even have adults that would coach them.
Pedophiles are luring young teens on pro-ana websites to target vulnerable teenage girls. The pedophiles acts as a coaches saying they can help them achieve their goal. They tell the teens they need photos of them naked so they can “coach” and encourage them to get thinner. At this point in their lives, the children are most vulnerable and will do whatever to achieve their goal weight. It is relatively easy to catch one of these predators on Whatsapp, Facebook, or Kik which makes it so alarming seeing they are so common.
Regular men are even taking advantage. There is a blog post titled “5 Reasons To Date A Girl With An Eating Disorder.” This is one of the most disturbing things about this subject. Men are celebrating these deadly disorders for their own enjoyment.
Immediacy:
Some of these girls and boys are around the ages of 8-12. They aren't old enough to take an advil and these people are taking advantage of this vulnerability of being so young. The exposure is alarming. Any child any age can see these websites and profile pages.
Permanence:
Some young girls leave their information on these websites. If they decide to recover and not live this lifestyle they most likely forget they left all that information out for the public. Any could find them if they left any true information.
Lack of Control:
Most of these conversations happen on temporary accounts that make things hard to track back to a person. This makes it easier for the people trying to mess with these teens to seem untrackable. If they post pictures of these girls on pornographic websites it’s harder for them to be prosecuted.
The world of promoting eating disorders is so large and so unknown. There’s so many girl and boys of all ages on these websites and no one really knows about it because people don’t really search these things. It’s not hard to find, so why isn’t anyone taking care of these sad, depressed, and hurt teens that need help?

Donald Trump Tweets
Khaila Sundiyata
11-1-16
Donald Trump’s twitter wars affected him in a negative way because now people feel as though he is not mature enough to have the title as the president of the United States. He has offended people over and over again and has not handled the situation like a presidential candidate. A man like donald trump acts on impulse. Sometimes when he sent those twitter posts, he was acting because he was angry and was not thinking right. He also has tried to take back some of these comments. Permanence played into this because he can never take those posts down and people will remember them for a long time. Lack of control applied to Donald Trump's twitter account because people shared his posts over and over again until they became huge topics in news. This had a big effect on Donald Trump's campaign because his rude and ignorant comments had big impacts on his campaign and is probably going to lead to his loss.
Death In A Chimney
Woman Trapped in lovers chimney 10/ 28/16
Nya y. Hardin
On the date of August 31, 2010, A young woman by the name of Jacquelyn Kotarac was found dead in an attic of a house. At first reporters said it to be just a crazy woman invading a random house. Surprisingly, as the full story revealed over time, people found out that this was no other house than her online partner from a dating site.
Other than the fact that Ms. Jacquelyn Kotarac and her lover were in her partner’s house arguing, there was no specific article that defined the time of day or what exactly happened in that house during the day of her death. Although reporters were able to get a word out of her meant to be online partner William Moodie with the age of 58. In the article, Mr. Moodie had earlier left his own house saying that he was trying to escape from a confrontation between the both of them. This confrontation could have happened online or in person. Asked what this particular argument was specifically about, William refused to answer. On the side of that, he stated “ She made an unbelievable error in judgement and nobody understands why.” He also mentioned that their relationship was always on and off again. Becoming overwhelmed with questions, Mr. Moodie lastly stated “ She had her issues- she had her demons - but i never lost my respect for her.”
Three days after the argument, Jacquelyn Kotarac ’s body was found in Williams chimney on a saturday. The housekeeper of Mr. Moodie’s house claimed to have smelled something foul and had witnessed a strange fluid coming from the chimney. Noticing this, she had decided to call her son to help her check it out. Doing so was how they eventually found the body. Once having her body rescued from the chimney, Ms. Jacquelyn was sadly pronounced dead at the age of 48 on that same day leaving the public still stuffed with questions.

It all started when a math teacher (Carly McKinney) photos were posted to a twitter account. Her name was Carly McKinney, her twitter page which was created by her friend which included inappropriate photos involved with drugs, and nudity. One of her posts read “Naked. Wet. Stoned.” while another read, “Watching a drug bust go down in the parking lot. It's funny cuz I have weed in my car in the staff parking lot.” Her twitter account consisted of all of half-nude photos. She said that her partner was the one posting all the offending tweets.
Her tweets not only got her fired from her job, but it also affected her life significantly. For example if her students found the photos/tweets of her she would be in huge trouble! She would lose her job and be investigated because of her tweet saying that she was smoking marijuana on school property, but eventually 9NEWS found the tweets and it all went from there. She made her account private instantly.
Lack of control: Everything in this situation was very wrong..but there were some parts that was her fault for going out of control. She told NEWS9 that while taking the pictures she never knew they would get out on social media. And they eventually got out there, she said that she regret taking the pictures, it’s too late now.
Permanence: After being discovered she quickly tried to private her account to save herself from trouble, but it didn’t help. When something is out there in the internet, it is out there forever. Anyone can quickly take a screenshot or make a copy, she did not think about the consequences before taking the pictures.
Immediately: After the pictures and tweets were posted, it was found out immediately, and the news spread like wildfire. At that moment she knew she made a mistake and the backlash was too fast for her to control.
If I were to give her some advice, I would suggest her to not destroy her online reputation with a couple inappropriate pictures. I would also suggest to act more like you are close to your students. Furthermore, I would tell her to act like if her online life was connected to life. I would tell her that her mistakes online can bring consequences on her future.

Creepy Clowns
In different parts in the United States clown threats/sightings have been recently the main story in local news.The clowns have been creating fake social media accounts getting others attention of threatening them of coming to their schools and lots of reports against the clowns been reported.The past week a 13 year-old girl in the Philadelphia area was identified on her social media account of how she made clown threats as a prank but not to harm others,she referred.On Monday,in Virginia a 13 year old was legally arrested of socializing with a clown on social media to kill her teacher.Also,in Texas a 14 year-old was charged for making threats on social media to others.Recently,the police been working on the clown threats by having more security for each school that listed as a threat on the clown pages and tracking down the sightings that was reported.Schools in Connecticut decided to ban all clown costumes or anything that brings terror/threats towards the school for Halloween. Meanwhile,police are still investigating the case upon the clowns.
Based on the clown threats and sightings the clowns are creating terror for others.Resulting to the terror schools are being very strict on how kids dress for Halloween and coming to school.Many parents are creating plans on going out for Halloween and how to avoid encountering a clown.Immediacy played a role in the clown threats and sightings of lots of people getting influenced by the real clowns and following their path that really wasn’t great.Permanence played a role of how the people that are dressing up in the clown costumes permanent records will include their actions of creating a bad affect on the world by how they terrorized lots of people with their threats and encounters on people.Lack of Control played a role of the clowns continuing to terrorize people and not having control to stop,of seeing how many issues they created already.
My advice for the Creepy Clowns is to end the harassing and threats towards others.By ending this others won’t have an problems going places and being worried about clowns being near them.Another solution for the clowns is turning their self into the police and just be off the streets, so no more issues are reported.

Justine who are 14 and she was battling cancer.When she was told her cancer went into admission she had felt like all her problems was behind her.Later,justine started to receive threatening E-mails and they were random.Once her parents had found out they had called the police immediately and the police traced to justine’s “best friend” as a joke.Later that girl was sentenced to counseling and to write justine an apology letter.From this I can say this was a negative story but we can learn from this experience to never cyber bully nobody even if that is your bestfriend or she is your family member.
Teen kills herself after being shamed in and online video taken by dad
Gilbert Just Gottfried
The comedian Gilbert Gottfried was fired from his job as the voice behind the Aflac duck. He was fired because of his recent comments on twitter teasing the Japan from on the tsunami and earthquake that hit them. Although he thought of it as a joke, many people thought of his tweets being rude and immature, including the business he works for. When the Aflac business found out, they quickly fired him. They thought as if his jokes he made were completely abrupt and practically embarrassed the company mainly because his thoughts would be traced to theirs also since he represent their business. Lack of control from Gilbert played a terrific part in him doing this because there was no reason those jokes should’ve been blurted out to the public, especially if he knew they would be offensive. After he was caught tweeting his comments, he told the public how sorry he was and how his mouth will always get him in trouble. He saw this as a huge mistake and I am sure this will be a mark in his life for a while.

Jessica Logan,an 18 year old senior from Sycamore High school sent nudes to her boyfriend,but the photos were sent to hundreds of teenagers in at least seven Cincinnati area schools after they broke up.The bullying continued throughout all types of social media such as myspace facebook and text messaging. She then committed suicide by hanging herself after attending the funeral of another kid who had recently committed suicide.
Lack of control is theme of the story because as soon as she sended those nude explicit pictures to her boyfriend she had no control over what he did with them,whether or not he sent them to others or anything else she had no control over what he could or would do with those images.She should have thought more deeply about who she sent her personal photos to or who she could trust with those photos.

Cisco Fatty Incident
The Story of Daisy Coleman
Aaliyah Payne
South Stream
11/3
On January 7, 2012, a not so typical Saturday, Daisy Coleman, 14, had spent her night with her best friend, Paige. Usually, the girls played music, made dance videos and watched movies. But, their night went downhill when they began drinking from a hidden stash of alcohol. Daisy began texting her brothers friend, Matty Barnett, the defensive end for Maryville High School’s vaunted football team and a member of an important Maryville family. “Around 1 a.m., the teens slipped out a bedroom window and were met by Barnett and another boy, who drove them three miles to the Barnett house.” Before leaving the house, both girls were drunk. Daisy and Paige arrived to the house sneaking through the basement window they found themselves surrounded by the most popular boys at their school, Maryville High. “In addition to Barnett, there was junior Jordan Zech, a top wrestler and all-state linebacker; a senior football and tennis player whose family owned the popular A Restaurant; a third junior football player; and a 15-year-old who knew the group through an older sibling.” A younger friend of Matty B. took Paige, into a room as soon as they arrived. Meanwhile, they challenged Daisy to drink out of the “bitch cup”, which equalled to about 11-12 shots. Daisy has no memory of what happened after drinking from the cup. They told Paige to be quiet and sit on the couch while all the boys took Daisy into a bedroom. When they were finished they dragged Daisy to the car to take her and Paige home.
The next morning Daisy’s mom found her laying on the front yard with her hair frozen to the grass wearing nothing but a tank-top and sweatpants. Daisy’s mother took her into the bathroom to clean and warm her up and recognized redness in her thigh and groin areas; she began to suspect sexual assault. Daisy and Paige went to the hospital, reporting sexual assault and getting a rape kit. Daisy’s alcohol level was 0.13. All the boys were rounded up at the sheriff’s office for questioning. Matty B. was arrested and charged with sexual assault, a felony, and endangering the welfare of a child, a misdemeanor. From the boys confessions, investigators learned the encounters were captured on a phone. This lead to Zech’s,17, felony charge of sexual exploitation of a minor. “Records show that after initially declining to answer questions, Zech said he had used a friend’s phone to record some of the encounter. He said, however, that he thought Barnett and the girl were only “dry humping,” a term commonly used to describe rubbing together clothed. Another teen, however, told police the video featured both Barnett and Daisy with their pants down.” There was then a warrant to search the Bernett's basement, they found blanket, bed sheets, a pair of panties found on a bedroom floor, a bottle of Bacardi Big Apple and plastic bottles of unidentified liquids and 3 phones including the one Zech recorded the video on.
Threats from the accused boys began sparking up conversations, one of the boys posted “I hope she gets what’s comin’ ”on his twitter accounts. “ “She would come to the sheriff’s office on an almost daily basis,” says White of the days following the arrests. “And I would sit down with her and try to answer her questions and explain to her what was going on. And the next day she’d show up, and we’d go through the same thing again.” says Sheriff White. Members of the community turned on the family, and Daisy suffered an onslaught of threats and vitriol both in person but, mostly on social media. She attempted suicide three times. THe family left town and their house was burned down while uo for sale. “In 2014, the man who raped Daisy pled guilty to a misdemeanor child endangerment charge. But mentally and emotionally, the incident still enveloped Daisy.”
The video of Daisy’s sexual assault wasn’t shown online but the negative comments and threats from her community was posted online. Lack of Control affected the situation the most because Daisy had no control over who would see the video or who would comment their opinions online. Though the video wasn’t posted to social media, the media caused the community to become enraged quicker and spreaded Daisy’s personal information. The good to the situation permanency it affected her but in a good way! Daisy now is able to tell her story and aid in stopping sexual assault victims from committing suicide.

Cyber Bullying Stories: Ashley’s New Website, Unknown to Her
This story was about a girl who just started using social media. She posted pictures on social media and another student took those pictures and made a fake account about her personal information and more. It affected her life because she started losing friends although the damage could have been way worse. This was simply caused because another child had spare time on their hands and got caught up in social media.
Lack of control played a major role in this because Ashley had no control over what the other student did. She never knew she would end up in a situation like this. Permanence played a role in this situation because the account she made was permanent and also it was public. Immediacy caused everything to be posted in a rapid amount of time without her knowing anything.
My advice to Ashley is just remain calm in this situation because you are innocent. As a person who had this happen to me is don't try to convince people who are just making the situation worse that it's not you. The best thing to do is just get the cops involved because they can trace it back to whoever did this with an instint second. So just remain calm and stay away from the people who are trying to make it worse and let a teacher know if it gets that bad!
Donald Trumps tweets
While searching for a topic to focus on, I came across Donald Trump's tweets. I looked over his twitter page and mostly found rude tweets that mostly involved politicians, like President Obama and Secretary Clinton. Some tweets talked about how President Obama unfit for President and other tweets involved Trump talking about how Barack Obama is not born in America. Other tweets offended Hillary Clinton. The type of tweets I focused on were the ones that involved him talking about President Obama's birth certificate . I used Google and searched up Trumps Twitter Archive.com and I scrolled down to tweets on President Barack Obama. I looked over all of the tweets that were listed there and most of them talked about how President Obama was not born in the U.S because Trump thinks that he was born in Kenya . An example of one of his tweets was “Let's take a closer look at that birth certificate. @Barack Obama was described in 2003 as being "born in Kenya.” This tweet impacted him since he pursued with this lie and most of his supporters know that President Barack Obama is from Honolulu, Hawaii. His supporters might have noticed later on that, since that is a lie he told to people, and he believes in it so strongly, that maybe that isn't the only lie he made up,so he lost supporters due to this fact. Since Donald Trump is famous, all three things, Immediacy, Lack of control and Permanence, affected him in a bad way. Immediacy affects him because once he hits the post button, millions of people can see what he just thought of, or how he is feeling at the time. Lack of control affects him because now people can screenshot his tweet and repost it to spread rumors how he is not a good candidate. Permanence affects him because now, you could search up ¨Donald Trump rude Obama tweets” and millions of pages would come up due to the lack of control. I would tell Donald to keep his unnecessary tweets to himself because they can not be backed up with sufficient information and because thats rude.
