The Washington Post (archive link) reports:
President Trump came to the defense of Sinclair Broadcast Group's proposed merger with Tribune Media, days after the Federal Communications Commission raised "serious concerns" about the deal and began legal proceedings to challenge it on grounds the companies had misled regulators.
Trump said Tuesday that it was "So sad and unfair" that the FCC, an independent agency, did not approve the merger, a $3.9 billion transaction that would create a conservative television giant that originally hoped to reach roughly 70 percent of U.S. households.
In his tweet, the president stressed how the deal would provide a "conservative voice for and of the People," though politics are not supposed to factor into merger considerations.
"Liberal Fake News NBC and Comcast gets approved, much bigger, but not Sinclair. Disgraceful!" the president tweeted.

I'd say that it 'cheapens' the presidency. Twitter is a platform that is designed to lack depth.
When a president posts something, you shouldn't have to wonder if they typed it up while taking a shit.

Why do you use the SJW pronoun "they"? The president is an individual, not a group, and always a male. The word you were looking for is "he".

Why did you get so triggered by the word "they"? Do you think there should be only one Approved Way to say everything?
Shakespeare used "they" in this way, so I don't know what you're sobbing about.

I thought the word he was looking for was "dumbass".
