I would argue a definite yes, but less frequently. I don't like that Twitter is currently being used by the orange clown to basically demagogue and play with the world. But I think a President using Twitter (or some other direct and immediate form of communication) is an important innovation going forward and reluctantly credit Trump for breaking the ice on it.

I don't have a problem with a president tweeting - as long as the tweets are giving information, updates, things to do with what a real president does. No more of this shit of giving people stupid names, insulting random folk, and being a trumpian asshole.
I hope I live long enough to see that.

Rump uses it as a megaphone to egg on his brain-dead, drooling worshipers. Nothing more.
