need the MSM anymore. Most people don't get their news from the MSM anymore. Look at how often everyday citizens pull out their cell phones and take a video of a police situation, post it on youtube and end up changing the narrative of the story. The interent played a huge role in the Arab Spring.

Trump is obsessed with the need to be admired and respected. He fears humiliation. Well the people can make it pretty clear exactly what they think of him and his family. The Trump presidency could litterly die by the cuts of millions of tweets, youtube clips, FB posts, and so on. This is a guy that doesn't believe in national security briefings and stays up late at night tweeting about SNL or some former Miss Universe. It won't take much for the people to continue to make him look like the idiot he really is.
