I'm fairly certain the President of the United States has a few more avenues available to reach his citizens than Twitter.

It's unfortunate that it may require more effort than just his thumbs, but I'm certain the title he holds at times calls for a bit more.

If the President wanted to do any of those things, he can use the @POTUS account.

And if the President wanted to escalate? Like he has been doing for 2 months now?

Also, he's currently the president of the united states. Was the president of the united states completely unable to communicate with the country before twitter?

The President had a chance to do that. He didn't, he won't. Trump is who he is and thinking that he will be someone else is a lesson in futility.
