It's important for any person that claims to represent the people to interact with them directly. I think this is one reason, among many, why Donald Trump has made an interesting decision. For the first time in history, you can tweet at the President, and the President tweets back.
I'm considering making a new campaign promise:
I will be the first President of the United States of America to post on the #Fediverse. I will also ensure that a new grant for innovators in #socialmedia can be established through executive action. With the Freedom Dividend, I hope many open source developers can come out of the woodwork and contribute to #opensource projects like #Mastodon and #Gab 24/7.

Don't you just love it when politicians come to you and say, "If you vote for me, I will give you money."
It's not at all like trying to bribe people with money taken from other people's pockets.
@jlcrawf Wall St has been robbing the American people for years by evading taxation, outsourcing labor, and keeping wages low. Now as we face the looming threat of automation, we need to rethink many basic assumptions of how economies should function. My value-added tax is a very modest proposal that takes that money back from the big corporations and puts it back in the hands of the American people.
I'm not taking money out of your pocket. I'm putting money into it. An extra $1000 / month, every month, forever. No strings attached.

Number 3: America has been the leader of the free world for years. We have a very vibrant economy that is currently looking up. The last thing that I want is some politician that thinks he knows better than everyone else to "re-think the economy." Especially when the plan is to model it after a system that has never worked.
