A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calls for blows. A fools mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul. The words of a talebearer (gossip or slanderer) are like wounds, and they go down into the inmost body. Proverbs 18:6-8

Social media has caused us to speak out what we normally would not say, for fear of reprisal and has caused much contention. I hate to use your President as an example but this proverb describes how he is destroying whatever good he has or will do by the words of his mouth!
Calling people names and slandering people without cause has discredited him so much that the world counts him as a fool and his allies don't know what to believe! Twitter is not the place to lead a nation by spewing out derogatory insults, whether they are friend or foe, and most of what he says is simply not true.
Death and life are in the power of the tongue and what we speak or "Tweet" should be reserved for wisdom and knowledge that will exhort and edify those to whom we speak! Remember, even a fool when silent is counted wise!
So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak and slow to wrath; for the wrath (anger) of man does not produce the righteousness of God. James 1:19,20

NOTE: Pray for Trump because even though he might change some things in government and do some good, the words of his mouth will defeat him in the next election allowing the liberal agenda back in!
