This is a man who wants to retrofit the carrier fleet to use steam powered catapults because he found all the computers confusing[0]. You think anyone would even bother trying to explain any of that to him? He uses Twitter because it's the only thing he's comfortable with.

Which puts the onus on the Whitehouse IT department to produce a UX that is seamless enough for even Trump to transition to.

Our EM aircraft catapults are crap right now, although this is due more to "concurrent development" than an inherent failure of the concept. Trump seems to intuitively grasp certain problems (China = Public Enemy #1, lax border security, etc...) but then draws really odd conclusions on how to solve them, and doubles down with the most retarded cringe-worthy rhetoric imaginable.
