Show respect for Snoop. He owns Reddit. He's an important person.

how is snoop dogg's career failing? the guys been around since the early 90s and is still relevant today. if his career is failing why the fuck does trump care so much about his music video? what would happen if snoop shot a toy gun at a clown caricature of obama? why jail time? he's a mad man

Whether Snoop's career is failing or not is irrelevant. The only relevance is whether it is an insult that will piss Snoop off. Trump believed it was so it was the one he used. The same can be said about jail time except there the audience is less Snoop and more Trump fans who will eat up the tough rhetoric knowing all the while that it is just that and nothing more.
Trump has a very different style than we are used to with public figures. However, it is definitely well within the norms for certain people who enjoy success through a combination of unhinging their adversaries (making them less successful than they could be if calm) and always going to 11 up front (which gives opponents an incorrect metric of what the negotiation is actually about). Businessmen who do this can be abrasive and not fun to do deal with, but they are often highly successful.
Trump adds to this by often talking in a pastiche which cannot be taken literally. Indeed, he often says things that are contradictory and you have to stand back a bit to see the commonality and guess what his actual point is. It is the language equivalent to impressionistic painting.
I find his style fascinating to watch in its current political context.

Snoops becoming irrelevant.

I think it's hilarious how some of the media keep saying stuff like 'Trump should be concentrating on his agenda, rather than wasting time tweeting.' ... when he's done more in under two months than Obama did in his first term, if not both terms - LOL. Hell, there was even a story I read yesterday about how the Washington press corp was getting burned out, because Trump was like the Energizer Bunny and they weren't getting any time off.

All the noise about Trump not doing anything really puzzled me. I expect them not to respect my intelligence, but it sent a clear message that no only do they not respect my intelligence but they openly mock it.

Just imagine. Someday, all of Trump's Tweets will be collected and studied at his Presidential Library.
History-making shitposting. I LOVE it!
