There is Watch Lamas Onlineno escape from Donald Trump's opinions.
As president, Trump has almost unlimited ways of communicating with the world, but on Wednesday he opted to pen an op-ed for USA Today. It's a highly partisan piece titled, "Democrats 'Medicare for All' plan will demolish promises to seniors."
Over the course of around 17 paragraphs, Trump bashes the Democrats for what he sees as wanting to"outlaw private health care plans" and take away "freedom to choose plans while letting anyone cross our border."
SEE ALSO: Trump's Presidential Alerts get turned into a blockbuster movie trailerHe explained his strong belief that the "Medicare for All," plan proposed by Bernie Sanders — which aims to provide health care to 28 million uninsured people, provide increased coverage for the 56 million people with Medicare, and more — is "dishonestly" named and would, in fact "eviscerate" Medicare.
"In practice, the Democratic Party’s so-called Medicare for All would really be Medicare for None. Under the Democrats' plan, today’s Medicare would be forced to die," Trump went on to write.
The president also claimed he's worked hard to protect protect coverage for "patients with pre-existing conditions," which he notoriously has not. In case you missed it, the link that's included with "pre-existing conditions" takes you to a Washington Postarticle that fact-checks his claim and finds it to be false. Whoopsie.
And before we move on, we should point out he went so far as to call members of the modern day Democratic party "radical socialists who want to model America’s economy after Venezuela." Chill!!!
So why did he opt for this particular method of communicating with the American people when he could, say, issue an official statement or even call a damn press conference? Unclear.
Upon seeing the president use such an unconventional method of communication — especially four weeks before midterms — many people were extremely perplexed. They were also outraged at USA Today, to say the least, and called the publication out for not fact-checking Trump's claims. According to the Washington Post, "almost every sentence contained a misleading statement or a falsehood."

It appears Trump pivoting to op-eds is truly not a campaign tactic the world is ready for.
UPDATE: Oct. 10, 2018, 6:48 p.m. EDT This article has been updated to include the fact that a link in the op-ed leads to an article which pointed out the president's claim was false as well as a link to the Washington Postwhich claims almost every sentence in Trump's op-ed included a misleading statement or falsehood.
