President-elect Donald Trump declared in an interview released late Tuesday that he dislikes tweeting and uses Twitter as a defense against media. “Look, I don’t like tweeting,” Trump insisted during a Fox News interview scheduled to air Wednesday. "I have other things I could be doing.” “But I get very dishonest media, very dishonest press. And it’s my only way that I can counteract. When people make misstatements about me, I’m able to say it and call it out.”

Youtube videos are at the mercy of its moderators and owners.
After 20JAN17, nothing will prevent him posting videos on whitehouse dot gov
Once you’rein office, Donald, try the Reagan method — sit behind the desk, on camera, and talk to us.
Videos,,,,
Take a lot of Data though.
I don’t do TV.
Reagan did very well in talking directly to the people. He was able to go around the media filter .
Remember when Reagan was president, there was no twitter, no internet, and talk radio as we know it today, barely existed.
I hear you, Mr. President. I don’t even own a cell phone. Tweet? Not happening. But you have to admit, your tweets will be seen by far more viewers than anything corrupt media outlets can offer.
Suggest that to the Trump folks

What’s really funny is to Trump, there is no option called “just ignore” or “don’t dignify with a response”. Some one hits you, you hit back. Someone lies, you correct the record.
Absolutely refreshing!
Video is a whole production though, with the hair and everything.
Tweets can be made fast and read fast.
Yep.
Like they arent already working for the roll out. But the MSM isnt asking about it so no one in the country could possibly imagine that its happening.
Its gonna be YUGE !!
The only problem with TV is the entire MSM slice, dice, and spin democrat propaganda machine.
Every single word that President Trump speaks will be twisted into some leftist socialist told ya so screed.
Twitter and youtube will work just fine.
Deny the enemy their high ground.
YT videos = bandwidth hogs.
180 characters take nothing.
This isnt the 1980s, and people aren’t sitting around TVs in prime time.
Things move quick and it isnt time for sentimental ideas of getting messages out.
BHARRFFF!!!
It still has pictures of Mooch and the Faggot!
Reagan did very well in talking directly to the people. He was able to go around the media filter .
...
He also went directly to the people and told them to contact their representatives in order to get his initiatives through Congress.
And that's a beautiful thing. Keep the tweets coming President Trump.
Then why was he tweeting long before he ran for president and long before the dishonest media was a problem for him?
