Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said on Thursday’s “Morning Joe” Twitter is “amazing,” and that “it’s like owning The New York Times without the losses.”

Trump claimed that he likes using Twitter so much because he is able to “fight back” when “a dope like a Rich Lowry goes on, or people like Megyn Kelly says things that are wrong, I’m able to tweet.”

The twitter guys aren’t as powerful or visible as zuck, so Trump doesn’t seem to think they’re worthy of any mention. Zuck on the other hand was worth a mention from Trump, who said Zuck basically owned immigration-boy rubio.

The Donald has very effectively used Twitter to the Donald’s advantage.

I love Twitter. I find it to be a very quick way to keep up on what’s going on ... and lots of links leading to more info.

Everyone thinks he’s so “thin-skinned” and obsessed with responding to every slight. No, he just fires off a couple of tweets probably takes five minutes tops, and he’s on to the next thing while the media spends the next 24 hours talking about it.

If I would Tweet my political opinions, and/or strong Orthodox Tweets, etc. the main purpose of the account—business—would crash and burn.

Maybe just open a second account?

Remember he is a reality show star. He is Kim Kardasian with bad hair. Reality show stars don't act per se. They don't sell soap. What they do is sell themselves. He can run circles around any other candidate media wise.

Solution is simple in your case. Get a Twitter account for your personal self and keep it separate from your business.
