A new Sunday Times interview between British Parliament member Michael Gove and our soon-to-be Supreme Leader Donald Trump offers much interesting insight into how Trump will use Twitter as president. When Gove asked about whether Trump would use the @POTUS handle, he offered up the following response:
@realDonaldTrump I think, I’ll keep it . . . so I’ve got 46 million people right now — that’s a lot, that’s really a lot — but 46 million — including Facebook, Twitter and ya know, Instagram, so when you think that you’re 46 million there, I’d rather just let that build up and just keep it @realDonaldTrump, it’s working — and the tweeting, I thought I’d do less of it, but I’m covered so dishonestly by the press — so dishonestly — that I can put out Twitter — and it’s not 140, it’s now 280 — I can go bing bing bing . . . and they put it on and as soon as I tweet it out — this morning on television, Fox — ‘Donald Trump, we have breaking news’. This word salad might leave one a bit stumped on our future president’s plan, but allow me to translate his points into something coherent:
“@realDonaldTrump I think, I’ll keep it.” Donald Trump will continue tweeting from his personal account as president.
“The tweeting, I thought I’d do less of it, but I’m covered so dishonestly by the press.” Trump would tweet less if the press was nicer to him.
“I can put out Twitter — and it’s not 140, it’s now 280 — I can go bing bing bing.” This could mean a variety of things:

“You all are idiots if you think I, who have supported Trump for a year and a half, am a “concern troll”. “
Only an idiotic troll would claim Trump has been more talk and less action. That is a bold faced lie and you know it, troll.
“This is however a grassroots site, which is a legitimate and important venue for giving the Trump admin feedback on where they are causing themselves problems and going off course.”
Liberals should just shut the hell up and stop hiding behind some virtuous indignation.
LYING is not grassroots anything!
You LIED when you claimed Trump was more talk and less action when everyone can plainly see he is a man of action. He’s gotten more done than Obama could dream. Obama talked a big game and was all mouth and no action. Typical pothead. Same with you.
YOu’re lying by misquoting me—as anyone looking on this thread can confirm. You were a jerk on the thread re: Ivanka too. I will not respond to you again anywhere on this site.
Why don't you at least wait for him to get sworn in before attacking him?
” I will not respond to you again anywhere on this site.”
Yes, you will. Trolls cannot help themselves.
Let's not forget the media loved Obama's use of social media.
2008: Obama 2008 and Social Media Joe Rospars of the 2008 Obama campaign talks about how new social media helped draw people together and personalize the campaign and election.
I could post 1,000 articles like these from 2008. The fact is Obama and democrats are pissed that Trump has done so well using just twitter.
Troll: “We are going to need less talking and more doing.”
Really? More doing, you say? As though Trump has only been talking and not doing enough??
Troll. Stop pissing on our legs and telling us it is raining. We’re not as stupid as you liberals are.
Trump has done such a good job of making things happen before he even takes office that you are evidently under the impression that he is already in office.
What exactly is it that he should have done already without actually being in office?
I think some of these trolls are hangers over from Jeb’s team or some of the other GOPe losers. They post on Free Republic to spread their FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) about Trump and when called on it, they feign indignation.
There is no "peaceful coexistence" with them. We will need to focus on how we can reduce their power.
As a start, reduce the power of academia by taking a good look at government research grants, especially to the "social sciences". Deny funding to professional agitators. Make the academic "social justice warriors" have to live with less money.
Also take a look at grants to "non-governmental institutions". Deny funding to those who are against liberty and against the vision of the Founders.
Deny funding to "sanctuary cities".
Put more boots on the ground looking for illegal immigrants. Prosecute those giving them sanctuary. Hunt down, prosecute, and deport every illegal found to have voted.
Offer bounties to local law enforcement for every illegal successfully deported with their help. Pay for that by cutting all funding for the militarization of police depts.
LET THE BIG DOG ROCK ON!
As Seven of Nine would say:
“The media is irrelevant.”
Trump: "The media IS the opposition party."
My kids and I couldn’t get enough of those Placeboing videos. Just the fact that they were so funny and well done gave me the sense that we would win. Hillary’s side didn’t have squat in comparison.
