Breaking: A man who just days ago tweeted his disapproval of Saturday Night Live and civil rights icon John Lewis now claims he's not a fan of the very platform from which those tweets were sent. In a puff piece courtesy of Fox & Friends Tuesday, Trump claimed the only reason he even uses Twitter is because journalists keep doing journalism.
"Look, I don't like tweeting," Trump claimed. "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." Amazingly, Trump then mentioned Lewis again before diving a bit further into his reasoning for being so prolific on Twitter:
"When people make statements about me, I'm able to say it and call 'em out," Trump said. "You know, I have now… I'm gonna be close to 50 million people including Facebook and Instagram and different things. I'm gonna be very close to 50 million people, so when people misrepresent me, because the press is very dishonest, unbelievably dishonest, and when people misrepresent me, I have at least a way of saying it's a false statement."
A sizable portion of the American people, however, feel differently about Trump's use of Twitter. A poll released by Quinnipiac University last week found that 64 percent of voters think Trump should delete his damn account as soon as he steps into the White House. Broken down by demographic, the number of people who feel Trump should stop tweeting leaps to 71 percent among those between the ages of 18 and 34.
Anyway, here are some recent tweets from someone who allegedly doesn't like to tweet:
And here's Trump staring into the camera while allegedly using a pen to put his own words onto a piece of paper:
But he definitely doesn't like tweeting.
