Donald Trump has said that he has no plans to quit Twitter even after becoming US President this week, saying a "dishonest" media has forced him to continue tweeting to vent out his views.
"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....," the President-elect told The Times newspaper.
Trump, who will become the 45th US President on Friday told the paper that he does not intend to lay off Twitter once he is in the Oval Office of the White House and will keep his @realDonaldTrump account.
Trump, who has earned a reputation for making unpredictable statements on Twitter, said that he had considered cutting down his Twitter use. But his reach has become so large that he feels the media are so unkind to him
that he will continue to send out updates, he said.
"@realDonaldTrump I think, I'll keep it," he said. "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....," he said.
