I don't like tweeting: Donald Trump

January 18, 2017 17:35

US President-elect Donald Trump, whose sensational announcements and criticism on Twitter has the world hooked on, has said he does not like tweeting but has to use the social media platform as a defence against "dishonest" media.

"Look, I don't like tweeting, I have other things I can 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," Trump told Fox News.

"Now if the press were honest, which it's not, I would absolutely not use Twitter," the US President-elect said.
