Twitter‑Wired: How Trump Keeps the World Buzzing
Ever wondered how a president could post from behind the sheets? Donald Trump says he’s no stranger to tweeting from bed, or breakfast, or even whenever the beat of the day lets him – because when you’re a POTUS, you’re busy “everywhere, all the time.” Let’s break down the whirlwind of his Twitter life and a few other tidbits.
Why Twitter Matters to the Big Bad Boy
- 47.2 million followers on @realDonaldTrump (as of Jan 28, 2018).
- He uses the platform to drop policy notes, roast critics, and even huddle with North Korea over global matters.
- “I need social media to talk to voters. Without it, I can’t defend myself,” he told Britain’s ITV on a Sunday morning.
Bed‑Side Tweets: Continuous, Chaotic, Convenient
“I sometimes tweet from bed,” Trump confessed. He would even hand off a quick ditty to a staffer to post. “I get a lot of fake news, a lot of false stuff,” he added, stressing the need for the real‑time, unfiltered rant.
Tweets on Health & Hunger
When pressed about his health – with rumors swirling that he’d lost his mind – he confidently declared himself a “stable genius,” throwing a proud salute to his vigor.
- He’s a foodie: “I eat fine food from the finest chefs in the world. I do have burgers and Coke once in a while, but overall I eat pretty well.”
- Total age‑defying: 71, but just the smoldering man you’d want on TV and stand in front of a nation.
Trump in the UK: A Political Roller‑Coaster
Though some UK politicians urged him to stay away, he still reported a massive fan base abroad. “I get so much fan mail from folks over there – they love my sense of security. They like what I say on everything.”
Brexit Beat: Trump vs. Theresa May
He said he would handle Brexit “tougher” than the current Prime Minister. In his view:
- “I wouldn’t negotiate it like she’s doing now. I’d be totally different.”
- He’d push the EU hard and believe the US would still come to a great trade deal with the UK.
Women, War, and the World
He claimed strong support for women: “I’m for women and men – everyone,” while bragging about his military prowess. “I’m the best at the military. Women love that; they want to feel safe.”
And Who’s He Friends With?
Macron, France’s President, – a friend. The world watches, the tweets keep up. The story? It’s a mix of politics, personality, and those sprightly nightly tweets that keep the world engaged.
