PEOPLE WILL BE TALKING ABOUT AT
THANKSGIVING LATER THIS WEEK.
>> IT'S A VERY DIFFERENT PICTURE
WHEN CHARLIE ROSE IS OUT LESS
THAN 24 HOURS.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
THAT IS ALL FOR US ON "360."
SPECIAL REPORT, "TWITTER AND
TRUMP" STARTS RIGHT NOW.
>>> IT IS A MARRIAGE OF MAN,
MESSAGE, AND MACHINE UNLIKE ANY
OTHER EVER. >> I SIT THERE AT 3:00 IN THE
MORNING, DING, DING, DING.
YOU KNOW. OUR COUNTRY IS GOING TO HELL.
WE MUST STOP IT.
>> I WAKE UP EVERY DAY AND LAUGH AT THE LATEST THING DONALD HAS
TWEETED BECAUSE HE'S LOSING IT.
>> DO YOU THINK DONALD TRUMP
COULD HAVE WON THIS ELECTION
WITHOUT TW WITHOUT TWITTER?
>> NOPE.
M. CUBAN SWINGS LIKE A LITTLE
GIRL WITH NO TALENT.
MARK'S A LOSER.
>> WHY DO SHOWS HAVE ANA?
SHE'S A LOSER.
>>. OTHER TIMES IT IS HIS SHIELD.
>> THIS IS THE SINGLE GREATEST
WITCH HUNT.
>> WITCH HUNT, WITCH HUNT.
>> BUT WHAT HAPPENS TO AMERICA
WHEN THIS MAN ENTERS THIS OFFICE
AND PUTS A FINGER ON THIS
BUTTON? >> IF DONALD TRUMP IMPLODES, IT
WILL BE BECAUSE OF TWITTER.
>> HOW WILL HISTORY REMEMBER THE
AGE OF TWITTER AND TRUMP?
>>> THESE ARE THE COLLECTED
TWEETS OF DONALD J. TRUMP,
VOLUME 1.
WE HAD THEM PRINTED AND BOUND AS
A PHYSICAL REMINDER THAT HIS
DIGITAL WORDS ARE THE SIGN OF
OUR TIMES.
AND WILL BE STUDIED FOR
CENTURIES. THESE ARE HIS TWEETS SINCE HE
DECLARED HIS RUN FOR THE 45th
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
HIS EVER-EXPANDING NEW
TESTAMENT, IF YOU WILL.
BUT THE GENESIS OF THIS STORY
BEGINS TENS OF THOUSANDS OF
TWEETS AGO. >> AND HERE TO PRESENT THE TOP
TEN LIST OF THE CELEBRI"CELEBRI
APPRENTICE" DONALD TRUMP.
>> WAY BACK IN 2009 WHEN HIS
TWEET WAS A PLUG TO MAKE HIM
WATCH DAVID LETTERMAN.
>> SELL NORTH DAKOTA NORTH
DAKOTA TO THE CHINESE. >> WHAT'S REMARKABLE IS ON THAT
DAY, ONLY FOUR PEOPLE REACT TO
IT. ONLY FOUR PEOPLE REACT TO WHAT'S
ARGUABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT
INFLUENTIAL SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNT
EVER.
>> NUMBER TWO, WE'RE SCREWED.
>> FITTING BECAUSE THAT TWEET
MARKED A REAL LOW POINT.
HE WAS COMING OUT OF BANKRUPTCY
AGAIN.
"THE APPRENTICE" WAS IN A DEEP
RATINGS SLUMP. AND HIS FATHER RAISED HIM TO
BELIEVE THAT THE ONLY THING
WORSE THAN BANKRUPTCY IS
OBSCURITY. >> FRED TRUMP ACTUALLY DROPPED
LEAFLETS OUT OF AIRPLANES TO
DRAW PEOPLE TO THE APARTMENTS
THAT HE HAD FOR RENT.
>> THE TWITTER OF THE ERA,
RIGHT?
>> THAT WAS THE DROP A MESSAGE
OUT OF AN AIRPLANE.
TRUMP WAS A MASTER OF THE PSEUDO
NEWS EVENT.
>> IN THE TRUTH ABOUT TRUMP, THE FOAMILY DESCRIBES HOW WE WOULD
WORK THE PRESS TO CREATE AN
IMAGE OF SUCCESS.
>> YOU COULD SEND OUT A PRESS
RELEASE AND IT WOULD SAY FRED
TRUMP HAS ANNOUNCED THAT HE'S
SOLD 50% OF THE PROPERTIES IN A
NEW DEVELOPMENT. AND IT WOULD ACTUALLY GET IN THE
PAPER. >> AS THE SON SET OUT TO CONQUER
MANHATTAN, HE BORROWED DAD'S
TRICKS, INCLUDED TELEPHONE ALTER
EGOS NAMES JOHN BARON OR JOHN
MILLER. ALL THE BETTER TO CALL REPORTERS
AND SING THE PRAISES OF THE
DONALD.
>> I THOUGHT IT WAS KIND OF
CREATIVE ON HIS PART.
HE DIDN'T HAVE A BIG STAFF.
HE SORT OF MADE IT LOOK LIKE HIS
STAFF WAS BIGGER BY HAVING ALL
THESE REPRESENTATIVES AND ALSO
HE COULD SAY THINGS ABOUT DONALD
THAT WOULD BE OUTRAGEOUS IF HE
WERE SAYING IT ABOUT HIMSELF.
>> WHY WOULDN'T SOMEONE LIKE
YOURSELF RUN FOR POLITICAL
OFFICE? YOU HAVE ALL THE MONEY THAT YOU
POSSIBLY NEED.
YOU'VE ACCOMPLISHED A GREAT DEAL
EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE ONLY 34.
>> BECAUSE I THINK IT'S A VERY
MEAN LIFE.
I WOULD LOVE AND I WOULD
DEDICATE MY LIFE TO THIS
COUNTRY, BUT I SEE IT AS BEING A
MEAN LIFE AND I ALSO SEE IT THAT
SOMEBODY WITH STRONG VIEWS AND
SOMEBODY WITH THE KIND OF VIEWS
THAT ARE MAYBE A LITTLE BIT
UNPOPULAR, WHICH MAY BE RIGHT,
BUT MAY BE UNPOPULAR, WOULDN'T
NECESSARILY HAVE A CHANCE OF
GETTING ELECTED AGAINST SOMEBODY
WITH NO GREAT BRAIN BUT A BIG
SMILE. >> EXCUSE ME, WHERE'S THE LOB
SNE. >> DOWN THE HALL AND TO THE
LEFT. >> EVEN WHEN THE BALANCE SHEET
WAS BLOODY RED, HE CAREFULLY
NOURISHED THE IMAGE OF SUCCESS.
EVEN AS HE SHIFTED FROM
BUILDINGS TO BRANDING AND IN
2002 THAT IMAGE BROUGHT HIM A
CALL FROM THE FOUNDING FATHER OF
REALITY TV.
THE PITCH, SURVIVOR IN THE
JUNGLES OF MANHATTAN.
FRED TRUMP WOULD HAVE LOVED IT.
AMERICA WOULD HAVE LOVED IT.
THOSE FIRST FEW SEASONS WERE
MUST-SEE TV. BUT THE DEFINITION OF MUST-SEE
WAS ABOUT TO CHANGE AND MEDIA
WAS IN FOR A SEISMIC SHIFT.
2006, JUST AS SEASON FIVE OF
"THE A PRPPRENTICE" WAS FALLINGT
OF THE TOP 50, JACK DORSEY SAT
DOWN AND TYPED I'M JUST SETTING
UP MY TWITTER.
>> I HAVE FIE90 FOLLOWERS AT TH
MOMENT. SO 90 PEOPLE ARE WATCHING WHAT
I'M DOING. >> WHAT STARTED AS AN IDEA TO
SEND SHORT MESSAGES TO A NETWORK
OF FRIENDS GREW INTO THE NEWEST
STRAN STRAND OF SOCIAL MEDIA AND THEN
EXPLODED THE DAY MICHAEL JACKSON
DIED. >> AND FOR THE FIRST TIME WE SEE
MORE THAN 100,000 TWEETS IN AN
HOUR. THAT'S A SIGN THAT THIS IS A
SPACE THAT PEOPLE ARE GOING TO
BREAK AND TALK ABOUT NEWS.
>> THIS NEW TOOL CAPTURED THE
IMAGINATION OF ONLINE MARKETERS.
>> BACK IN 2009, I WAS WORKING
FOR A PUBLISHING COMPANY,
INCLUDING THE MAN TASKED WITH
FINDING NEW WAYS TO PROMOTE
DONALD TRUMP'S NEW BOOK.
>> THEY SAY WE DON'T REALLY
UNDERSTAND THIS, SO YOU'RE THE
EXPERT, WHY DON'T YOU EXPLAIN
IT. >> THEY SET UP A MEETING WITH
THE BOSS WHERE PETER EXPLAINED
THE BASICS TO THE BILLIONAIRE
AND THEN MENTIONED ONE HITCH.
AN IMPOSTER HAD ALREADY CLAIMED
THE HANDLE@DONALD TRUMP.
>> THAT'S WHEN I SUGGESTED WE
CALL HIM @REAL DONALD TRUMP AND
I REMEMBER HE NODDED BECAUSE HE
REALLY LIKED THE SOUND OF THAT.
>> DESPITE THE PITCH FOR
AUTHENTICITY, PETER RAN THE
ACCOUNT.
HE'S THE AUTHOR OF THAT DAVID
LETTERMAN PLUG.
AND MOST OF THE EARLY TWEETS
WERE JUST ASPIRATIONAL QUOTES
THEY COPIED FROM TRUMP'S BOOKS.
>> ONE OF THE EARLY TWEETS THAT
I HAD POSTED I HAVE RIGHT HERE
WAS MY PERSONA WILL NEVER BE
THAT OF A WALL FLOWER.
I'D RATHER BUILD WALLS THAN
CLING TO THEM.
>> EIGHT MONTHS LATER, TRUMP
TAKES OVER HIS OWN TWEETING AND
RIGHT AWAY SHOWS OFF HIS GRAND
AMBITION WITH A T YIRKSYPO AND
WEBSITE.
HOW ARE FACTORIES SUPPOSED TO
COMPETE WITH CHINA AND OTHER
COUNTRIES?
DOT, DOT, DOT.
>> HE DOESN'T REVEAL IN SOCIAL
MEDIA THAT THE WEBSITE HAS
ACTUALLY BEEN SET UP BY A VIS
PRESIDENT WITHIN THE TRUMP
ORGANIZATION. >> WHY DO YOU THINK HE RAN FOR
PRESIDENT? >> BOTH THE PRESIDENT AND HIS
SON DONALD JUNIOR HAVE TOLD ME
WE'RE GENETICALLY SUPERIOR AND
HE ASSUMED HE WOULD BE BEST AT
THE JOB.
THE OTHER THING IS HE WAS
FURIOUS WITH BARACK OBAMA.
>> NO ONE IS PROUDER TO PUT THIS
BIRTH CERTIFICATE MATTER TO REST
THAN THE DONALD.
>> HIS ANIMOUS WAS BASED NOT
ONLY ON POLITICS BUT ABOUT THE
PRESIDENT'S JOKES ABOUT HIM
MERCILESSLY AT THE 2011
CORRESPONDENT'S DINNER. >> THAT'S BECAUSE HE CAN FINALLY
GET BACK TO FOCUSING ON THE
ISSUES THAT MATTER.
LIKE DID WE FAKE THE MOON
LANDING. WHAT REALLY HAPPENED IN ROSWELL
AND WHERE ARE BIGGIE AND TUPAK.
>> AND TRUMP IS SIT TLG TRYING
-- SIT TTING THERE TRYING TO TE
IT AND YOU CAN SEE HE'S
MISERABLE AND SOOTHING.
YOU CAN KIND OF NOTICE THIS IS
GOING TOO FAR.
>> PRESIDENT TRUMP DISPUTES THE
THEORY THAT THIS IS THE MOMENT
HE DECIDED TO RUN.
BUT A FEW WEEKS LATER, HE BEGAN
USING TWITTER TO ATTACK OBAMA
AND A BARRAGE WOULD FOLLOW.
HE TWEETED THE BIRTHER
CONSPIRACY MORE THAN 60 TIMES
BEFORE FINALLY ADMITTING THE
TRUTH. IN 2012 IT DIDN'T SEEM TO
MATTER. BARACK OBAMA EASILY WON
REELECTION AND THE VERY NEXT DAY
AT ABOUT 2:00 IN THE AFTERNOON
TRUMP TRIED A NEW LINE.
WE HAVE TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT
AGAIN. FEW PEOPLE NOTICED.
EVEN TODAY IT HAS LESS THAN
1,500 LIKES.
BUT THAT TWEET WOULD MARK A
TURNING POINT IN AMERICAN
HISTORY.
BECAUSE WHAT CAME NEXT CHANGED
EVERYTHING.

MUCH.

WRORODE
AN ESCALATOR INTO HISTORY, HE
HAD SPENT FIVE YEARS --
>> IT'S AN ASSET.
I TWEET WELL.
>> AS MUCH AS THEY TRIED, HIS
RIVALS LOOK LIKE THEY BROUGHT A
KNIFE TO A GUNFIGHT.
>> THIS IS A TOUGH BUSINESS TO
RUN FOR PRESIDENT.
>> YOU'RE A TOUGH GUY.
>> WE NEED TO HAVE A LEADER.
>> REAL TOUGH.
>> WE WENT BACK AND LOOKED AT
JEB BUSH'S MOST POPULAR TWEETS.

>> HE HAD A FEW.
HE HAD ONE THAT GOT NEARLY
35,000 LIKES WITH JUST A PICTURE
OF HIS GUN.

>> NO. WHICH TELLS YOU EVERYTHING YOU

>> BUT EACH OF THOSE MOMENTS
CONVINCED ONE MAN IN NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA THAT DONALD TRUMP
COULD NOT LOSE.
>> HEY, SCOTT.
>> HOW ARE YOU?
COME ON IN.
>> THIS IS BEAUTIFUL.
>> THANKS. >> THE HOUSE THAT DILBERT BUILT.
>> SCOTT ADAMS IS THE CREATOR OF
A COMIC STRIP, AN EMPIRE OF
BOOKS, TOYS, AND CALENDARS
ALTHOUGH HE ADMITS HIS SPEAKING
ENGAGEMENTS HAVE TAKEN A HIT
SINCE HE BEGAN PRAISING
PRESIDENT TRUMP ON TWITTER.
>> YOU WERE ONE OF THE FEW
PUBLIC PEOPLE IN AMERICA WHO SAW
THIS ELECTION COMING LONG BEFORE
ANYBODY ELSE. >> RIGHT.
>> HOW? >> SO, I HAVE A BACKGROUND IN
HIP NOSE SIS.
I'VE BEEN INTERESTED IN
PERSUASION IN ALL ITS FORMS FOR
YEARS.
IN DONALD TRUMP I SAW THE SET OF
PERSUASION TOOLS THAT I HAD BEEN
COLLECTING OVER THE DECADES.
HE LISTS TRUMP'S FAME, HEIGHT,
AND UNFLINCHING BRASSNESS AMONG
THOSE TOOLS ALONG WITH HIS
INFAMOUS NEGOTIATING STYLE.
>> I COULD STAND IN THE MIDDLE
OF FIFTH AVENUE AND SHOOT
SOMEBODY AND I WOULDN'T LOSE ANY
VOTERS. >> AND WHAT IS IT ABOUT HIS
CADENCE, HIS CO CAB LA-- VOCABU
ALL OF THAT THAT MAKES HIM
SUCCESSFUL? >> IT'S A WHOLE BUNCH OF THINGS.
THE FACT THAT IT HAS TO BE BRIEF
TO BE IN A TWEET WORKS TO HIS
FAVOR. >> LIKE A CARTOON IN MANY WAYS.
>> LIKEWISE, I AM VERY
SUCCESSFUL ON TWITTER BECAUSE I
KNOW HOW TO MAKE SHORT FUNNY
SENTENCES.
HE KNOWS AS A PERSUADE OR,
SOMEONE TRAINED IN THE WAYS OF
PERSUADING, THAT SIMPLE IS
ALWAYS MORE PERSUASIVE THAN
COMPLICATED.
IF WE CAN UNDERSTAND IT, WE'RE MORE LIKELY TO SAY YEAH, THAT
SOUNDS RIGHT.
WE'LL BUILD A WALL AND THERE
WON'T BE SO MANY PEOPLE COMING
IN TAKING OUR JOBS.
NOW YOU HAVE JOBS. HE KEEPS IT SIMPLE.
HE KEEPS IT VISUAL.
HE SEEMS TO CARE ABOUT THE
THINGS I CARE ABOUT.
DID HE GET SOME FACTS WRONG?
YEAH.
DO I CARE?
NO, NOT AT ALL. I DON'T CARE A BIT.
>> NOT LETTING FACTS GET IN THE
WAY OF A GOOD STORY IS A HUGE
ADVANTAGE. ESPECIALLY WHEN RAILING AGAINST
THE SITTING PRESIDENT WITH A
MORE CAREFUL DEMEANOR.
>> HOW MUCH DID YOU AGONIZE OVER
A BARACK OBAMA TWEET?
>> THERE WAS A DAY WHERE HE
WANTED TO PUT OUT A SERIES OF
TWEETS ON GUN CONTROL.
AND HE WAS LOOKING FOR
STATISTICS TO USE TO MAKE SURE
THEY WERE ACCURATE.
AND THAT TOOK SEVERAL
ITERATIONS. >> BUT THERE WERE A SYSTEM OF
CHECKS AND BALANCES.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
JUST AS THERE WERE FOR ANY
STATEMENT THE PRESIDENT GAVE OR
ANY SPEECH HE DELIVERED.
>> MEANWHILE, RAW, UNFILTERED
TRUMP WAS PUSHING AMERICA'S
BUTTONS AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT.
>> IT DOES GIVES YOU A
TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF POWER.
>> AFTER YEARS OF REALITY
TELEVISION, HE OON THUNDERSTOOD
THE AUDIENCE LOVES CONFLICT.
>> IF YOU SEE SOMEBODY GETTING
READY TO THROW A TOMATO, KNOCK
THE CRAP OUT OF THEM, WOULD YOU?
>> IN THE CAMPAIGN, DURING THE
WHOLE CYCLE, HE NEVER ATTACKED
ANYBODY. >> DAN MET TRUMP AS A TEENAGE
CADDY. THEN YEARS LATER DROPPED
EVERYTHING TO RUN SOCIAL MEDIA FOR THE CAMPAIGN.
>> THE TRUMP TRAIN IS ALL HERE,
RIGHT. >> FROM HIS POINT OF VIEW, EVERY
HARSH TWEET WAS JUSTIFIABLE
SELF-DEFENSE.
>> HE NEVER ATTACKED ANYBODY IN
THE SENSE OF WHERE HE STARTED.
IT WAS ALWAYS THE OPPOSING
CAMPAIGN THROWING PUNCHES AT
DONALD TRUMP. AND IF YOU'RE GOING TO THROW
PUNCHES AT DONALD TRUMP, BE
PREPARED. NOT ONLY DOES IT GET HIM FIRED
UP, IT FIRES UP EVERYBODY AROUND
HIM. >> ONE OF MY HOBBIES IS NEXT
ANALYSIS AND DONALD TRUMP'S
TWITTER POSED A REALLY
INTERESTING TEXT ANALYSIS
CHALLENGE. >> DAVID IS A HARVARD AND
PRINCETON EDUCATED SCIENTIST TO
REALIZE OFFICIAL CAMPAIGN TWEETS
FROM SCOVINO WERE DIFFERENT FROM
DONALD TRUMP'S PERSONAL TWEETS.
>> THE ONES COMING FROM TRUMP
WERE ANGRIER?
>> YES.
LOOK AT THE WORDS THAT ARE MOST
LIKELY TO BE FROM THE ANDROID
AND FROM THE iPHONES.
ONES LIKE BADLY, CRAZY, WEAK,
SPENT. >> JOKE.
>> DUMB.
YEAH. ONES WHERE HE WAS INSULTING
SOMEONE. >> HIS JABS WERE OFTEN SO
SHOCKING YOU DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO
FOLLOW HIM ON TWITTER TO SEE
EVERY BLOW.
>> WHILE MOST OF US WERE
SLEEPING, AN OVERNIGHT TWEET
STORM THAT HAS WASHINGTON
BUZZING.
>> IT'S LIKE OWNING "THE NEW
YORK TIMES" WITHOUT THE LOSSES.
AND WHAT'S AMAZING ABOUT THE
SOCIAL MEDIA WITH MR. TRUMP, WE
CAN BE ON A PLANE GOING
SOMEWHERE AND HE CAN WANT TO GET
A MESSAGE OUT, A STRONG MESSAGE.
IT'S ON CNN FIVE MINUTES LATER.
MR. TRUMP LOVES COMMUNICATING. HE'S A COMMUNICATOR.
>> PLEASE WELCOME THE PRESIDENT
OF THE UNITED STATES.
>> IN A WORLD FILLED WITH SO
MUCH DOUBT AND SUSPICION, IT WAS
A PERFECT STORM.
MAN, MESSAGE, AND MACHINE.
BUT USING TWITTER TO CAMPAIGN IS
ONE THING.
HOW WOULD A PRESIDENT TRUMP USE
IT TO GOVERN?

SAID. HE SAID -- SO IT WENT ALL THE
WAY BACK.
>> THE EARLY RETWEET.
>> THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT.
>> BUT AS COMMUNICATION EVOLVED,
THE PRESIDENTS WE REMEMBER TOOK
EXISTING TOOLS AND MADE THEM
THEIR OWN.
TEDDY ROOSEVELT COURTED
CARTOONISTS IN A WHOLE NEW WAY.

>> THIS WAS DELIVERED ON
TWITTER.
>> PRESIDENT TRUMP TWEETED THIS.
>> WHICH BRINGS US TO NUMBER 45.
>> I'LL DO IT VERBALLY.
I'LL DO IT ON TELEVISION.
I'LL DO IT ON TWITTER. >> I GOT TO TALK TO DONALD TRUMP
AT MAR-A-LAGO ABOUT BOOKS AND HE
JUST DOESN'T READ THEM.
HE HAS NO INTEREST IN THEM.
I TALKED TO HIM ABOUT PRESIDENT
HISTORY.
HE'S NEVER READ A PRESIDENTIAL
BIOGRAPHY.
>> WE HAD TREMENDOUS SUCCESS ON
"THE APPRENTICE."
>> WHAT HE RIFTS OFF OF IS
RECENT TV. >> ONE OF THE WORLD'S GREATEST
HEROES, RONALD REAGAN.
>> HE'S INTERESTED IN RONALD
REAGAN BECAUSE HE REMEMBERS IT.
HE'S INTERESTED IN JOHN F.
KENNEDY BECAUSE HE REMEMBERS IT.
ANYTHING PAST THAT DONALD TRUMP
HAS ZERO ATTENTION SPAN FOR.
>> HE'S NOT ALONE, OF COURSE.
AS MEDIA GOT FASTER, THE
AMERICAN ATTENTION SPAN GOT
SHORTER. WHICH GIVES RISE TO A LEADER NOT
TRAINED IN POLICY OR POLITICS,
BUT TABLOID HEADLINES.
>> BILLIONAIRE BOY WONDER DONALD
TRUMP IS LEARNING A NEW DEAL.
DIVORCE. >> BEAUTY PAGEANTS.
>> THE BIG MAN ON CAMPUS, DONALD
TRUMP. >> AND REALITY TV.
>> YOU'RE FIRED.
YOU'RE FIRED.
>> DONALD TRUMP HAS CREATED A
PERSONA.
WHEN WE'RE GETTING NOW AS
PRESIDENT ON TELEVISION ALL THE
TIME IS THE PERSONA BECAUSE HE'S
SO DRAMATIC, SO VOLATILE.
HE'S A VILLAIN OF A VERY LARGE
KIND WTO MOST PEOPLE IN AMERICA.
HE'S THE ULTIMATE HERO TO
ANOTHER GROUP. AND SO I'M AFRAID WE'RE LIVING
IN A TIME WHERE A PERSONA
PRESIDENT THAT DOESN'T EVEN KNOW
HIS REAL SELF IS KIND OF ROLE
PLAYING WHAT A PRESIDENT WOULD
BE WHILE WE'RE WATCHING A
REALITY TV AS OUR AMERICAN
POLITICAL THEATER.
>> ARE YOU GOING TO BE TWEETING
WHATEVER YOU'RE UPSET ABOUT,
JUST PUT OUT THERE WHEN YOU'RE
PRESIDENT?
>> IT'S A MODERN FORM OF
COMMUNICATION. I'M GOING TO DO VERY
RESTRAINED --
>> SO HELP ME GOD.
>> CONGRATULATIONS, MR.
PRESIDENT.
>> SOME HOPED THAT THE TWITTER
HABIT WOULD END AFTER HE WON.
>> THIS IS ALSO LIES.
JOY BEHAR WHO WAS FIRED FROM HER
LAST SHOW FOR LACK OF RATINGS
WAS EVEN WORSE ON THE "THE
VIEW". >> MONTHS AFTER THE WIN IT
BECAME OBVIOUS THE INSULTS AND
OBSESSION WITH RATINGS WOULD NOT
STOP.
>> FIRST OF ALL, I WASN'T FIRED
FROM MY LAST JOB.
I WAS WORKING AT CURRENT TV.
AL GORE DECIDED TO SELL THE
STATION.
SO HE'S LYING.
>> WHAT DID YOU -- WHAT WAS YOUR
REACTION WHEN YOU READ THAT
TWEET? >> I SAID GOOD.
I LOVE TO BE ON AN ENEMY'S LIST.
>> NIXON'S LIST WAS SECRET.
BUT WITH TWITTER, YOU SEE THIS
PRESIDENT'S ENEMIES LIST GROW IN
REAL TIME.
MANY WONDERED IF THEY SHOULD BE
TAKEN AS OFFICIAL STATEMENTS.
>> THE PRESIDENT IS THE
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES,
SO THEY'RE CONSIDERED OFFICIAL
STATEMENTS BY THE PRESIDENT OF
THE UNITED STATES. >> A FAVORITE TARGET BY FAR.
>> I WANT TO FIND A FRIENDLY
REPORTER. >> ARE THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO
COVERED HIM.
>> DONALD TRUMP RANTS AND RAVES.
I'M NOT RANTING AND RAVING.
I'M JUST TELLING YOU YOU'RE
DISHONEST PEOPLE. >> ALL PRESIDENTS COMPLAIN ABOUT
THE PRESS.
USUALLY IN PRIVATE
CORRESPONDENCE, MAYBE IN ONE
OCCASIONAL OUTBURST.
DONALD TRUMP HAS MADE IT HIS RED
MEAT. >> HE LIKES TO BE EMOTIONALLY
COMPATIBLE WITH THE PUBLIC.
SO WHERE THE PUBLIC WOULD HAVE
SAID HEY, I'M NOT SURE I TRUST
THE NEWS SOURCES OR MAYBE I
TRUST THIS ONE AND NOT THESE, HE
WOULDN'T FULL FAKE NEWS.
>> WHAT'S THE COST OF THAT,
THOUGH, YOU THINK, ULTIMATELY?
OR IS THERE ONE?
>> I THINK THE COST IS HE BECAME
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
>> YOU ARE ATTACKING OUR NEWS
ORGANIZATIONS.
>> HE TURNS A LOT OF REPORTERS
THROUGH HIS BILE TOWARDS THEM,
THEY BECOME TARGETS.
>> WHERE ARE YOU FROM?
>> BBC.
>> HERE'S ANOTHER BEAUTY.
QUIET.
>> CAN YOU GIVE US A QUESTION?
CAN YOU GIVE US A QUESTION?
>> I'M NOT GOING TO GIVE YOU A
QUESTION.
>> REPORTERS START GETTING HATE
MAIL.
IT'S LIKE HE SENDS A POSSE OUT
ON THEM. >> THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES CALLED ME FAKE NEWS AND
ON THE DAY HE CALLED ME FAKE
NEWS SOMEBODY WENT ON MY
WIKIPEDIA PAGE AND CHANGE TODAY
TO SAY THAT I HAD DIED THAT DAY.
THAT I HAD DIED ON JANUARY 11th,
2017. THAT HAD TO BE TAKEN DOWN.
I TURNED OFF MY TWITTER
NOTIFICATIONS BECAUSE IT BECAME
SORT OF THIS OPEN SEWER OF
HATRED AND CONTEMPT.
I DIDN'T CHOOSE FOR THAT TO
HAPPEN.
HERE'S THE QUESTION.
WHAT DO WE DO ABOUT THIS?
DO WE JUST TAKE IT?
DO WE NOT SAY ANYTHING? >> TO HIS SUPPORTERS, ATTACKING
THE MESSAGER IS A FEATURE.
AN ACCESS FEELS AUTHENTIC.
>> TRUMP TOWER IS RIGHT BEHIND
US.
IN A POLITICALLY CORRECT WORLD.
>> I DON'T THINK AMERICANS WANT
HIM OFF TWITTER.
I THINK THEY ARE ENJOYING IT.
I THINK IT ACTUALLY GOES BACK TO
WRESTLING AND THE BEAUTY
CONTESTS AND "CELEBRITY
APPRENTICE" REALITY TV WHERE HE KIND OF KNOWS WHAT PEOPLE WANT
TO HEAR.
I THINK IT'S UNBELIEVABLE THAT YOU CAN BE ON A SUBWAY, YOU CAN
BE AT DINNER, YOU CAN BE WAITING
IN A DOCTOR'S OFFICE AND YOU SEE
THE SAME MESSAGE FROM THE
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
THAT WORLD LEADERS ARE GETTING.
IT'S A PROFOUND THING.
>> I THINK IF DONALD TRUMP
IMPLODES, IT WILL BE BECAUSE OF
TWITTER. HE NEVER USES E-MAIL.
HE'S BEEN VERY CAGEY AS A
BUSINESS PERSON.
TWITTER, HE CAN GET DRUNK ON IT
AND THAT COULD BECOME HIS
ACHILLES HEEL. RECKLESS USE OF TWITTER COULD
CAUSE HIM TO GO DOWN IN THE END
BECAUSE AT SOME POINT HE MAY
VERY WELL SAY SOMETHING THAT HAS
CONSEQUENCES LEADING TOWARDS
IMPEACHMENT OR SHOWING ILLEGAL
TEE -- ILLEGALITY.
>> A TWEET TOO FAR.
A TWEET TOO FAR. ILLEGALIF
.
>>> I'M WOLF BLITZER AND YOU'RE
IN THE SITUATION ROOM.
>> EVERY SUMMER THIS MOST
BEAUTIFUL PLACE HOSTS A
CONFERENCE ON OUR MOST HORRIBLE

>> STATESMEN, SOLDIERS, SPIES
ALL GATHER TO TALK, TERROR
WEAPONS AND WAR.
>> JOHN BRENNAN MOST RECENTLY
SERVED FOR FOUR YEARS AT THE CIA
DIRECTOR. >> ONE OF THE MAIN TOPICS AT
THIS YEAR'S ASPEN SECURITY FORUM
IS THE INSECURE BEHAVIOR OF
PRESIDENT TRUMP.
>> THIS IS WHAT HE SAID IN A
TWEET, AND I'LL LET BOTH OF YOU
RESPOND. INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES SHOULD
NEVER HAVE ALLOWED THIS FAKE
NEWS TO LEAK INTO THE PUBLIC.
ONE LAST SHOT AT ME.
ARE WE LIVING IN NAZI GERMANY.
>> THESE TYPES OF COMMENTS ARE
JUST DIS GRACEFUL.
NEVER SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED.
>> AMERICAN INTELLIGENCE SOUNDED
THE FIRST WARNING OF RUSSIAN
MEDDLING A MONTH BEFORE THE
ELECTION. BUT IT WAS BURIED BY COVERAGE OF
THIS. >> GRAB HER BY THE [ BLEEP ].
>> AFTER HE WON, THE HACKING
STORY GAINED STEAM.
AND THE PRESIDENT-ELECT
DEFLECTED ON TWITTER PRAISING
PUTIN'S RUSSIA AND MOCKING
AMERICAN INTELLIGENCE. FOR THE MAN IN CHARGE OF THAT
INTEL COMMUNITY, THE NAZI
COMPARISON MADE BLOOD BOIL.
>> PROMPTED ME TO CALL HIM.
WHAT DID I HAVE TO LOSE?
I HAD NINE DAYS LEFT.
BUT I COULDN'T LET THAT
REFERENCE PASS.
THAT WAS A TERRIBLE INSULTING
AFFRONT. NOT TO ME OR JOHN OR ANY OF THE
SENIORS, BUT I'M TALKING ABOUT
THE RANK AND FILE PEOPLE IN THE
TRENCHES, MEN AND WOMEN, THE
PATRIOTS IN THE INTELLIGENCE
COMMUNITY, AND THAT WAS COMPLETELY INAPPROPRIATE.
>> BUT THE PRESIDENT-ELECT
DESCRIBED THEIR CALL MUCH
DIFFERENTLY. JAMES CLAPPER CALLED ME
YESTERDAY TO ANNOUNCE THE FALSE
AND FICTITIOUS REPORT THAT WAS
ILLEGALLY CIRCULATED, MADE UP.
PHONEY FACTS. TOO BAD.
HE HAS CONTINUED TO BASH HIS OWN
SPY SERVICES AT HOME.
>> THE FBI HAS BEEN IN TURMOIL.
YOU KNOW THAT. I KNOW THAT.
>> AND ABROAD.
>> I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS SITTING
BACK LISTENING ABOUT IRAQ.
WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION.
THEY WERE WRONG.
AND IT LED TO A MESS.
>> BUT FORMER SPY CHIEF MICHAEL

MOST? >> IF I'M THE HEAD OF A HOSTILE
OR EVEN FRIENDLY INTELLIGENCE
SERVICE, I'VE GOT A NEW OFFICE
OVER HERE. FOLLOW THAT ACCOUNT.
TELL ME WHAT THIS MAN IS SAYING.
IT'S TREMENDOUSLY REVEALING.
WE KNOW THE PRESIDENT'S HOT
BUTTONS. WE KNOW HIS VULNERABILITIES.
WE KNOW WHAT UPSETS HIM.
WE KNOW WHAT HE DEMANDS FROM HIS
SUBORDINATES. WE EVEN KNOW HIS SLEEP PATTERNS
BASED UPON HIS TWITTER USAGE.
THAT'S A TREMENDOUS GIFT TO A
FOREIGN POWER.
>> ALL OF THOSE THINGS SOMEBODY
LIKE VLADIMIR PUTIN SAY TAKES
GREAT PAINS TO HIDE.
>> OF COURSE. BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT TO
ADVANTAGE THE OTHER GUY.
>> WHILE LASHING OUT AT THE
"WASHINGTON POST," THIS TWEET
DECLASSIFIED A TOP SECRET
OPERATION TO ARM SYRIAN REBELS.
INTENTIONAL OR NOT, IT'S THE
KIND OF REVELATION THAT MAKES
JAWS DROP IN THE CAPITALS OF THE
ENEMIES AND ALLIES.
>> I CAN GUARANTEE YOU THAT
THERE ARE LACE IAISON SERVICES
WORK WITH US WHO HAVE PROBABLY
DECIDED TO DO A LITTLE
SELF-EDITING AND HAVE SAID WE
JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT HE'S GOING
TO DO.
>> THEY'RE WITHHOLDING VALUABLE
INFORMATION FROM THE U.S. OUT OF
FEAR THAT HE MIGHT TWEET IT.
>> I BELIEVE THAT'S PROBABLY
HAPPENING. >> CAN I ASK IF YOU VOTED FOR
HIM? >> I DID.
RELUCTANTLY, BUT I DID VOTE FOR
HIM. >> DAVIS HANSON IS A
CONSERVATIVE HISTORIAN AND
SCHOLAR. WHILE THE PRESIDENT'S TWITTER
HABIT PAINS HIM, HE'S HOPEFUL IT
IS JUST TRUMP'S ART OF THE DEAL.
>> IT'S A MATTER OF STYLE.
AND BEING UNPREDICTABLE AND MAD,
IF IT'S CONTROLLED, AND IT'S
CONTROLLED BY SOBER AND PEOPLE
LIKE MATTIS AND McMASTER, MAYBE
TILLERSON AS WELL, THEN IT
REMINDS ME SORT OF, I DON'T KNOW
IF YOU'RE OLD ENOUGH TO
REMEMBER, BUT WHEN NIXON DEALT
WITH THE VEET NA MEES, BUT KISS
I THINK JURY WAS THE GOOD COP
AND HE WOULD GO OVER TO ALL THE
ENTITIES AND SAY NIXON IS JUST
OUT OF CONTROL.
HE MAY BOMB AT CHRISTMAS.
HE MAY GO INTO DEF COM THREE.
WHO KNOWS WHAT HE'S CAPABLE OF.
THEY SAID CAN YOU CALM HIM DOWN?
>> BUT IF TRUMP IS PLAYING
BACKUP, WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE
GOOD COPS DON'T KNOW THE SCRIPT?
>> HAVE YOU HEARD FROM DIPLOMATS
AROUND THE WORLD LOOKING FOR
CLARITY, LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO
INTERPRET THIS MAN?
>> CONSTANTLY.
BECAUSE THERE'S A DISCONNECT
BETWEEN WHAT THEY'RE HEARING
FROM THE SECRETARY OF STATE, THE
SECRETARY OF DEFENSE OR
AMBASSADOR AND WHAT THE
PRESIDENT'S COMMUNICATING
HIMSELF.
THEY'RE ALL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
WHICH END IS UP.
WHAT'S THE POLICY?
WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO BELIEVE?
IT IS A SOURCE OF CONFUSION.
>> I'VE HEARD DEFENDERS SAY HE'S
TWEETING CRAZY LIKE A FOX.
HE WANTS TO KEEP PEOPLE OFF
BALANCE.
>> THAT MIGHT BE GOOD IN THE
REAL ESTATE MARKET.
IT'S NOT GOOD WITH THE PRESIDENT
OF FRANCE OR THE PRIME MINISTER
OF THE UNITED KINGDOM.
TO HAVE THE WORLD'S MOST
POWERFUL NATION BE SEEN AS
INCONSISTENT, UNPREDICTABLE AND
UNRELIABLE, THAT'S NOT A
BUSINESS ADVANTAGE. >> SO WHAT WORRIES ME IS I THINK
TO MYSELF WILL SOME UNHINGED
PERSON OVERSEAS INTERPRET THAT
IN A PARTICULAR WAY AND TAKE
ACTION IN A PARTICULAR WELL AND
WILL THAT INITIATE A CHAIN OF
EVENTS THAT CAN'T BE CALLED
BACK?
AND THEN AS A HISTORIAN I SAY TO
MYSELF WELL, MADNESS IS NOT
ALWAYS A DISADVANTAGE IN
DIPLOMACY. SOME OF THE PEOPLE WHO ACT THE
CRAZIEST HAVE BEEN VERY
SUCCESSFUL.
>> BUT FOR THOSE WHO PREFER
STRATEGY OVER WISHFUL THINKING,
IS THERE ANY WAY TO GET THIS MAN
TO CHANGE HIS WAYS?

>>> LAST NIGHT, YEAH.
AND I TWEETED.
I TWEETED.
CAN YOU BELIEVE?
>> OF HIS THOUSANDS OF MEAN
TWEETS, THERE IS AT LEAST ONE
PRESIDENT TRUMP REGRETS.
IT CAME WHEN KIM CAKE OUT OF
SECLUSION TO APPEAR AT THE 2014
OSCARS. HAVING A REAL HARD TIME WATCHING
THE ACADEMY AWARDS, TRUMP
TWEETED. KIM SHOULD SUE HER PLASTIC
SURGEON. FRIENDS SAY THE 81-YEAR-OLD WAS
SO DEVASTATED SHE DIDN'T LEAVE
HOME FOR MONTHS.
>> I SAID, SO, WHY DID YOU DO
THIS TO KIM NOVAK AND HIS FIRST
RESPONSE WAS I DIDN'T GET INTO
ANY TROUBLE FOR IT, DID I?
>> AFTER ANNOUNCING HIS RUN FOR
PRESIDENT, TRUMP EVENTUALLY
APOLOGIZED.
>> THE FACT THAT I CAUGHT HIM
BOTHERED HIM.
AND HE HAD TO TALK ABOUT IT
QUITE A BIT AND EVENTUALLY SAY
WELL, YOU'RE RIGHT, IT WASN'T A
VERY NICE THING TO DO.
NOW, I THINK HE WAS SENSITIVE TO
BEING CALLED OUT.
>> TWEETS. >> I DON'T SEE THAT AS AN
APPROPRIATE COMMENT.
>> I'M APPALLED.
>> I THINK AT TIMES HE'S RUDE
AND CRUDE. >> THERE IS NO SHORTAGE OF
VOICES CALLING FOR THE PRESIDENT
TO CUT BACK AND TONE IT DOWN,
INCLUDING HIS OWN VOTERS.
>> HOW DO YOU THINK HE'S DOING?
>> MAN, IT'S KIND OF CRAZY.
WE HAVE A NEW TWITTER PRESIDENT.
I WISH HE WOULD TWEET LESS.
>> IS IT A RISKY WAY TO
COMMUNICATE? >> IN A SUMMER POLL, SEVEN IN
TEN AMERICANS TOLD CNN THAT
TWITTER IS A RISKY WAY FOR A
PRESIDENT TO COMMUNICATE.
BUT THERE ARE MANY SUPPORTERS
WHO DISAGREE.
>> HE EQUATES REASONABLY IN MY
OPINION. NO, I'M JUST GOING TO BE KEEP
TWEETING. I'M GOING TO BE A TWEETING
PRESIDENT AND WROOUR GOIYOU'RE
GET USED TO IT. I LOVE IT.
EVERY TIME HE TWEETS.
I AM ENTERTAINED.
SOMETIMES I'M INFORMED.
IT TELLS ME WHAT TO CARE ABOUT
TODAY. IT TELLS ME WHAT HE'S THINKING.
SOMETIMES IT'S PROVOCATIVE OR
TOO PROVOCATIVE.
I LIKE THE HONESTY OF IT.
>> YOU'RE ENTERTAINED.
>> THAT IS NOT A SMALL THING.
>> IS THERE INTEREST
CIRCUMSTANCE UNDER WHICH YOU'D
SUSPEND THE PRESIDENT'S SNKT.
>> WE HOLD ALL ACCOUNTS TO THE
SAME SERVICE, BUT WE'RE GUIDING
EVERYONE TOWARDS BETTER USAGE OF
THE PLATFORM.
>> IT IS TWITTER POLICY TO
SUSPEND USERS FOR ABUSE AND THEY
HAVE SHUT DOWN FAKE ACCOUNTS
RETWEETED BY THE PRESIDENT.
LIKE THE WHITE HOUSE, TWITTER
DECLINED OUR REQUEST FOR AN
INTERVIEW.
TRIED TO PRESS JACK DORSEY ON
WHETHER THEY WOULD EVER
INTERVENE.
>> SO THAT'S A YES OR NO?
>> WE'RE ALWAYS GOING TO WORK
WITH ALL OF OUR ACCOUNTS AND ALL
PEOPLE USING OUR PLATFORM TO
MAKE SURE THEY'RE USING IT IN
HEALTHY WAYS AND TO GUIDE
TOWARDS MORE POSITIVE IMPACT.
>> BUT AMONG THOSE WHO SEE REAL
VALUE IN HIS TWEETS IS A MAN WHO
DISAGREES WITH ALMOST ALL OF
THEM. >> SO YOUR TWITTER BILE,
PATRIOTIC AMERICAN, PROUD
IMMIGRANT, MOVIE BUFF,
SPRINGSTEEN FAN. >> TRUE.
>> BANNED BY PUTIN.
PREET ONCE RAN ONE OF THE MOST
ELITE TEAMS IN AMERICA.
PROSECUTOR, INVESTIGATOR
WIELDING SUBPOENAS AND GRAND
JURYS. NOW WHEN HE SEES INJUSTICE ALL
HE HAS IS TWITTER.
YOU CHOSE THE PRESIDENT'S
FAVORITE FORM OF MEDIA TO ANSWER
BACK AFTER YOUR FIRING.
WHY IS THAT?
>> WELL, THAT'S THE ONLY OPTION
I HAD.
I STARTED BY HAPPENSTANCE A FEW
DAYS AFTER I GOT FIRED NOT
EXPECTING TO GET FIRED.
AS TOP DISTRICT ATTORNEY FOR HIS
DISTRICT TRUMP'S TOWER WAS PART
OF HIS WATCH.
>> HE ASKED ME TO STAY, IMPLORED
TO ME TO STAY, IN FACT.
>> AND THEN HE CALLED YOU A
COUPLE TIMES?
>> CALLED ME A FEW TIMES TO
SHOOT THE BREEZE, WHICH IS
UNUSUAL. THE NUMBER OF TIMES PRESIDENT
OBAMA CALLED ME WAS ZERO.
>> HE WAS ASKED TO RESIGN ALONG
WITH DOZENS OF OTHER OBAMA
APOINTIES, FAIRLY STANDARD AFTER
CHANGE IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
BUT HE REFUSED AND USED TWITTER
TO LET THE WORLD KNOW IT.
WAS THAT EASY FOR YOU?
WAS IT LIBERATING?
>> I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS
LIBERATING.
BUT I HEARD SOME PEOPLE REMARK
ON TWITTER AND ELSEWHERE PREET'S
A DIFFERENT GUY.
I'M NOT A DIFFERENT GUY.
I HAVE A DIFFERENT JOB.
>> SO MANY OF THE DEFENDERS SAY
YOU'VE GOT IT TAKE IT IN SOME
TOTAL. WE TAKE HIM SERIOUSLY NOT
LITERALLY. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT?
>> HE'S THE PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES.
WHAT IT PRESIDENT SAYS MATTERS.
IT'S PROBABLY THE PUREST
SUGGESTION OF WHAT IS IN HIS
MIND AND WHAT HIS INTENTIONS AND
WANTS ARE.
AND IF SOME OF THINGS ARE TO
RESTRICT THE FREE PRESS, IF SOME
OF THOSE THINGS ARE TO MAKE
CONGRESS LESS DEMOCRATIC, IF
SOME OF THINGS TO MAKE IT IT
LIKE PRESIDENT DUTERTE AND SOME
OTHERS ARE IN THE WORLD.
>> I'M CONNECTED WITH A GUY BACK
HOME WHO IS OFTEN REFERRED TO AS
THE FORGOTTEN MAN.
I'M TWEETING DIRECTLY TO HIM.
AND WHEN YOU KNOW THOSE ELITIST
INSIDERS IN WASHINGTON, D.C. WHO
SUPPORT THE STATUS QUO AND
STATUS QUO AND WORKING FOR YOU,
WHEN THEY'RE RAISING HELL WITH
ME, I'M STANDING UP FOR YOU.
AND I THINK PEOPLE DO FEEL THAT
SOMEWHERE IN THEIR GUT.
THERE'S ALWAYS BEEN
ESTABLISHMENT.
AND THERE'S ALWAYS BEEN THE RUB,
IF YOU WILL, THE COMMON MAN
AGAINST THE ESTABLISHMENT.
AND I THINK DONALD TRUMP HAS
JUST TAPPED INTO THAT IN A WAY
WE HAVEN'T SEEN IN A LONG, LONG
TIME. AND I DON'T BELIEVE ANY
PRESIDENT MAY GO BACK TO NOT
USING TWITTER.
THEY MAY BE A LITTLE MORE
CAREFUL, BUT THEY'RE GOING TO BE
USING TWITTER OR THE GRANDSON OF
TWITTER, THE NEXT GEN.
>> WHEN HE USES TWITTER TO PUSH
POLICY OR TAKE CREDIT FOR
ECONOMIC SUCCESS, TO ANNOUNCE
CHANGES THAT CAN CATCH EVEN THE
MILITARY OFFGUARD OR RETWEET
MEMES OF HIMSELF HITTING HILLARY
CLINTON WITH A GOLF BALL,
CRITICS MAY HOWL.
BUT HE'S NOT TWEETING TO THEM.
HE'S PLAYING STRAIGHT TO THE
BASE, AND THEY LOVE IT.
>> I LOVE IT.
>> AND YOU KNOW WHAT IT DOES?
>> I THINK THAT IS PART OF THE
APPEAL TO MANY PEOPLE IS IT'S
JUST RAW AND IT'S OUT THERE.
>> I THINK TWITTER IS A GREAT
THING FOR HIM. I HOPE HE CONTINUES TO HIT BACK
IF PEOPLE HIT BACK AT HIM.
>> TO ME, I LOVE HIS TWEETS.
I ACTUALLY WASN'T WAIT TO WAKE
UP IN THE MORNING TO SEE THEM.

>>> ABRAHAM LINCOLN WOULD
PROBABLY NOT BE ELECTABLE TODAY
BECAUSE OF TELEVISION.
HE WAS NOT A HANDSOME MAN AND HE
DID NOT SMILE AT ALL.
HE WOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED TO BE
A PRIME CANDIDATE FOR THE
PRESIDENCY, AND THAT'S A SHAME,
ISN'T IT?
>> WAS HE RIGHT?
IF HIS USE OF SOCIAL MEDIA IS
MODERN DAY PRESIDENTIAL, WHAT
DOES IT SAY ABOUT MODERN DAY?
COULD THE BRILLIANT GUYS ON
MOUNT ROUSHMER WIN AN ELECTION
NOW? AND HOW WOULD LINCOLN PLAY ON
TWITTER? OH, THIS IS GOOD THREAD.

CHARITY FOR ALL, WITH FIRMNESS
AND THE RIGHT AS GOD GIVES US TO
SEE THE RIGHT, LET US STRIVE
ONTO FINISH THE WORK WE ARE IN,
TO BIND UP THE NATION'S WOUNDS,
TO CARE FOR HIM WHO SHOULD HAVE
BORNE THE BATTLE, AND FOR HIS
WIDOW AND FOR HIS ORPHAN.
TO DO ALL WHICH MAY ACHIEVE AND
CHERISH A JUST AND LASTING PEACE
AMONG OURSELVES AND WITH ALL
NATIONS.
IN THE END TWITTER IS JUST A
TOOL, LIKE A BLADE OR A FLAME IT
CAN BE USED TO HARM OR HEAL, TO
CREATE OR DESTROY.
AND WITH ALL TOOLS IT ALL COMES
DOWN TO THE PERSON HOLDING IT.
