Trump on Twitter: Restrained or an unvarnished White House?
NEW YORK — President-elect Donald Trump is promising restraint on Twitter but showing few signs of letting up on the tweetstorms that served as a pillar of his winning White House campaign, an approach to social media that could take presidential discourse into unchartered territory.
President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s “Fireside Chats,” it’s not likely to be.
Trump said in an interview with CBS’s “60 Minutes” taped Friday and aired Sunday that he would be “very restrained” but credited social media sites like Twitter for helping him triumph over Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
